Excerpt: ... of Hezekiah since the reason of R. Simon b. Gamaliel is the principle of Hezekiah: "so that the slave should not go and deliver himself up to the enemy." Raba replies, etc., (Gittin. 376). What one least expects to find in a Talmudist is historic veracity. Yet it is not lacking in Eashi, either because he was guided by ancient and authentic traditions, or because he was inspired by his clear-sightedness, or--but this is apt to have been the case less frequently--because he was well served by his power of divination.

Because it contains all these data, Eashis commentary is still a very valuable historical document, and Jewish historians of our days continue frequently to invoke its authority. Yet in spite of this scattered information, the commentary is marked by certain deficiencies which indicate a deficiency in his mental make-up.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over 100,000 Copies Sold! Organizing books fall short of addressing the unique needs of adults with ADD.

This is a book that has ADD-Friendly advice with the ADDer in mind. This collaboration brings forth the best underlying understanding with the most effective and practical remedy from ADD experts in two important fields -- professional organization and clinical psychology. Finally, it offers organizing advice that ranges from self-help to utilizing the help of non-professionals, to using professional assistance.
