How Should I Navigate The People's Talmud?

The Talmud is like the sea. On the surface, everything looks the same. It is only when you take the deep plunge do you truly behold the splendor within.

Your challenge will be to navigate the “Sea of the Talmud.”
You must plot your own personal and unique course while remembering where you've been and what you've found.

To help you do this, we have created The People's Talmud:

This is one of the most unique characteristics of the People's Talmud, the ability to thread a thought from one end of the Talmud to the other. So whether you are pursuing the

105

points about soulmates and dating,

The People's Talmud will safely carry you from shore to shore.

On this page every book of the Talmud is listed in order, including the Jerusalem Talmud.

Click on one of the books.
A pop-up window will greet you with a short text as to what to expect. At the top of this box you'll have two choices: ENTRIES, which are the text of the Talmud itself or BRAIN TEASERS.

We suggest you click on BRAIN TEASERS first.
A page of one-liners will appear.
Scroll down the page reading all of them.
If you can't resist, click on any of the one-liners and see where it takes you.

Now go back and click the option for ENTRIES, the text of the Talmud itself.

This will place you at the beginning of the book.
You'll notice, for example, < 1/436 >. The arrows will allow you to advance or go back.
The next time you come back, you'll be right where you left off.
