Plot

The essays contained in here are intended to explore and deepen the meaning that the spiritual and intellectual life of historical Judaism was truly to be found in its houses of studies and Talmudic centers. They compose more than discrete interpretations of specific phases of Jewish religious and intellectual endeavor, unfold the inner world of that perculiar type--so often misunderstood and misnamed in the moder world--the Jewish intellectual.
