The Mishnah: Oral Teachings Of Judaism

The Mishnah: Oral Teachings Of Judaism. Selected and translated by Eugene J. Lipman. The Mishnah (a compilation of oral laws made at the close of the second century A.D.) and the Gemara (a commentary on the Mishnah) remain the central pillars of Judaism. Together the Mishnah and Gemara constitute the Talmud, which is, next to the Bible, the most, important literary work in the history of Judaism.
