This fascinating narrative illustrates and clarifies rabbinic views
relating to more than 250 topics. The Talmud has been a source of
study and debate for well over a millennia. What the Rabbis Said:
250 Topics from the Talmud brings that discussion out of the
yeshiva to describe and clarify the views of the talmudic rabbis
for modern readers. Much more than a compilation of isolated
rabbinic quotations, the book intersperses talmudic statements
within the narrative to provide a thoroughly engaging examination
of the rabbinic point of view. Exploring the development of
traditional Jewish thought during its formative period, the book
summarizes the major rabbinic comments from the vast expanse of the
Talmud and midrashic literature, demonstrating, among other things,
that the rabbis often took divergent positions on a given issue
rather than agreeing on a single "party line." As it delves into
such broad topics as God, the Torah, mitzvot, law and punishment,
synagogue and prayer, and life-cycle events, What the Rabbis Said
will help readers understand and appreciate the views of those who
developed the rabbinic Judaism that persists to the present day.
Numerous endnotes provide a wealth of information for the scholarly
reader without interrupting the flow of the text A glossary of
lesser-known terms facilitates understanding
