My article on Dr. Philip Birnbaum’s forgotten Chumash translation and commentary, which was published in Hakirah 6 months ago, is now freely available on their website if you want to read it: https://hakirah.org/Vol35Lindell.pdf. It contains a section on Birnbaum’s life, and it’s the most comprehensive biography of him published to date.

Thanks for the info. I have the Birnbaum Siddur and the Birnbaum Machzor. I didn’t know that he had a Chumash as well.
The Machzor was a bar mitzvah gift, back in the Jurassic Era.
For a good English Chumash, I like R. Aryeh Kaplan. Artscroll doesn’t so much translate into English as it does into Hebrew, so to speak.
