Born in London in 1950, Freedman is described by his publisher Bloomsbury [1] as Britain's leading author of popular works of Jewish culture and history.
The book explores the history of the system of Jewish mysticism known as Kabbalah from its earliest origins to the present day.
In the book he asserts that the Talmud is a classic of world literature and that its story is an account of one of the most important cultural, historical and religious works of our time.
Published only as an e-book, it tells the story of Levi, a young priest in Roman-occupied Jerusalem, who is captured and sent to Rome as a slave.
He claims that even if there are fewer jobs in your particular industry, the chances of getting back to work quickly in another field are still high even in this new recruiting atmosphere.
