The Babylonian Talmud is often cited as the bedrock upon which
Judaism stands. And yet, it remains a closed book for the majority
of Jews. Since the Talmud's composition does not follow the rules
of Western writing, beginning learners are often thwarted in their
first attempts to "swim in the sea of Talmud." These modern
learners often experience rabbinic literature as a sort of
stream-of-consciousness writing that seems to wobble off-track
quite frequently. Frustrated, these learners often give up. To
understand the Babylonian Talmud (also called the Bavli) readers
need to understand its process of composition and the fundamental
differences between Western and rabbinic writing styles. Judith
Abrams's The Babylonian Talmud: A Topical Guide is a teaching tool
and a reference book for those who teach and learn Talmud. It
explains the Babylonian Talmud's literary nature and metaphorical
meanings.
