Composed of two works, the Mishnah and the Gemara, the Talmud is believed to provide serious students with one of the most sacred of experiences. It is, in fact, the Torah and the Talmud that offer the tenets of the Jewish religion. Here, in this classic work, which represents nearly 2,000 years of learning, are those pearls of wisdom that we can all benefit from and enjoy time and time again. Some may be familiar to you; others may be new. All, however, can offer illuminating insights and direction throughout your life.

In Jewish tradition, the Talmud embodies the laws of Judaism, as well as a way of study and intellectual development.

Some may be familiar to you; others may be new. Some may provoke a laugh; others, a tear.
