The Five Scrolls or The Five Megillot (Hebrew: חמש מגילות or Chomeish Megillos) are parts of the Ketuvim ("Writings"), the third major section of the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible). The Five Scrolls are the Song of Songs, the Book of Ruth, the Book of Lamentations, Ecclesiastes and the Book of Esther. These five relatively short biblical books are grouped together in Jewish tradition.



This is a splendid interpretation of the five Megilloth, scrolls that are read in the synagogue on five different holidays during the year. It contains a wealth of information from many sources.


English translations of the classic Jewish Bible commentators, which is mostly what I was looking for. Also, fortunately, some historical material is preserved in the original editor's introduction, which has not been changed. This series is a great addition to any Jewish household library.
