The Talmud Of The Land Of Israel, Volume 4: Kilayim

Book Summary

This work presents the first English translation of and commentary to Tractate Kilayim of the Talmud of the Land of Israel (Yerushalmi, the Palestinian Talmud). Yerushalmi comprises the comments of third and fourth century rabbis to Mishnah (ca. 220 C.E.), the first document of rabbinic Judaism. Itself completed in the fourth century C.E., this Talmud contains valuable information concerning the early development of rabbinic religion. Edited by the acclaimed scholar Jacob Neusner, this thirty-five volume translation has been hailed by the Jewish Spectator as a "project...of immense benefit to students of rabbinic Judaism."
