Ishei Hatanach / Encyclopedia Of Biblical Personalities

Anthologized from the Talmud, Midrash, and Rabbinic writings.

By Yishai Chasidah (Author)

In this magnificent volume, Rabbi Yishai Chasidah brings together biographical snippets from the length and breadth of Rabbinic literature, and organizes them by subject and chronology. The result is the closest thing we have to biographical analyses of the personalities of Scripture. The Rabbinic tradition, scattered through thousands of pages in scores of volumes, is essential for an understanding of the personalities of the Biblical narratives. Yishai Chasidah had the genius and scholarship to find the Rabbis' teachings, gather them, and fashion all their individual hues of biography and personality into a coherent picture. Now, for the first time ever, this book is available in English, in a magnificently produced volume, one that you will be proud to display on your coffee table or keep on your library shelf. Over 500 pages. Ribbon place-marker. Handsome 8-1/2" x 11" deluxe format.
