The Koren Talmud Bavli: Tractate Berakhot (Hebrew Edition)
These commentaries comprise a truly great work, which can be of great benefit not only to those who are familiar with Talmudic study and who wish to delve deeper, but also to those who are just beginning to learn, introducing them to the ways of the Torah, and teaching them how to understand and to dive further into the sea of the Talmud. --Rabbi Moshe Feinstein zlI have just had the pleasant surprise of receiving Masechet Shabbat (Part One) which has been published by [Rabbi Steinsaltz] along with his explanation and so on. Happy the man who sees good fruits from his labors. May he continue in this way and add yet more light, for in the matters of holiness there is always room to add and we have been commanded to add for they are linked to the Holy One who is infinite. May God grant him success, and enable him to improve and to add to this work, for the merit he brings the community supports him in his efforts. --Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the Lubavitcher Rebbe zlIf the Bible is the cornerstone of Judaism, then the Talmud is the central pillar, soaring up from the foundations and supporting the entire spiritual and intellectual edifice. In many ways the Talmud is the most important book in Jewish culture, the backbone of creativity and of national life. No other work has had a comparable influence on the theory and practice of Jewish life, shaping spiritual content and serving as a guide to conduct. --Rabbi Adin SteinsaltzI have just had the pleasant surprise of receiving Masechet Shabbat (Part One) which has been published by [Rabbi Steinsaltz] along with his explanation and so on.
