Have You Seen 'Mitzvah Studies'?
Dear Friend,
Behind each of the Divine commandments that define Jewish life stands a rich world of Torah insight, discussion and debate. This is the world of the Talmud and of the masters of Jewish learning—from the time of Moses until the present day—who probe the meaning of the mitzvahs and the manifold details of their practice and application.
