The Talmud’s vast wealth of wisdom is contained in sixty-three volumes.Studying the written Torah with its oral component offers a taste of the Torah in its purest form—the Torah and Jewish tradition as transmitted by God to Moses at Sinai. In The Torah Revealed, distinguished Rabbi Avraham Yaakov Finkel brings together in one comprehensive and accessible resource expert commentary from the Talmud on key passages contained in every portion of the Torah.
