E-text prepared by Juliet Sutherland, David King, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Hebraic Literature; Translations from the Talmud, Midrashim and Kabbala" by Harris is a scholarly compilation first published in the mid-20th century. The work aims to provide translations and insights into significant Jewish texts, particularly focusing on the Talmud, Midrashim, and Kabbalistic writings, which reflect the rich traditions and beliefs of the Jewish people over centuries. The opening of this work introduces the Talmud, emphasizing its comprehensive role as both a religious and legal corpus that has evolved from ancient Jewish oral traditions. It explains how the Talmud encapsulates Jewish law, ethics, and culture, discussing its historical context, struggles for survival, and its dual nature: the Halacha (law) and Agada (narrative). The text highlights the intricate methods through which the Talmud was developed, stressing the importance of its teachings in shaping Jewish identity and thought, and illustrates this with various quotes and anecdotes that showcase its philosophical depth and the humor embedded within the discussions.
