Description

George J. Lankevich (au). “Actions speak louder than words.” “Birds of a feather flock together.” “Love is blind.” These adages & observations all have a common source -- the Talmud. In Jewish tradition, the Talmud embodies the laws of Judaism, as well as a way of study & intellectual development. The Talmud first evolved to interpret the Old Testament & provide fundamental rules for living. Over time, the range of its concerns went far beyond the laws of the Bible, & expanded to include lessons in astronomy, advice about various professions, dietary laws, & much more. Here are those pearls of wisdom that have served as a daily guide for countless people over 1,500 years. All offer illuminating insights & direction that can provide a foundation for a compassionate & focused life.
