Click Images(s) to Enlarge

The Talmud is a unique repository of debate among generations of Jewish sages. While we may be familiar with the names Hillel, Shammai, Ben Zakkai and other Talmudic sages, and we may understand the schools of thought they represent, we are less likely to know much about their individual personalities, their inner lives, the historical contexts in which they lived. Talmudic Images presents intimate portraits of thirteen, key Talmudic sages. It offers glimpses into their very human lives, enabling us to better understand and more fully appreciate their remarkable contributions to the body of Jewish wisdom. Includes a glossary, annotated bibliography and timeline.

Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz

Scholar, philosopher, spiritual mentor Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz has been on a life-long mission to popularize the study of the Talmud, Judaism’s central text of law, ethics, customs, and history, the repository of thousands of years of Jewish wisdom. Rabbi Steinsaltz views Talmud study as an essential component of Jewish survival: “The entire edifice of Jewish culture is bound up in the Talmud…any place where the Talmud is lacking is not only lacking knowledge, but a central and vital component.”
