It also includes a glossary of key terms and concepts, as well as a bibliography of additional resources for readers who wish to delve deeper into the subject matter.Overall, The Mishnah: Berakoth, Peah, Demai is an important resource for anyone interested in Jewish law and tradition, as well as for scholars and students of religious studies.
