Author Description

This is a new edition of the Babylonian Talmud, featuring the Tracts Betzah, Succah, and Moed Katan. Translated and edited by Isaac Mayer Wise and Godfrey Taubenhaus, this volume offers an accessible English rendering of key texts within Jewish religious and legal tradition.

This edition aims to make these complex texts more readily available to English-speaking scholars and students interested in exploring the depths of Jewish thought and tradition.
