Hezký úvod do židovské tradice. Podobenství k zamyšlení. Zamýšlela se.

[Patricia · Rating 4 out of 5]

A simple introduction to stories from the Talmud. If your interests are deeper, you might want to see The Essential Talmud (Adin Steinsaltz) or, especially, Judith Z. Abrams’ series The Talmud for Beginners.

[Barbara · Rating 5 out of 5]

Valuable insight into the "average" Jewish understandings of practices among Jews.

I am so sorry this book is over. I enjoyed reading it at night when I could think on the parables. Like it said, time to move directly to the Talmud which I haven't read since college in the 70s.
