<<FIRST TALMUD TEXTBOOK FOR JEWISH CHILDREN IN AMERICA.>>
Vocalized selections from the Talmud and Midrash. It represents the first attempt to incorporate Talmud into elementary Jewish education in America. The author writes in his introduction: “My heart originally desired to add a translation and commentary in the language of this land in order to benefit our youngsters, however the heart is dependent on the pocket… therefore my work leaves the print-shop without the translation” (p. 4).
