After hours of careful thought, the Yeshiva administration posted a hand-lettered sign outside the cafeteria door.

THE YESHIVA PROVIDES FOOD
FOR ONE PORTION ONLY
NO STUDENT IS PERMITTED
TO STAND IN LINE
FOR SECOND PORTION

By the time I finished lunch, I noticed that some student had altered the sign in a subtle, Talmudic manner:

THE YESHIVA PROVIDES FOOD
FOR ONE PORTION ONLY?
NO! STUDENT IS PERMITTED
TO STAND IN LINE
FOR SECOND PORTION.

The Sea of Talmud is a brief introduction to the Talmud, viewed from the perspective of a newcomer to the world of the Yeshiva. Intended for readers with little background to the historical development of the Talmud and its relevance for Jewish observance, The Sea of Talmud hopes to inspire readers with the beauty and glory of traditional Yeshiva study.
