The ancient rabbis believed that the world rests on three pillars:
study, worship, and good deeds. It is said that the greatest of
these is study, for it leads to the other two. But exactly how does
the modern Jewish reader go about studying the Mishnah, Talmud, and
Midrash-the great ancient and often hard-to-comprehend texts of our
tradition? And how do we glean the great insights and wisdom from
these sacred texts, which inspired our ancestors, and apply them to
our modern lives? With guidance from renowned author and educator
Barry Holtz, these ancient texts take on new meaning for us. He
provides a framework for exploring our thinking about God, prayer,
and ritual, as well as social issues, such as charity, friendship,
and justice. His new study guide helps readers and study groups
launch their exploration of the ancient texts, posing probing
questions to help them stay engaged as they pursue their quest for
a deeper understanding of their faith. This spiritual and spirited
book, a sequel to Holtz's classic Back to the Sources, is a
must-read for adult Jewish learners and educators alike.
