“When the letter came out a few weeks ago, the oilam in shul asked the Rav of the shul (a major talmid chacham) why is this Chumash any different than the Emek Davar, as he also gives a pshat in Rashi. People were also wondering why this Chumash was any different than the Artscroll Rashi Chumash. The Rav answered that they ruined the tzura of the page. The tzura is Chumash and then Rashi underneath it. The pshuto shel mikra chumash first put the pasuk, then their pshat and then Rashi after that. The Emek Davar and Artscroll placed their pshat after Rashi.”
Not sure whether to laugh or cry.
Are you indeed Yeshivish? I don’t want to shock you, but the title of the Sefer is HaAmeik Dovor, which means “delve into the matter”, not “the Emek Davar”
If you can’t get the name right, I cant take your opinion seriously.
