This edition of Treatise ta'anit is a facsimile reissue in paperback of the original 1928 edition, published by JPS in the series, the Schiff Library of Jewish Classics. The present volume is part of the ongoing effort to make the Schiff texts available to a new generation of readers and students. Treatise Ta'anit, a precious gem of talmudic literature, is an invaluable source of Jewish history, folklore, and liturgy. It includes minute descriptions of the institution of public facts on occasions of national calamities, and of the congregational service connected therewith; detailed information about the origin of the division of Priests, Levites, and lay Israelites; and historical and legendary data relating to the destruction of the first and second Temples. There is, furthermore, no other treatise in the Talmud that contains such a collection of legends about the lives and doings of pios Israelites of the past. The uniqueness of Treatise Ta'anit is singularly heightened by the clarity and scholarship that characterize its presentation in this edition.
