Talmudic Images

Talmudic Images is a collection of 13 intimate portraits of select personalities from the Talmud. It brings to life the heroes of the spirit, whose acts of heroism lie in their thoughts and their words, as Rabbi Steinsaltz puts it. Chapters on Hillel, Shammai, Rabban Yohanan Ben Zakkai, Rabbi Yehoshua Ben Hananiah and others are accompanied by a glossary, annotated bibliography, and timeline.
