Excerpt from Stories of the Rabbis
These stories are reprinted from the first volume of my book, The Story of the Jewish People. The Rabbis chosen are among the most interesting personalities of the Tannaim who lived in the first two centuries of the present era. I have deemed it desirable to select a few of these men and give some account Of their lives and teaching rather than string together a number of isolated stories of a large number of persons having no relation to each other. I have made selections from a vast mass Of material, and lack of space has made it necessary to exclude much interesting matter.
I hope that the publication Of this book at a popular price will do something to make known to a wider public the characters and teaching of some of the men who kept Judaism alive in days of old, and thus perhaps stimulate an interest in the wider movements of Jewish history through the ages.
