Synopses & Reviews
Edited by the acclaimed scholar Jacob Neusner, this thirty-five volume English translation of the Talmud Yerushalmi has been hailed by the
Jewish Spectator as a "project...of immense benefit to students of rabbinic Judaism."
Synopsis
This translation into English of the Talmud of the Land of Israel ('Palestinian Talmud, ' 'Yerushalmi') is preliminary and provisional, even though it is not likely to be replaced for some time. It is preliminary, first, because a firm and final text for translation is not in hand; second, because a modern commentary of a philological and halakhic character is not yet available; and, third, because even the lower criticism of the text has yet to be undertaken.
