Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Rabbinic Wisdom
This book contains sayings and stories culled from the wide range of Rabbinical literature. It is one of the few attempts thus far made to put Talmudic mater ial to pedagogic and inspirational uses. The teacher in the religious school might with profit ask his pupils to read one of these selections in order to furnish con crete, though often unfamiliar, illustration for the lesson to be taught. Nor can it be denied that, apart from pedagogic utility, this publication will serve as a religio-ethical reader. Miss Reizenstein does not claim to have translated the material she presents from the original sources, but desires herewith to ex press her indebtedness to the men whose translations of the Rabbinical literature into modern languages she has used. Bringing to her task exceptional skill and excellent judgment, coupled with valuable experience as a teacher in both public and religious schools, Miss Reizenstein has produced a book which will receive, I feel certain, a hearty welcome at the hands, not only of teachers and pupils, but also of a wider circle of Jewish readers.
