August 21, 2018

Congratulations to Professor Barry Wimpfheimer, whose book, The Talmud: A Biography, was recently published by Princeton University Press.

"Wimpfheimer brilliantly opens the door into the complex and fascinating world of textual study, allowing readers to comprehend the origins, structure, and impact of this foundational Jewish text. Erudite and accessible, this is a book for anyone who wants a deeper understanding of the centrality of the Talmud in Jewish scholarship and life." -- Tova Mirvis, author of The Book of Separation: A Memoir
