Even though Navigating the Bible II bills itself as an online Bar/Bat Mitzvah Tutor, - having passed that age many eons ago - I can state, unequivocally, that this site can be enjoyed by all. It has translation, with commentary, in English, Spanish, and Russian. Also has audio files of Torah reading. Don't miss the reference section, a guide to people, places, plants and animals occuring in the Bible, an almanac reader's delight.
