The Legends of the Jews, Volume 1
Louis GINZBERG (1873 - 1953), translated by Henrietta SZOLD (1860 - 1945) Rabbi
Louis Ginzberg was one of the outstanding Talmudists of the twentieth
century. He was born on November 28, 1873, in Kovno, Lithuania; he died
on November 11, 1953, in New York City. Ginzberg taught at the Jewish
Theological seminary from 1903 to 1953. For 50 years, he trained two
generations of Conservative Rabbis.
The Legends of the Jews is an
epic 7-volume compilation of traditional Jewish stories loosely related
to the Bible. Over the millenia, these stories, which expand on the
Bible, flesh out the lives of biblical figures. In the process, they
help bring to life the Bible's valuable lessons.
The Legends of
the Jews has been called a monumental work of scholarship. It is studied
by serious students of both Judaism and Christianity. And yet the
stories continue to be accessible and understood by all. They were
designed to impart lessons of the Torah, and any child or adult will
find much to enjoy about this work. (Summary by Scott Sherris and
