Breitbart: Blue State Blues: On Finishing the Talmud, 72 Volumes and 7 Years Later
After seven years of daily study, I completed the Talmud, a central text of Jewish law. The Babylonian Talmud, more widely studied, and the Jerusalem Talmud were both compiled around 1500 years ago, documenting interpretations of the Torah believed to be given to Moses.
My journey began in a liberal Jewish school, continued through various life experiences, and ultimately led me to the Daf Yomi program, which made the monumental task of studying the Talmud more accessible. This experience has provided valuable insights and wisdom, reinforcing the relevance of ancient teachings today.
