Description
Eight Gemaras on the Yamim Tovim, read in depth
Richard Hidary works through eight well-known Talmudic passages about the festivals using three tools: establishing the text, comparing parallel sources and reading the passage's literary structure. The method uncovers layers that are easy to miss. A technical debate about the size of a sukkah turns out to be about meeting the Divine, Purim humor carries sharp commentary on life in exile, and the laws of the Chanukah lights bring the Mikdash into the Jewish home.
It rewards anyone who learns Gemara and wants to see its artistry and meaning.
