The new edition of the Steinsaltz Talmud in French aims, like the previous one, to give everyone, regardless of their level, access to the Talmudic text – originally written without punctuation or vowels, in a concise style, in a mixture of Hebrew and Aramaic, a language little known to most readers.

In the second half of the ^20th century, Rabbi Steinsaltz, of blessed memory, pioneered the work of publishing a punctuated and vocalized edition in Hebrew, and later in other languages. This edition presents the correspondence of each word of the Talmud in bold, with explanations added in regular type, essential for understanding each sentence and following the Gemara step by step.

In this edition, the text of the Talmud is divided into paragraphs, translated as they appear. It includes numerous studies and halakha taken from the Steinsaltz edition in Hebrew, summarizing the main commentaries and the conclusions of the decisors on each topic addressed. It is enriched new illustrations.

At the end of each book, it includes the original text of the treatise according to the classical Vilna edition, with the commentary of Rashi – which, here, is punctuated and vocalized – and that of the Tosafot, also punctuated.

We hope that this publication will achieve the goal that Rav Steinsaltz zal sought throughout his life: to enable every Jew to know and appreciate his ancestral heritage in order to strengthen the love of the Torah among the people.

Yebamot II

Yebamot is the first tractate of the Talmudic Collection entitled Nashim, "Women." Some believe that Yebamot actually follows the tractate Gittin, which deals with divorce, but this is not generally accepted. Yebamot primarily deals with the laws of levirate marriage, but it also addresses and examines many halakhot (Jewish laws) of marriage in general.

Many other situations are discussed at length in Yebamot, and sometimes solely or almost solely in Yebamot. This is the case with certain specifics of forbidden relationships, circumstances requiring separation of the couple, and also certain laws relating to proselytes and their conversion to Judaism. Some of these laws, moreover, run throughout the Talmudic collection "Women," up to the last tractate, Kiddushin.
