Come and Hear: What I Saw in My Seven-and-a-Half-Year Journey through the Talmud by Adam Kirsch is a good-natured “romp” through the seven-year reading cycle of the Talmud. Kirsch is not an expert on the subject, and does not read Hebrew or Aramaic, so he provides, in many ways, an excellent beginner’s guide to the Talmud. Readable, accessible, and entertaining, if you want to dip your toes into Talmud, this is a good kiddie pool.
