Yes, I am Jewish.
I identify as a "growing" Jew. Growing in my faith and understanding of Judaism and what it means to be a Jew to be more specific.
I don't have a preferred commentary, I like to explore different ones. I think one of the best ways to learn is to attend a Torah class where the Rabbi will explain different commentaries and how they arrived at them. I especially like the real definitions of the Hebrew words used and how many times the meanings have much more substance than an English translation.
I really enjoy reading Rabbi Jonathan Sacks commentaries. He has a series out titled "Covenant and Conversations" for each of the 5 Books of Moses.
I also recently learned Dennis Prager has a series come out as well titled "The Rational Bible" but I don't know very much about it.
