This is an expanded edition of the classic text on Jewish theology, by the renowned Talmudic scholar who "Newsweek" described as "a genius of the highest order". "The Essential Talmud" is 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 the renowned Israeli rabbi, scholar and teacher, Adin Steinsaltz. It is the first book to capture the flavour and spirit of the Talmud as a human document and to summarize its main principles as an expression of divine law.
