Synopsis
Why is wine so central to Jewish rituals? Is talmudic medical advice binding today? What is the connection between long meals and long life? And when is it appropriate to apply a humra? In this page-by-page companion to Berakhot, the first tractate of the Talmud, popular teacher and community leader Rabbi Levi Cooper explores the wisdom of the Jewish sages, transforming their ancient teachings into lessons for everyday life. This second volume explores the second half of Tractate Berakhot in a series of short, accessible essays highlighting the contemporary relevance of the pages of the Talmud. Volume I was published in 2012.
