DESCRIPTION:
Two Stars Texas boy I found it tedious to read.. Also recommended is Rabbi Bokser's poetic English in his edit of The Rabbi has a poetic command of the English Translation and stays close to traditional approaches in his understanding and explanations. Also recommended is Rabbi Bokser's poetic English in his edit of the High Holiday Prayer book, (Machzor). "easy to read" according to Ginny. Well written, concise, easy to read. An erudite and thoughtful overview of the Talmud. Ben Zion Bokser is very precise in his use of words.Gives one insight into a thousand-year old process for living a super life.
"This is not an uncommon impression and one finds it sometimes among Jews as well as Christians - that Judaism is the religion of the Hebrew Bible. Judaism is not the religion of the Bible." Bokser affirms revelation, but revelation is always framed in humans by man. The book covers a number of high-level topics, including social ethics and personal morality, with numerous examples from the Talmud. Bokser covers the long history of the Talmud, from its origin in the Babylonian exile, its growth through the five centuries after the Roman destruction of the Temple, and the later persecution of the Talmud. "Man receives a divine communication when the divine spirit rests on him, but man must give form to that communication.". He stressed the Rabbinic sages and the Talmud as the source of Judaism. This is a highly comprehensive introduction to the Talmud, the age-old storehouse of Jewish wisdom. Ben Zion Bokser was one of the major Conservative rabbis of America. It is, of course, a fallacious impression
