How much time should it take to pray? Is one allowed to argue with God? Who can give a blessing? And what is worth crying for? In this page-by-page companion to Berakhot, the first tractate of the Talmud, popular teacher and community leader Rabbi Levi Cooper explores the wisdom of the Jewish sages, transforming their ancient teachings into lessons for everyday life.
