This new edition of the "Babylonian Talmud" includes the tracts "Abuda Zara" and "Horioth." This translation offers readers access to core texts of Jewish law and tradition. The Talmud, a central text of Rabbinic Judaism, serves as a cornerstone of Jewish religious thought, law, and ethical guidance. "Abuda Zara" deals with interactions between Jews and non-Jews, particularly concerning idolatry and commerce with gentiles. "Horioth" discusses unintentional sins and errors made by religious leaders and the community. This edition, translated by Michael Levi Rodkinson, Isaac Mayer Wise, and Godfrey Taubenhaus, seeks to make these complex legal and ethical discussions accessible to a broader audience, inviting both scholars and interested readers to engage with the foundational principles of Jewish thought.
