Sandy and I have been putting aside time to read the weekly Torah portion from the Art Scroll Stone Edition Chumash. We like this edition because it contains traditional rabbinic commentary that helps explain the portion we are reading. I also like to bring in the commentary of S. R. Hirsch and the commentary of Rashi to supplement our reading. The Chumash is also nice because it contains the Haftorah portions as well. It's kind of like getting an extra bang for our buck.
ספר תורה
We find this practice to be very interesting as neither one of us has spent any time to speak of reading the bible. My background gave me the stories but I didn't spend any real time reading the actual source of the stories. I find there is a lot more detail I was not aware of.
