The Talmud is, in many ways, the most important achievement of Jewish culture. Yet this veritable heritage of Humanity remains to this day an object of curiosity, shrouded in mystery, and very little-known. The Talmud's creation is an ongoing task, always advancing, and always "under construction". It is an open book in perpetual motion. As oral tradition extends through generations, commentaries are added to commentaries. An edifice of knowledge, the Talmud also contains an impressive analytical methodology. Made up of frame-, dialectic, sophistic and other maieutic dialogues, it is a tool for reflection of the highest order.
