Readers do not need any previous experience with the talmudic text since Scheinerman does an excellent job explaining its history and meaning in clear, easy-to-read prose. Her work manages to combine religious and scholarly understanding of the text in ways that will appeal to those unfamiliar with the Talmud. -Rabbi Rachel Esserman, Reporter -- Rabbi Rachel Esserman * Reporter * Author InformationRabbi Amy Scheinerman is a teacher, writer, and hospice rabbi.
