A gen­er­al intro­duc­tion to the beliefs, atti­tudes, and meth­ods of the sacred text by which the Jew­ish peo­ple have lived and sur­vived through the ages by a renowned Israeli rab­bi, schol­ar, and teacher. The first book to cap­ture the fla­vor and spir­it of the Tal­mud as a human doc­u­ment and to sum­ma­rize its main prin­ci­ples as an expres­sion of divine law.
