Shalom! I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to let you know about a brand new book Mechon Hadar <http://www.mechonhadar.org> just published. The book is entitled "Reconstructing the Talmud <http://www.amazon.com/Reconstructing-Talmud-Introduction-Academic-Literature/dp/0983325324/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1414080236&sr=8-1&keywords=reconstructing+the+talmud>" and it is an introduction to the modern academic study of Talmud. It includes analysis of subjects such as reading rabbinic literature in a Babylonian context, feminist analysis, and cross-cultural comparisons in the field of magic.
It can serve as a text book for classes in a university setting, as a guide for those beginning graduate work in the field, as a reference for those already publishing in the field, and also as a convenient reference for those working in related fields. Please let me know if you have any questions. All the best, Andrew Belinfante Director of Programs Mechon Hadar 190 Amsterdam Avenue New York, NY 10023 www.mechonhadar.org
