Four years ago, it spread to the Hebrew-speaking world. Now it is coming to  French-speaking Jews. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThat revolution is an elucidation of the Talmud that not only translates, but  explains the often complex train of thought. In addition, the editors provide  copious notes that further explain the reasoning and point the reader to a rich  lode of source material. Tens of thousands of people in the English- and  Hebrew-speaking worlds have been able to engage in Talmud study - many for the  first time in their lives - thanks to these volumes. The writers and editors  have achieved the difficult feat of providing books that are not only popular  with sophisticated phrase in this context than lay people, but are widely used  by accomplished scholars, as aids in teaching and their own study.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDuring a recent visit to Paris with regard to the French Edition, Rabbis Meir  Zlotowitz and Nosson Scherman were shown a broad, open plaza only a few minutes  drive from where the new edition is being written. In that plaza, in the 13th  century, twenty-four wagonloads of the Talmud - every volume hand-written - were  burned. That day still lives in infamy. And now, just a few miles away, those  twenty-four wagonloads are being replaced and, as time goes by, will be  increased exponentially! \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky z.t.l., one of the early spiritual supporters and  guiding lights of the ArtScroll Series, related that in the early 1880's, Rabbi  Yisroel Salanter z.t.l wanted to commission a French translation of the Talmud,  believing that it could bring countless Jews closer to Judaism. His declining  health did not permit him to carry out his plan, but more than a century later,  it is now happening.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis volume of the forthcoming 73-volume French edition is dedicated  by Mme. Lily Safra, in memory of her late husband, Edmond J. Safra, the  international banking titan. Safra was the owner of the Republic National Bank  in the United States and had major interests in other banks in several  countries, until his retirement. He was a legendary philanthropist, who placed  major emphasis on traditional Jewish educational and communal causes. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe French edition is edited by Rabbi Aaron Marciano, a highly regarded  Parisian scholar and teacher. The new project is warmly endorsed by the popular  and charismatic Chief Rabbi of France, Rabbi Joseph Sitruk, who lauds it as an  important contribution to Jewish life, and especially to adult education. The  Chief Rabbi graciously signified his intention to recommend the new Talmud and  eventually to incorporate it into his own extensive classes and lectures. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe trailblazing English-language Schottenstein Edition was dedicated by the  late Jerome Schottenstein and his wife Geraldine. Mr. Schottenstein was a  legendary department store magnate and philanthropist. His support of the Talmud  was continued by Mrs. Schottenstein and their children, Jay and Jeanie  Schottenstein, Ann and Ari Deshe, Susan and Jon Diamond, and Lori Schottenstein.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Hebrew edition was dedicated by Jay and Jeanie Schottenstein. It has  become enormously popular even in Israel, where it is seen and used virtually  everywhere. As a result, the Schottenstein name has become synonymous with  visionary philanthropy and especially with the resurgence of Talmud study around  the world. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDuring his recent visit to Paris, Rabbi Meir Zlotowitz, president of  ArtScroll\/Mesorah, said, \"The surging interest in Jewish knowledge in the  French-speaking world has been an inspiring surprise. We are hopeful that the  success of our work in English and French will be duplicated in French, thanks  to the generosity of Mme. Safra, the support of Rabbi Sitruk, and the skill of  Rabbi Marciano and his team. We are ready to do whatever it takes to make the  French edition as successful as the English and Hebrew.\" \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe scholarship of the Talmud is funded by the not-for-profit Mesorah  Heritage Foundation. \"Indeed,\" said Zlotowitz, \"a work of this magnitude is  possible only with broad private support. The marketplace can no more sustain  such scholarship than tuitions can sustain great yeshivos. Mrs. Safra is leading  the way. We are sure her example will inspire others.\" \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe new French edition - the second of 73 volumes - is Makkos. According to  David Morgan, of J. Lehmann Ltd, the European distributors of the Talmud. \"It is  clear that this is more a public service than a business proposition. You'll  have a hard time finding a better value anywhere. We have seen it transform  Jewish life in England. We expect the same thing to happen in France and other  French-speaking communities.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eToo optimistic? Not if you trace the history of the Schottenstein Editions so  far. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Artscroll \/ Mesorah","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47695139537171,"sku":"124781","price":41.37,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/6554\/4467\/products\/ftbm1.jpg?v=1701132955"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.lehmanns.co.uk\/collections\/francais-talmud-makot.oembed","provider":"Lehmanns B2C","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
