Description - The Wisdom of Judaism by Rabbi Dov Peretz Elkins

While the "Hebrew Bible" is the cornerstone of Judaism, it is the "Talmud" that provides many central values for living. "The Talmud" sets out specific guidelines and lyrical admonitions regarding many of life's ordinary events and offers profound words of advice for life's most intractable dilemmas. This accessible introduction to the "Talmud" explores the essence of Judaism through reflections on the words of the rabbinic sages, from one of American Judaism's foremost teachers and writers, Rabbi Dov Peretz Elkins. Dr. Elkins provides fresh insight into ancient aphorisms and shows you how they can be applied to your life today. The topics include: kindness through giving, welcoming and sharing; human relationships; personal values; family values; teaching and learning; and life's puzzles. Enlightening and inspiring, the values of the "Talmud" can be appreciated not just by Jews, but by anyone seeking a greater understanding of life and its mysteries.
