Targum Press is an Orthodox Jewish English-language publishing company based in Jerusalem. It claims to be the third largest Judaica publisher after Artscroll and Feldheim. In addition to publishing books on Jewish law and philosophy, translations of classic texts, and fiction, it has played a vanguard role in popularizing Orthodox women's writing. It also publishes a quarterly magazine, Horizons: The Magazine for Today's Jewish Woman.

[edit] History

Targum Press was founded in 1988 by noted Jerusalem-based educator, the late Rabbi Moshe Dombey, at the time a lecturer at yeshiva Ohr Somayach and Neve Yerushalayim seminary. Its first publication was Halichos bas Yisroel: a Women's Guide to Jewish Observance, distributed by Feldheim Publishers.

In 2006, Rabbi Dombey passed away, and was replaced as CEO by Rabbi Abraham S. Goldberg.
