Reviews

[Dmcconkey]

I have finally finished a two year project - reading the Mishna beginning to end - accomplished! Mishna is often referred to as the oral torah - but it is not same as written torah. It is more interpretations on different commandment in the written torah dealing with tithes, clean and unclean etc. This was a one time effort - I will stick to reading the scriptures, much more fruitful.

Good translation but the introduction is worth the price of the book.

[Marsha Altman]

The translation is actually not that great, but if you're looking for a one-volume edition of the Mishnah and you don't like Neusner's strange formatting, this is the option for you.
