 vitz discusses "How the Talmud Can Change Your Life"\nFor numerous centuri
 es\, the Talmud—an extraordinary work of Jewish ethics\, law\, and tradi
 tion—has compelled readers to grapple with how to live a good life. Full
  of folk legends\, bawdy tales\, and rabbinical repartee\, it is inspiring
 \, demanding\, confounding\, and thousands of pages long.\n\nAs Liel Leibo
 vitz enthusiastically explores the Talmud\, what has sometimes been misund
 erstood as a dusty and arcane volume becomes humanity’s first self-help 
 book. How the Talmud Can Change Your Life contains sage advice on an unpar
 alleled scope of topics\, which includes communicating with your partner\,
  dealing with grief\, and being a friend.\n\nLeibovitz guides readers thro
 ugh the sprawling text with all its humor\, rich insights\, compulsively r
 eadable stories\, and multilayered conversations. Contemporary discussions
  framed by Talmudic philosophy and psychology draw on subjects ranging fro
 m Weight Watchers and the Dewey decimal system to the lives of Billie Holi
 day and C. S. Lewis. Chapters focus on fundamental human experiences—the
  mindbody problem\, the power of community\, the challenges of love—to i
 lluminate how the Talmud speaks to our daily existence. As Leibovitz\nexpl
 ores some of life’s greatest questions\, he also delivers a concise hist
 ory of the Talmud itself\, explaining the process of its lengthy compilati
 on and organization.\n\nWith infectious passion and candor\, Leibovitz bri
 lliantly displays how the Talmud’s wisdom reverberates for the modern ag
 e and how it can\, indeed\, change your life. Liel Leibovitz is host of Ta
 blet’s daily Talmud podcast Take One and cohost of the Unorthodox podcas
 t. Author of A Broken Hallelujah and Stan Lee and coauthor of The Newish J
 ewish Encyclopedia\, he lives in New York City.\n\nIn addition\, we will b
 e selling books using our Shabbat system.
