Adin Steinsaltz

Judith Abrams, author of the highly acclaimed The Talmud for Beginners, Volumes I & II, creates yet another way of making Talmud study easy and accessible for the novice. Rabbi Abrams has chosen to work with the Steinsaltz Edition of the Talmud, edited and with commentary by Adin Steinsaltz, one of the greatest Jewish thinkers of the twentieth century. This volume is a must for both student and teacher.

With his typical grace and sparkling wit, Talmudic master and rabbi Steinsaltz explores in these collected essays topics ranging from the nature of Jewish identity and the character of the state of Israel to interpretations of the five megillot (Ruth, Song of Songs, Ecclesiastes, Lamentations, and Esther). Included here are two interviews that provide glimpses into the intensity that marks the life and work of this great teacher. Highly recommended. Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.
