The Talmud vol. 15: The Steinsaltz Edition : Tractate Sanhedrin, Part 1

Rating:
Summary: Adin Steinsaltz is a light to a new generation
Review: Rabbi Steinsaltz's work is continuing to allow the non-Hebrew speaking reader access to one of the greatest living books of Judaism. This introductory volume to the Tractate Sanhedrin captures for the non-Yeshiva student the insight and nuances of the Rabbis of long ago. The basis of Jewish law is layed out before the reader with succinct eludication.
Unlike other English translations of the Talmud, Steinsaltz "fills in the blanks" to the novice and the student of the Talmud unlike the others.
Rabbi Steinsaltz has given the modern reader a gift of great value in his work and by sharing his insight, opens the gates of understanding.
It is rumored that Random House will no longer publish the English editions of the Steinsaltz Talmud. If this is true, it is a great lost to all of us who are attempting to unearth the gems of wisdom and understanding.
Any of the Steinsaltz Talmud tractates are worth their weight in gold.

Summary: Easy acces to Talmud
Review: This edition is perfect if your not too hot on your aramaic. It has a clear lay out and a good translation. It provides an easy to follow english version with the hebrew layed out along side and tries its best to keep the style and order of the original. San Hedrin deals with the laws of the law keeping body in Israel, 2000 years ago.
