It was widely used in North American synagogues and reprinted in England. Until the 1917 Jewish Publication Society translation, the Leeser translation was the most important Jewish English translation. In 1857 he re-issued it in a second (folio-size) edition, with abridged notes. His translation of the entire Bible into English was completed as The Twenty-four books of the Holy Scriptures in 1853 (commonly called The Leeser Bible). Leeser began with a five-volume, bilingual Hebrew–English edition of the Torah and haftarot, The Law of God (Philadelphia, 1845). The first American Jewish English translation of the Torah, and subsequently of the entire Tanakh, was the 19th century effort by Isaac Leeser.

Nevertheless, Jewish translations of the Bible to English have become far more widespread, especially since the 1980s, and have been made available in numerous complementary versions and styles. Even those who require translations often prefer a bilingual edition. Many translated Bibles and prayer books from before the Holocaust were still in Yiddish, even those published in countries like the United States.Ī further reason is that often those Jews who study the Bible regularly still do so, to a greater or lesser extent, in its original language, as it is read in the synagogue. Before then, even Jews in English-speaking countries were still part of an immigrant culture to a large extent, which meant that they could either understand the Hebrew Bible in its original language to a certain degree or, if they required a translation, were still not fully comfortable in English.
