| Résumé : |
The Talmud and its companion work, the Midrash, constitute a whole library of the traditions of Israel. They are not a systematic summa of religious doctrine, but a lively first-hand account of great religious thinking and law at the level of life and experience.
The student of the Talmud, the reader of the Midrash, sits in as it were on the colloquies conducte1std in the academies of Palestine and Babylonia. The ceaseless pursuit of the understanding of the law, the passionate striving for the right, the awareness of the tragic limitations of human life, the sudden dazzling comprehension of the origin and aim of things — all this the reader witnesses with an immediacy and vividness rare in the religious literature of mankind. Nahum N. Glatzer, Professor of Jewish History at Brandeis University, worked for many years on a comprehensive compilation of talmudic Aggadah and Midrash before he attempted this short selection of representative passages. It is an introduction to the dynamic, fascinating, yet often misunderstood or misinterpreted world of talmudic wisdom. |
