The \u003cem\u003eZe'enah U-Re'enah\u003c\/em\u003e is a major text that was talked about but has not adequately studied, although it has been published in two hundred and seventy-four editions, including the Yiddish text and partial translation into several languages. Many generations of Jewish men and women have studied the Torah through the Rabbinic and medieval commentaries that the author of the \u003cem\u003eZe'enah U-Re'enah\u003c\/em\u003e collected and translated in his work. It shaped their understanding of Jewish traditions and the lives of Biblical heroes and heroines. The \u003cem\u003eZe'enah U-Re'enah\u003c\/em\u003e can teach us much about the influence of biblical commentaries, popular Jewish theology, folkways, and religious practices. This translation is based on the earliest editions of the \u003cem\u003eZe'enah U-Re'enah\u003c\/em\u003e, and the notes annotate the primary sources utilized by the author. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContributor Bio:\u003c\/strong\u003eFaierstein, Morris M\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMorris M.
