For five generations of the Talmudic era, the great Sages of the Land
of Israel flourished in the Galil. There, like the Sages of Babylonia,
they debated, expounded, and applied the laws and principles of the
Mishnah that were received at Sinai .The sacred learning of those years
was gathered in the Talmud Yerushalmi — The Jerusalem Tamud.
They
lived with Roman pogroms and persecution — but the flame of Torah
burned bright despite it all. Until about 350 C. E., when brutal Roman
anti-Semitism decimated the Holy Land’s yeshivos and silenced its voice
of Torah. But the Sages’ teachings live on in the Talmud Yerushalmi,
just as the teachings of Babylonia live one in the Talmud Bavli — The
Babylonian Talmud.
But while the Sages of Babylonia had another
150 years to redact, clarify and organize the text of the Babylonian
Talmud, Roman persecution in the Holy Land made that impossible. Thus,
the Jerusalem Talmud is exceedingly difficult, and — despite its great
significance – it has been a closed book to all but select, elite
scholars.
Now, thanks to the outstanding scholars who produced
the classic Schottenstein Edition of Talmud Bavli, the lock is being
removed on yet another treasure-house of Torah Sheb’al Peh, the Oral
Law.
This project has been enthusiastically welcomed and endorsed by Torah leaders in Israel and America.
