Rabbi Berel Wein Reviews Journeys in Talmud

Rabbi Berel Wein recently reviewed Journeys in Talmud in his weekly blog.

Here is a selection of Rabbi Wein’s comments:

Many times the operation of Talmudic thought and the opinions of the decisors of Jewish practice appear to be arcane or even mysteriously magical to those of us who did not have the benefit of an intensive Talmudic education. This is a work that will help to unravel the mystery and enable the reader to gain a full understanding and grasp of important Talmudic subjects that shape our value system and Jewish life generally.

The piquant quality of the Bernstein family’s wit and wisdom shines forth from every page of the book. There are great translations and elucidations of the Talmud available today. But this book goes beyond the simple exposure of what the Talmud says, and brings the reader into the inner workings of Talmudic thought and halachic decision-making. It truly takes the reader on a journey over the famous sea of the Talmud.
