The Wisdom of Israel by Edwin Collins

Description

The Wisdom of Israel is a book by Edwin Collins, first published in 1910. It presents a concise anthology of parables, sayings, and moral insights drawn from the Babylonian Talmud and Midrash Rabboth, translated directly from Aramaic and Hebrew. Collins, part of the early 20th-century Wisdom of the East series, carefully credits sources and offers faithful renderings, making Jewish ethical and spiritual traditions accessible to Western readers. Its celebration of agadic wisdom — as symbolic, interpretive lore rather than legal rulings — offers a window into Jewish culture and religious thought, promoting interfaith understanding and highlighting the enduring relevance of these ancient teachings.
