An index to the Talmud by a NYC attorney

The Talmud is 63 volumes of rabbinical discourse.  “For the life of me,” Daniel Retter said, “I could not understand why the Talmud did not have an index.”

Mr. Retter’s newly published comprehensive alphabetical index, which took seven years to complete, now points readers to laws, parables, commentaries, and sages like Hillel and Shamai.  Its 6600 main headings; 27,000 subentries; and 42,000 references cost $29.99.
