The Talmud
Basic Books of Judaism

For better or worse, the Jews have been called "the people of the book," and because the Talmud looms so large in Jewish life, it, more than the Bible, really is the book. Rabbi Wein portrays the dynamic personalities of Chazal, the "founding fathers" of the Talmud, and scrapes the surface of just some of the monumental philosophical and ethical questions they pondered.
