ABCs of Judaism: Stanisław Wojciechowicz ‘Ideas of Rabbinic Judaism’

Three Talmudic stories, presenting different rabbinic schools, their approaches to tradition and interpretation of law, were discussed. The Babylonian Talmud and the Vilnius Talmud were referred to as well as the first printing of the Talmud. Rabbi Wojciechowicz discussed the Books of the Old Testament, especially the Book of Malachi, paying attention to the moment of ‘arguing’ with God as an important aspect of rabbinic Judaism.
