Specificatii
The first complete English translation of the Hebrew classic Sefer
Ha-Aggadah brings to the English-speaking world the greatest and
best-loved anthology of classical Rabbinic literature ever
compiled. First published in Odessa in 1908-11, it was recognized
immediately as a masterwork in its own right, and reprinted
numerous times in Israel. The Hebrew poet Hayim Nahman Bialik and
the renowned editor Yehoshua Hana Ravnitzky, the architects of this
masterful compendium, selected hundreds of texts from the Talmud
and midrashic literature and arranged them thematically, in order
to provide their contemporaries with easy access to the national
literary heritage of the Jewish people -- the texts of Rabbinic
Judaism that remain at the heart of Jewish literacy today. Bialik
and Ravnitzky chose Aggadah -- the non-legal portions of the Talmud
and Midrash -- for their anthology. Loosely translated as legends,
Aggadah includes the genres of biblical exegesis, stories about
biblical characters, the lives of the Talmudic era sages and their
contemporary history, parables, proverbs, and folklore. A
captivating melange of wisdom and piety, fantasy and satire,
Aggadah is the expressive medium of the Jewish creative genius. The
arrangement of this compendium reflects the theological concerns of
the Rabbinic sages: the role of Israel and the nations; God, good
and evil; human relations; the world of nature; and the art of
healing. Here, the reader who wants to explore traditional Jewish
views on a particular subject is treated to a selection of relevant
texts at his fingertips but will soon become immersed in a way of
thinking, exploring, and questioning that is the hallmark of Jewish
inquiry. Whatever the imagination can invent is found in the
Aggadah, wrote the historian Leopold Zunz, its purpose always being
to teach man the ways of God. The Book of Legends/Sefer Ha-Aggadah,
now available in william Braude's superbly annotated translation,
enables modern Jews to experience firsthand the richness and
excitement of their cultural inheritance.
