Book Reviews of The Essential Talmud
Book Review: Accurate and useful but at times "overcrowded" information
Summary: 3 Stars
This book is good and useful for a beginner to understand the context and the structure of the Talmud. A limit, though, of this book is that too much information is given in a short tractation, thus sometimes it results in pages of bits of notions which the reader is unlikely to retain.
