The Reporter
"Can be quite useful for the popularization of Talmudic research among American undergraduates. . . . Rosenblum’s clear voice and deft presentation will serve students."
Journal for the Study of Judaism
"[Rosenblum] writes in very engaging manner, mixing erudite terms with a personal, and lighthearted, voice. . . . Hopefully, this initial sip will leave a lasting aftertaste."
