The Tannaim
The Amoraim
These are the books that I am hanging on to currently.
There are other breakdowns of the tradition and important later works, many which I use.
But from “In the beginning” (בראשית) my journey is forward, and from today, my journey is backwards and when the two will meet, I will become complete. But a hundred years will be barely enough time at my current rate of progress.
