The Talmud is filled with knowledge, inspiration, and insights that
enrich all facets of Jewish life. Yet many are intimidated by the
thought of studying its text, and their hesitancy prevents them from
experiencing the wisdom of its words. In this new volume, Rabbi Judith
Abrams takes readers with her on a journey through one volume of the
Talmud, offering reassuring guidance and making it meaningful and
accessible to all. The Talmud for Beginners-Volume 1: Prayer is the
first book in a series by Rabbi Abrams. For lay readers who are
unfamiliar with Talmud, this work serves as an introduction to talmudic
thought. For those who are familiar with talmudic methodology, this
volume will serve as a convenient overview of one book of the Talmud,
Berachot (literally, "blessings").
