Judah Nadich
Rabbi Akiba and His Contemporaries relates the stories told by and about the great rabbis and scholars of the talmudic period, and includes their ethical and moral teachings, their understanding of biblial tales, and historical and biological information.
This fascinating collection of legends and anecdotes brings to life the giants of the Talmud, including Rabbi Akiba aho is known as "the father of rabbinic Judaism," Rabbi Tarfon, Rabbi Ishmael, Rabbi Jose the Galilean, the famous pair of life-long students Ben Azzai and Ben Zoma, and the intriguing "heretic," Elisha ben Abuyah. Revealed through these takes are their practical wisdom, the standards of right conduct they advocated, the values they prized, and the goals and purposes of life as they saw them — all of which shaped Judaism from the early part of the second century of the common era until the present time.
