Adin Steinsaltz: The Talmud and the Scholar

"The Talmud is the central pillar supporting the entire spiritual & intellectual edifice of Jewish life," according to Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz, one of the leading rabbinic scholars of our day. Thanks to his modern English translation & analysis of the Talmud, the Oral Law is becoming accessible to a new generation of English readers. The video takes a "behind the scenes" look at this warm & sensitive man. Whether at home in Jerusalem of at his newly-founded yeshiva in Moscow, whether teaching an overflow crowd of eager students or spending a few solitary moments at Jerusalem's Biblical Zoo, the Rabbi's boundless energy & philosophic insights serve as an inspiration to us all.
