Book Review:
This volume introduces the history, development, and principles of Torah She'b'al Peh (the Oral Law) – from Moses through the Prophets, the Men of the Great Assembly, the Pairs, the Tannaim, and the Geonim, to the Baal Shem Tov and Vilna Gaon. Topics include: the foundation of the Mishnah, the Jerusalem and Babylonian Talmuds, principles for deciding the law, terminology of the Talmud, weights and measures, and the thirteen rules of biblical exegesis (including Kal Vachomer, Gezeitah Shavah, Binyan Av). A valuable resource for students of Judaism and Talmud. Part of the acclaimed ArtScroll Mesorah Series.
