Swimming in the Sea of Talmud: Lessons for Everyday Living

This book is widely used by students of Judaism, and was recommended to me by the Rabbi of my synagoguie because it has biographies of Rabbis that contributed to the Talmud. I am interested in the personalities and lives of several Second Temple scholars. If you are studying the Talmud this is a good choice. I purchased the Kindle version, as I do many of the books I read that I do not necesarily want to keep on a shelf.

Here you have an excellent Bar Mitzvah gift for a smart kid.You could pair it with a donation to a charity of your choice and you are "golden".This book is worthwhile and wonderful exploration of Jewish texts by very intelligent thoughtful Rabbis.It is stimulating, and erudite.Anyone interested in Jewish knowledge should own and learn from this book.Buy a copy for yourself as well!

Item arrived as described in the listing. No problems.

This book brings me joy! I refer to it often and have shared some of the wisdom with my friends. I would never part with it.

This is an easy to read and understand explanation of the Talmud, and is used in a class that I am taking on that subject.

I am studying the Talmud at Cohen Institute in Hazelwood, Missouri. The book is easy to follow and I appreciate the explanations.

thanks

Great, clear and very readable. This is something to read, consider, share, read aloud to some one far away, read again, etc. etc. etc.

Wirklich lesenswert, viel Neues, viele Erklaerungen, sehr viele gute Gedanken die lange nachwirken. Leider ist fuer die Kindle-Ausgabe ein Teil des Textes in einen anderen gerutscht.Das Buch ist so aufgebaut: immer zuerst der Originaltext aus dem Talmud, dann die Bibeltexte auf die er sich bezieht zitiert, dann die Erklaerungen des Originaltextes, und dann die Deutung fuer heute. Es hat mir leid getan als das Buch zu Ende war. Wer TED-Talks mag wird dieses Buch vermutlich auch moegen. Viel Info, viel Klugheit.
