About Kafir Yaroq Books
Kafir Yaroq ("young green lion" in Hebrew) offers books for the study of source texts of the Hebrew tradition. It is an imprint of Green Lion Press, an established high quality academic publisher that for over twenty years has been providing access to sources in history of science and history of mathematics. Green Lion books are known for quality of editing, scholarly attention to detail, and uncompromising production values.
Kafir Yaroq Books publishes books of similar quality supporting study of Hebrew texts, particularly the Biblical corpus, maintaining the same high design and production standards that characterize Green Lion publications.
Our goal is to open up the delights of the Biblical Hebrew language and the Biblical text itself to readers who may have been dissatisfied or misled by tendentious or flattened English translations, or who have perhaps just never looked closely enough to notice the hidden treasures.

Our most recent publication:

With characteristic boldness, Robert Sacks offers a narrative path through themes, events, and actions in Genesis that repeatedly find their parallels and consequences in later books of the Torah and the Early Prophets. In light of the compelling unity these patterns convey, Sacks proposes to view Genesis not only as the first of the Five Books of Moses (the Torah), but as the opening work of a single composition consisting of Genesis through II Kings. read more...
