More on Artscroll Sale

Not to be repetitive and redundant, or to say the same thing twice and then say it again, our fiduciary responsibilities as your Jewish book mavens would be unfulfilled if we didn't emphasize that, if you're thinking of buying anything from Artscroll, now is the time.

So, click here to see Artscroll Talmuds, and here to see other Artscroll seforim, or here to go straight to Artscroll. Nu, do it today.

There, we feel much better.

Shavuot books at jewishbookmall.com

Here are some kids' and adults' Shavuot books: Shavuot books. Of course, Shavuos is zman matan Torah, the time when we commemorate the Giving of the Torah on Mt. Sinai to Moses...so you may also want to check out our Torah, Bible, Chumash, Tanach, etc. collection as well.

Jewish Posters

Our Jewish Posters page has what we think may be one of the largest collections of Jewish and Israeli posters in one place. (We've gathered them from several different sources, each of which has some unique items.) You can find anything from Marc Chagall to old Zionist posters to one called Yiddish Cowboy and a Yiddish Eye Chart. Nope, we're not making this up...

Many are available not only as posters, but also as art prints and photos.

Artscroll Talmud / Schottenstein Gemara

Our Artscroll Talmud / Schottenstein Gemara page has just been redone. It now includes the entire set and lists both the full-size and daf yomi editions for each tractate.

We also added more explanation of the Artscroll Talmud page layout, and how the facing English and Hebrew pages work together.

Rashi's Daughters, Book 1: Joheved - on the Jewish Book Mall "to review" list...

We're reading Rashi's Daughters, Book 1: Joheved with the hope of posting an official Jewish Book Mall review soon.

Artscroll Talmud

Especially now that the new daf yomi cycle of daily Talmud study has begun, there's a lot of interest in the Artscroll Talmud, aka the Schottenstein edition. It has a running translation and commentary similar to Steinsaltz, but with each Hebrew/Aramaic phrase also included before the translation. Nice for daf yomi, where you want to cover ground quickly but also want to feel like you're still doing the sugya not entirely in English.

Kosher Cookbooks

Hmm. Maybe that should be kosher kookbooks? Whatever.

Many delightful kosher cookbooks and books about keeping kosher here: Kosher Foods. You can find titles such as Kosher by Design, Let My People Eat (and other Passover cookbooks) How to Keep Kosher, and The Foods of Israel Today (we've got that at home, yum).

Jewish Bestsellers

Announcing the regularly updated Jewish Bestsellers list: Jewish Bestsellers. These are the top 50 books of Jewish content at Amazon. Of course, you can also see way beyond the top 50 bestselling Jewish books. Peruse to your heart's desire...

Soncino Talmud

Another helpful Talmud edition is Soncino, which has an English translation on the facing page with the Hebrew/Aramaic original. And the CD-ROM version allows you to open up windows for each, plus Rashi, and when you scroll in one, the others move along with you. Cool, eh? See our Soncino Talmud page: Soncino Talmud.

Steinsaltz Talmud

The Steinsaltz Talmud in English is out of print. Beautiful, wonderful - but out of print. So some volumes, especially the later ones, are getting hard to find.

The Steinsaltz Talmud in Hebrew is also a little hard to find in the US.

But fear not. Our Steinsaltz Talmud page - Steinsaltz Talmud - gathers them in one convenient place, with links to where you can purchase them. Enjoy your learning!
