5.0 out of 5 stars Thank You Rabbi Steinsaltz, November 24, 2001

By	Kim Egger (Freeport, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Rabbi Steinsaltz continues to allow modern readers to delve into the history, spirituality, and insights of the Rabbinical authorities of antiquity. Steinsaltz allows the interested reader to enjoy and understand the Talmud without years of study. Although there has been recent criticism of the Steinsaltz edition of the Talmud, it is simply the best and most accessible Talmud available. I highly recommend any of the Steinsaltz Talmud volumes to all readers.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent addition to your library, January 8, 2009

By	W. B. Halper (Saratoga, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a wonderful addition to your library. The books are clearly laid out and very readable.

The only problem is that they're out of print. Locating the books is challenging and the asking price for the rarer volumes is quite high

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy access to Talmud, May 29, 2000

By	"alon_zieve" (UK, Cambridge) - See all my reviews

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. San Hedrin deals with the laws of the law enforcing body of Israel, 2000 years ago.
