In this volume, her first to appear in English, she offers a fascinating window into some of the liveliest and most colorful stories in the Talmud. Calderon rewrites talmudic tales as richly imagined fictions, drawing us into the lives of such characters as the woman who risks her life for a sister suspected of adultery; a humble schoolteacher who rescues his village from drought; and a wife who dresses as a prostitute to seduce her pious husband in their garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"JEWISH PUBLICATON SOCIETY","offers":[{"title":"Bride for One Night: Talmud Tales | Ruth Calderon | Paperback | 9780827612099 | Used: Very Good | Religion \u0026 Spirituality 1755593 (temp: 7)","offer_id":49120093372568,"sku":"1755593","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/91aTwk_-GHL.jpg?v=1779058884","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/bride-for-one-night-talmud-tales","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
