About this product
Product Information
Ruth Calderon has recently electrified the Jewish world with her teachings of talmudic texts. In this volume she offers a fascinating window into some of the liveliest and most colourful stories in the Talmud. Calderon rewrites talmudic tales as richly imagined fictions, drawing us into the lives of such characters as the woman who risks her life for a sister suspected of adultery; a humble schoolteacher who rescues his village from drought; and a wife who dresses as a prostitute to seduce her pious husband in their garden.

Reviews
"Calderon's work offers seventeen gates to a richness of heart-in-mind-and, as the Talmud points out, the Holy Blessed One demands the heart."--Daniel Rosenberg, H-Judaic, "A welcome step in encouraging Jews of all stripes to engage with texts that hold values we wish to live by, and to find those values there."-Beth Kissileff, Tablet Magazine, "Calderon's retelling of tales of the Talmud will be healing for those who have felt pushed to the Talmud's margins and exciting for those who have loved the Talmud's gift for a good story."--Rabbi Jill Hammer, author of Sisters at Sinai and The Jewish Book of Days "A Bride for One Night is a treasure and made me eager to study more Talmud."--Edgar M. Bronfman, president of the Samuel Bronfman Foundation, " A Bride for One Night is a treasure and made me eager to study more Talmud."-Edgar M. Bronfman, president of the Samuel Bronfman Foundation, "Calderon's retelling of tales of the Talmud will be healing for those who have felt pushed to the Talmud's margins and exciting for those who have loved the Talmud's gift for a good story."--Rabbi Jill Hammer, author of Sisters at Sinai and The Jewish Book of Days, "Calderon's retelling of tales of the Talmud will be healing for those who have felt pushed to the Talmud's margins and exciting for those who have loved the Talmud's gift for a good story."-Rabbi Jill Hammer, author of Sisters at Sinai and The Jewish Book of Days, "Calderon's interpretation of classic Talmudic literature is like a breath of fresh spring air clearing out the cobwebs and is sure to be enjoyed by scholars and anyone interested in learning more about the rich Jewish heritage."-Sandy Amazeen, Monsters & Critics, " A Bride for One Night � is a book that lovers of Talmud must buy."--Jay Michaelson, Jewish Daily Forward, " A Bride for One Night highlights Ruth Calderon's remarkable skill in bridging the cultural gap between the rabbis and contemporary readers and the significant contribution she has made to demonstrating the relevance of rabbinic legends in the 21st century."--David C. Jacobson, Jewish Review of Books, "Calderon's retelling of tales of the Talmud will be healing for those who have felt pushed to the Talmud's margins and exciting for those who have loved the Talmud's gift for a good story."-Rabbi Jill Hammer, author of Sisters at Sinai and The Jewish Book of Days , "Calderon has indeed realized her goal to teach and to promulgate the creative cultural traditions of the Talmud."- CJ magazine, "Dr. Calderon's A Bride for One Night takes seventeen short sugyot (sections) of Talmudic texts, translates them and comments on them from the standpoint of a teacher and scholar. What makes this book so useful to a beginner, is that Calderon then writes an imaginative retelling of the text, a reflection that gets at the subtext of the tale and the issues that are driving it. One could not ask for a better introduction to Talmud study."--Beth Kissileff, Wisdom Daily, " A Bride for One Night is a treasure and made me eager to study more Talmud."--Edgar M. Bronfman, president of the Samuel Bronfman Foundation
