Promotional Price: $2.00 Original Price: 9.95 Description Table of Contents Description This book invites the reader to try to get into the Talmud. Nowadays, people are scarcely able to try. They do not know how to begin—or where—or why. Getting into the Talmud is no easy matter, even for those Jews who are ardent to recover for themselves what their ancestors once knew. This invitation is to join a community of learning men and women, for Talmudic learning is collective. You do not “read” the Talmud, you “learn” it, preferably with a haver, or a fellow student, and always with a rabbi. Here, Neusner shall be your rabbi.
