Book Description
Scattered throughout the Talmud are various sayings and stories dealing with Torah outlook, ethics, and values. Some are seemingly straightforward, while others are somewhat mystifying, and others simply baffling. Together, they constitute the area of Torah known as Aggadah, and contained within them are the fundamentals of Judaism.
Drawing on a wide selection of commentators from throughout the ages, this book helps uncover the depth and profundity of these ideas. It takes the reader on a journey of discovery which is inspiring, eye-opening and exhilarating, toward a vision of deeper Jewish living.
