From Aug. 29, 2012 to Jan. 4, 2020, literary critic Adam Kirsch read a page a day of Talmud, along with Jews around the world, completing the 13th cycle of Daf Yomi. Over that span, his columns analyzing the text appeared weekly and biweekly in Tablet. Here, in one place, is all 288 of those pieces: insightful, erudite, and very different from the kind of religious commentary that most readers of the Talmud engage in.In addition, twice over the years, Kirsch talked about the experience: first in 2013, just starting out, when he sat down with Jonathan Rosen, author of The Talmud and the Internet:and again in 2019, nearing completion, with the hosts of Unorthodox, Tablet’s podcast:His final column, wrapping up what he learned, is here.Full list of Adam Kirsch's Daf Yomi columns:
