This systematic introduction to the Talmud of Babylonia (Bavli) answers basic questions of form: how is this a coherent document? How do we make sense of the several languages in which it is written? What are the principal parts of the complex writing? Turning to questions of modes of thought, the account proceeds to address the intellectual character of the Bavli and in particular the character and uses of its dialectics. Finally, questions of substance come to the fore: how does the Talmud relate to the Torah? and how does tradition enter in? These basic questions of rhetoric, topic, and logic that anyone approaching the text will raise are dealt with clearly and authoritatively.

In Understanding the Talmud: A Modern Reader's Guide for Study, Rabbi Edward S. Boraz presents a thoughtful introduction to the Talmud designed for study by the untrained reader. Using a unique approach, Rabbi Boraz focuses on a specific selection from one tractate of the Talmud, allowing readers to uncover the moral and theological concerns of the text. The portion he has selected comes from the tractate Bava Metziah and deals with the conditions under which an oath may be administered in a civil lawsuit. On the surface this issue appears mundane and far removed from the domain of holiness. However, when the discourse is studied in relation to passages from Scripture, Midrash, and Mishnah that are also presented, it becomes a spiritual and ethical adventure. Before embarking on this journey of discovery, the reader is given a concise explanation of the rules of logic and the argumentative style utilized in the Talmud. It becomes evident that the Talmud's style is essential to its mission to understand the timeless messages of Torah in the context of the ever-changing world in which we live. Equipped with the necessary background, the reader is prepared to delve into the texts.

A witty and wide-ranging exploration of a book that has perplexed and delighted people for centuries: the Talmud. For numerous centuries, the Talmud—an extraordinary work of Jewish ethics, law, and tradition—has compelled readers to grapple with how to live a good life. Full of folk legends, bawdy tales, and rabbinical repartee, it is inspiring, demanding, confounding, and thousands of pages long. As Liel Leibovitz enthusiastically explores the Talmud, what has sometimes been misunderstood as a dusty and arcane volume becomes humanity’s first self-help book. How the Talmud Can Change Your Life contains sage advice on an unparalleled scope of topics, which includes communicating with your partner, dealing with grief, and being a friend. Leibovitz guides readers through the sprawling text with all its humor, rich insights, compulsively readable stories, and multilayered conversations. Contemporary discussions framed by Talmudic philosophy and psychology draw on subjects ranging from Weight Watchers and the Dewey decimal system to the lives of Billie Holiday and C. S. Lewis. Chapters focus on fundamental human experiences—the mind-body problem, the power of community, the challenges of love—to illuminate how the Talmud speaks to our daily existence. As Leibovitz explores some of life’s greatest questions, he also delivers a concise history of the Talmud itself, explaining the process of its lengthy compilation and organization. With infectious passion and candor, Leibovitz brilliantly displays how the Talmud’s wisdom reverberates for the modern age and how it can, indeed, change your life.

Today many thousands of spiritually motivated Jews want to join the resurgence of interest in Talmudic study, but are disadvantaged by not having the benefit of years of childhood training in Hebrew, Aramaic, and the unique nature of Talmudic dialect. These adult learners are forced to choose between two undesirable alternatives: struggle with the text by looking up every other word in an Aramaic-English dictionary, or rely exclusively on a translated version of the Talmud.Reading the Talmud seeks to bridge this gap by providing the adult student with a way to ease the difficult transition toward learning the Talmud in the original. An entire chapter of Bava Metsia is broken up into forty-three manageable classes, providing the student with the basic tools: vocabularly, syntax and a series of questions to guide the reader along the pathways of the Talmudic argument. Proceeding through the classes, the reader gradually develops greater independence in Gemara learning through increasing familiarity with Talmudic rhythms and formulas.From the Letters of Approbation:"Will certainly be of invaluable assistance to newcomers to Talmudic study by enabling them to make a breakthrough...which will lead them to self-sufficient competence."Rabbi Mendel Weinbach, Rosh Yeshiva, Ohr Somayach"One of the most valuable books published in recent times.Rabbi Mordechai Becher, Senior Lecturer, Gateways Organization"...one who studies Torah in translation lives his entire life in translation...Reading the Talmud, an introductory Talmud textbook, answers this need..."Rabbi Baruch TaubNOTE: This eBook makes heavy use of Hebrew font, and at present is not available in the .mobi format.
