Riassunto

Written by the Orthodox historian Rabbi Berel Wein, The Oral Law of Sinai is an extraordinary and beautifully illustrated book that explores the Talmud—a law book that is a faithful transmission of the Oral Law of Sinai. As Rabbi Wein explains, the Talmud is two separate books comprising the Oral Law. This work offers an explanation of the first book of the Talmud, the Mishnah

Dalla quarta di copertina:

Praise for The Oral Law of Sinai

"This new book on the history of the Mishnah is a masterful, enlightening—as well as delightful—overview of a long-neglected subject. Rabbi Berel Wein has done it again: he has presented a difficult and arcane subject in a way that makes it available and attractive to any curious and intelligent reader. This kind of book is long overdue, and in Wein's gifted and capable hands, the Mishnah, the Talmud, and their sages become alive and vital. I heartily recommend this book."
—Rabbi Dr. Emanuel Feldman, former editor, Tradition magazine and the author of nine books

"With humor, irony, and pathos Rabbi Berel Wein succeeds in capturing five centuries of the intellectual development of the Mishnah or Talmud. The Oral Law of Sinai brings together the knowledge, culture, and law of the Jewish people and their Torah."
—Rabbi Binyamin Walfish, executive vice-president emeritus, Rabbinical Council of America

"Rabbi Berel Wein is undoubtedly the best-known and most widely read authority today on Jewish tradition, culture, and history. He writes with a rare—indeed unique—combination of erudition, readability, historical accuracy, and passion. The book before us, on the Mishnah, tells the story of the intellectual and spiritual giants who, two millennia back, laid the foundation for essentially all of today's Jewish tradition and culture. This is a big one, not to be missed!"
—Professor Yisrael (Robert) Aumann, Nobel Laureate in Economics, 2005
