| Publisher Description: Maurice Henry Harris's superb translation and commentary on the sacred texts of Judaism are authentic, well-researched and impeccably presented. Together they form a superb introduction to Judaism and the Hebraic traditions. In this book, Harris undertakes a thorough study of the ancient Jewish texts, hoping to present them to Jewish and non-Jewish readers alike in a manner both accessible and comprehensible to English speakers. The result is this translated compendium of three of the most fundamental sacred texts of Judaism: Together, these texts comprise three broad compendiums constituting (alongside the Torah and Hebrew Bible) the core principles of the Jewish faith. As such they hold immense historical, philosophical and religious insights into Jewish beliefs, and how ancient Rabbis sought to interpret God as presented in the Bible. In addition to the three principle texts, Harris explains the major Jewish fasts, festivals and customs, and introduces a variety of common proverbs and sayings. |
