5.0 out of 5 stars
Easy access to Talmud, May 29, 2000
This review is from: The Talmud vol. 14: The Steinsaltz Edition : Tractate Ta'Anit, Part II (Hardcover)
This edition is perfect if your not too hot on your aramaic. It has a clear lay out and a good translation. It provides an easy to follow english version with the hebrew layed out along side and tries its best to keep the style and order of the original.

A help in study, December 4, 2004
This review is from: The Talmud vol. 14: The Steinsaltz Edition : Tractate Ta'Anit, Part II (Hardcover)
The tractate Taanit is a particularly rich one .This translation will enable the English only , or English- primarily reader to get a general sense of it. However real Jewish learning must be done as communal study . And the reader is recommended to connect with a Jewish communal framework , to find those most learned and to learn with them.
I would also say that there is no substitute for learning in the original Hebrew- Aramaic. But this present translation can be of help to those whose English is stronger than their Hebrew. As for those without much Hebrew at all this volume can give a start in learning a world which otherwise would be closed.
