Many people see the Talmud as nothing more than a dry compendium of
legal opinions, but in fact the Talmud represents a rich repository of
literature encompassing all aspects of the world of the great Rabbinic
Sages. Rabbi Edwin Goldberg, author of Swords and Plowshares: Jewish
Views of War and Peace and Heads and Tales: Stories of the Sages to
Enlighten Our Minds, presents a window into this world in Love Tales
from the Talmud. Featuring original texts, translations, commentary, and
study questions, this accessible introduction to the study of Rabbinic
literature explores classic Jewish wisdom on love and relationships.
