Making the rich narrative world of Talmud tales fully accessible to modern readers, renowned Talmud scholar Jeffrey L. Rubenstein turns his spotlight on both famous and little-known stories, analyzing the tales in their original contexts, exploring their cultural meanings and literary artistry, and illuminating their relevance. Delving into both rabbinic life (the academy, master-disciple relationships) and Jewish life under Roman and Persian rule (persecution, taxation, marketplaces), Rubenstein explains how storytellers used irony, wordplay, figurative language, and other art forms to communicate their intended messages. Each close reading demonstrates the story's continuing relevance through the generations into modernity. For example, the story "Showdown in Court," a confrontation between King Yannai and the Rabbinic judges, provides insights into controversial struggles in U.S. history to balance governmental power; the story of Honi's seventy-year sleep becomes a window into the indignities of aging. Through the prism of Talmud tales, Rubenstein also offers timeless insights into suffering, beauty, disgust, heroism, humor, love, sex, truth, and falsehood. By connecting twenty-first-century readers to past generations, The Land of Truth helps to bridge the divide between modern Jews and the traditional narrative worlds of their ancestors.Binding Type: Paperback

Great non-toxic sunscreen option!!
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Very happy with the ingredients in this sunscreen! I feel great about putting it on my skin. Just know it leaves a pretty noticeable white sheen when you wear it. I've noticed that a lot with natural sunscreens but it's worth it!

Very heave texture.
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The texture is very heavy and greasy, and it leaves a white cast that takes quite a while to disappear. Itβs probably fine for the body during beach days, but not for daily use β especially not on the face.
