The author connects her personal stories with Talmud tractates. She is certainly a brilliant scholar and accomplished writer but this book is neither a memoir nor a book about the Talmud. Often superficial, a bit dull. An unpopular opinion but this book was not for me.

Is there anything better than #bookmail and #pjlibrary?! Especially when it‘s a book for me?
After several weeks I've finally finished this deeply profound memoir. Ilana Kurshan is brilliant; a true scholar and lover of literature, language and learning. I was often overwhelmed by her prose and train of thought as her mind works at a much higher level than mine🙄If your interested in an introspective memoir from a genuine humble genius; read this. PS: Author will be at #JCoB on March 11, NYC 🤗❤️

#TBRtemptation post 2! Just released. Ilana has written a memoir about learning through literature. She discusses her professional, spiritual, and personal growth while studying the Talmud. She doesn't aim to convert, only to explain the intellectual aspects of a faith. She takes us through the daf yomi, the world's largest book club, devoted to studying the Talmud over a 7-year period. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
