Product Description
While gathering the facts for Justice to the Jew, I chanced upon so many wise proverbs, witty sayings, beautiful parables, and quaint legends of the Talmud, that I became intensely interested in this remarkable literary production of antiquity. In its twelve folio volumes it embodies the mental labors of the ancient Jewish teachers during the period of about eight hundred years. After a lecture at a Western university, by a well-known Rabbi, one of his hearers went to him and said: I came to hearT heT almud, in order to know what kind of mud it is, confessing his utter ignorance as to the very name (T almud, Study, from latnad, to learn). I once asked one of the most brilliantly gifted preachers inN ew York, if he had ever read anything from the Talmud.
