Swimming in the Sea of Talmud
Lessons for Everyday LivingBy Michael Katz and Gershon Schwartz
(368 Pages)Publisher: Jewish Publication Society, 1997
This book is divided into three major sections. Part I gives a general introduction to the Talmud - its language, style of writing, mode of thinking and outlook on the world. Part II presents over ninety Talmud texts in novel format: Each selection, chosen from the Babylonian Talmud, begins with a famous talmudic aphorism or maxum. Next, a short selection of Talmud test is presented, within which the aphorism is embedded, in a new, modern translation. It is not onl y the language of the Talmud that is enigmatic: the concepts, values, and world-view are often difficult for us to understand. The "Context" section is a response to this challenge. Finally, in the "D'rash" section, modern applications of the talmudic teachings are given. part III contains glossary and indexes to make this book more user-friendly as well as guidance for the reader who wishes to continue the study of Talmd on his or her own.
