"Time in the Babylonian Talmud explores how rabbinic jurists' language, reasoning, and storytelling reveal their assumptions about what we call time. By "time," I do not mean measurements of duration such as hours, minutes, or days. There are more elastic and capacious approaches to time in the Babylonian Talmud (Bavli). As Virginia Woolf wrote, "An hour, once it lodges in the queer element of the human spirit, may be stretched to fifty or a hundred times its clock length; on the other hand, an hour may be accurately represented on the timepiece of the mind by one second." Considering imaginative writing by modernist writers like Woolf, as well as modern philosophical writings, allows us to break away from familiar presuppositions about time and to see temporal phenomena anew even in ancient cultural artifacts. This book turns to an ancient text, the Bavli, which remains a foundational text of Jewish law and culture, and uses it to think carefully about ancient and contemporary concepts of time. As we will see, temporality permeates the most intriguing legal concepts in the Bavli and it is equally central to the Bavli's storytelling. With this book, then, I hope to move a common debate about time in classical Judaism beyond the question of whether there was or was not a concept of time in rabbinic sources. Instead, I argue for examining in detail "time-like" phenomena in rabbinic texts. This approach sheds light on rabbinic thought in its late-antique intellectual contexts and reveals what Bavli temporal thinking can contribute to contemporary theories of time"--

Excerpt from The Babylonian Talmud Tractate Berakot Translated: Into English for the First Time, With Introduction, Commentary, Glossary and Indices One frequently meets with references to, or quotations from, the Talmud; but to most readers "Talmud" is merely a name for a branch of ancient literature remote, esoteric and inaccessible. The Jews who produced it, impressed by its vastness, speak of "The Sea of the Talmud"; but except to the comparative few who are willing to spend years in the study of the difficult language and intricate style in which it is composed, it is a sea uncharted and hazardous to navigate. The mystery which enshrouds this important section of Jewish literature is deepened by the diametrically opposite valuations which have been placed upon it. On the one hand, there are they who regard it as the greatest production of the Jewish genius after the Bible - a mine of the richest lore, an unfailing well of wisdom. Even fables and legends which, read superficially, sound but childish fancies are invested with a deep meaning and made the source of wholesome instruction. On the other hand, there are the critics who can discover only a few grains of corn hidden away in a huge heap of chaff. In a conflict of opinion of this kind, the truth is usually to be sought midway between the two extremes. Even eminent Jewish authorities of the Talmud have admitted that not every sentence in that work is to be regarded as the quintessence of wisdom. As for the unfriendly critics, it is impossible to consider their judgment as altogether unbiassed and disinterested.

Jeffrey L. Rubenstein offers a translation from the Hebrew of The Formation of the Babylonian Talmud by David Weiss Halivni. Halivni's work is widely regarded as the most comprehensive scholarly examination of the processes of composition and editing of the Babylonian Talmud. Halivni presents the summation of a lifetime of scholarship and the conclusions of his multivolume Talmudic commentary, Sources and Traditions (Meqorot umesorot). Arguing against the traditional view that the Talmud was composed c. 450 CE by the last of the named sages in the Talmud, the Amoraim, Halivni proposes that its formation took place over a much longer period of time, not reaching its final form until about 750 CE. The Talmud consists of many literary strata or layers, with later layers constantly commenting upon and reinterpreting earlier layers. The later layers differ qualitatively from the earlier layers, and were composed by anonymous sages whom Halivni calls Stammaim. These sages were the true author-editors of the Talmud, who reconstructed the reasons underpinning earlier rulings, created the dialectical argumentation characteristic of the Talmud, and formulated the literary units that make up the Talmudic text. Halivni also discusses the history and development of rabbinic tradition from the Mishnah through the post-Talmud legal codes, the types of dialectical analysis found in the different rabbinic works, and the roles of reciters, transmitters, compilers, and editors in the composition of the Talmud. This volume contains an introduction and annotations by Jeffrey Rubenstein.

Excerpt from The Babylonian Talmud Tractate Berakot Translated: Into English for the First Time, With Introduction, Commentary, Glossary and Indices Whatever be the merits or demerits of the Talmud, in it are enshrined the intellectual activity and the spiritual aspira tion of the leaders of Jewish thought during many centuries; and such a work cannot with fairness be rudely dismissed with scorn. It deserves respectful study. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Jeffrey L. Rubenstein continues his grand exploration of the ancient rabbinic tradition of the Talmudic sages, offering deep and complex analysis of eight stories from the Babylonian Talmud to reconstruct the cultural and religious world of the Babylonian rabbinic academy. Rubenstein combines a close textual and literary examination of each story with a careful comparison to earlier versions from other rabbinic compilations. This unique approach provides insight not only into the meaning and content of the current forms of the stories but also into how redactors reworked those earlier versions to address contemporary moral and religious issues. Rubenstein's analysis uncovers the literary methods used to compose the Talmud and sheds light on the cultural and theological perspectives of the Stammaim—the anonymous editor-redactors of the Babylonian Talmud. Rubenstein also uses these stories as a window into understanding more broadly the culture of the late Babylonian rabbinic academy, a hierarchically organized and competitive institution where sages studied the Torah. Several of the stories Rubenstein studies here describe the dynamics of life in the academy: master-disciple relationships, collegiality and rivalry, and the struggle for leadership positions. Others elucidate the worldview of the Stammaim, including their perspectives on astrology, theodicy, and revelation. The third installment of Rubenstein’s trilogy of works on the subject, Stories of the Babylonian Talmud is essential reading for all students of the Talmud and rabbinic Judaism.
