The Talmud: Selected Writings Paperback - 1989

by Ben Zion Bokser (Editor); Baruch M. Bokser (Editor)


From the publisher

"Paulist Press deserves credit for adding this new dimension to interfaith dialogue." The Jewish Spectator The Talmud: Selected Writings translated by Ben Zion Bokser introduced by Ben Zion Bokser and Baruch M. Bokser preface by Robert Goldenberg "Study with all your heart and soul that you may know God's ways and be attentive to His Torah. Guard His Torah in your heart and keep the fear of Him before your eyes. Guard your lips from every sin, and purify and sanctify yourself from fault and wrongdoing, and God will be with you everywhere." From "The Tractate Berakhot" In the first through the sixth centuries of the common era, successive circles of rabbis in the Holy Land and Babylonia developed Rabbinic Judaism. Transforming the biblical Temple-oriented form of Judaism, they shaped a vision of Judaism centered around the piety of following and studying the Torah to achieve a sense of the divine in this world. This piety entailed both an intellectual and emotional dimension that spoke to individuals and that affected the developing synagogues and local communities of Jews. The rabbinic teachings were eventually compiled into the Talmud and Midrash in a manner that perpetuated the piety of study. These works do not offer clear cut decisions but invite the reader into the text to join in a chorus of voices and alternatives pursuing a discussion on the meaning of the Torah and what the divine demands of men and women in their everyday world. This version of Judaism soon became "classical" and would remain formative until modern times. The present volume provides an introduction to the spirituality of this movement. After reviewing the historical and religious background of the Talmud and how it treats diverse spheres of human life, the volume lets the Talmud speak in its own words. With extensive selections from the Talmud, it enables the reader to enter its world as it addresses the proper way of approaching and experiencing life. +

First line

This volume presents selections solely from the Talmud and omits the related literature of the Midrashim and the Tosefta.
