Talmud: A Film by Pierre-Henry Salfati DVD

French documentary filmmaker Pierre-Henri Salfati examines one of the Jewish worlds most sacred texts. The second part of the Torah (the Old Testament), founded on the principles of tradition and oral transmission, the Talmud represents its hidden face. No other text has had a comparable influence, whether theoretical or practical, on Jewish life, moulding its spiritual content and offering a guide for conduct. Setting out to retrace the history of the Talmud from its genesis to the present day, this film offers a rare insight into what has become a repository of millennia of Jewish wisdom.
