Mordechai Breuer

Mordechai Breuer is an Orthodox rabbi. He is one of the world's leading Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) and Aleppo Codex (keter shel aram tzovah, in Hebrew) experts.

He has produced two editions of the Tanakh with text and formatting based on those of the Aleppo Codex (as far as it is extant); his work is also the basis of the edition known as "The Jerusalem Crown" (printed in Jerusalem in 2000).

He is a great-grandson of Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch and winner of the Israel Prize in 1999 for original Torah research.

He is known for developing Shitat Habechinot ("the aspect approach") which suggests that differing styles and internal tensions in the Biblical text represent different aspects of God or Torah, which cannot be merged without losing their identity.
