Full Text of English Babylonian Talmud

Gab Share

As part of my research for my novel Silver Skies (rabbi main character), I will study portions of the Talmud from a website by Tzvee Zahavy.

I include these videos BELOW for educational purposes only. I do not necessarily agree with all taught here.

Hannah Roussel got her master’s degree in Talmudic studies from the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, so she is worth listening to as my rabbi main character is a graduate of this school!
