The comprehensive commentary of Rav Samson Raphael Hirsch to the Chumash is based on his interpretative method of precise elucidation of the text and meaning of the words.

His grandson, Rav Dr. Joseph Breuer, applied this same method for his commentary to Sefer Yirmeyah, and has brought to light the timeless words of the prophet in an original, inspiring fashion. This English version of the Hirschian commentary to Sefer Yirmeyah is written in a modern, clear idiom and will attract scholar and student alike.
