	Amora at AllExperts
		The last Amoraim are generally considered to be Ravina I and Rav Ashi, and Ravina II, nephew of Ravina I, who codified the Babylonian Talmud around 500 CE.
		In the Talmud itself, the singular amora generally refers to a lecturer's assistant: the lecturer would state his points briefly, and the amora would then repeat them aloud for the public's benefit, adding translation and clarification where needed.

		The primary commentary on the Babylonian Talmud is that of Rashi (Rabbi Solomon ben Isaac, 1040-1105).
		The Talmud was likewise the subject of a disputation at Barcelona in 1263 between Nahmanides (Rabbi Moses ben Nahman) and Pablo Christiani.
		The Censorship of the Talmud and other Hebrew works was introduced by a papal bull issued in 1554; five years later the Talmud was included in the first Index Expurgatorius; and Pope Pius IV commanded, in 1565, that the Talmud be deprived of its very name.

		That is why the general rule is laid down in the Talmud that in his disputes with his great contemporary, friend and Torah adversary, Rav, the halachah is according to the opinion of Rav in ritual matters and according to the opinion of Shmuel in monetary matters.
		Shmuel is also referred to occasionally as “Shvor Malka,” which is the Aramaic form of the name of the Persian king, Shapur, with whom Shmuel was quite friendly.
		Shmuel ruled that a robber who’d stolen a beam and built it into his palace, if he wished to repent and fulfill the Command of the Torah to return the stolen object, he must dismantle his entire palace and retrieve the stolen beam.

	Shmuel Chapter 15 part 2
		Shmuel responds sharply and somewhat poetically, almost as if this were a moment of prophecy in the technical sense (these books are generally prose, so when a prophet bursts out with more rhythmic speech, it stands out).
		Shmuel kills him, preceding the event with an almost formulaic recitation—as Agag’s sword had left many women widows, so too would his mother now be without her child.
		Shmuel is showing us that, at least in the case of Amalek, God’s desire to have them removed from the earth makes their killing a sacred task.

	Judaism: Shmuel HaKatan and the political background to Avot 4:19
		The talmudic sages were all fond of quoting Scripture; but, quite apart from that predilection, the support of a biblical prooftext was clearly the strongest possible corroboration they could muster for any oral tradition they were transmitting, or indeed for any original personal viewpoint they were offering in the sphere of Halakhah or Aggadah.
		Shmuel was one of the second generation of Tannaim, who served under the Patriarch, Gamaliel II of Yavneh, during the last two decades of the first century C.E. Surprisingly, there is not a single halakhic statement recorded in his name, and even his aggadic expositions are few.
		From one particular Talmudic report we may infer that Shmuel HaKatan was particularly preoccupied with the devastation wreaked by the Romans, and especially by their treatment of the religious leaders of Judaea.

		Shmuel David Yarmovsky may be related to other Yarmovsky's that came from the area of Lida and Dyatlovo (previously known as Zdzieciol or Zhetl) or from Bialystok.
		Shmuel David named his first child Hillel (born in 1866 when Shmuel David was 26) thus making it likely that Shmuel David's father was not living at the time.
		Icko Ber was certainly a relative of Shmuel David's and possibly was a brother.

	Ideal Occupations: The View from the Talmud
		His advice (Babylonian Talmud, Eruchin 16b) is that one should consider the profession of his father and ancestors in choosing an occupation since one is most likely to find success in the same occupation as his father.
		The Talmud (Babylonian Talmud, Bava Bathra 110a) asserts that a person should even hire himself out to do work that is strange to him and beneath his dignity rather than be dependent on people for charity.
		Shmuel and his father were known to buy and subsequently sell produce in such a manner as to keep the market price stable and low throughout the year and were praised for this by the Talmud (Bava Bathra 90b).

	Divrei Mordechai - Parashat Mattot 5761
		The Talmud answers with an unbelievable idea: it is not that another man will physically take the woman, but rather that he will pray to Hashem that he will be able to marry her.
		Shmuel allowed a couple to be betrothed on Chol HaMoed in order to prevent someone else's prayer from rearranging their plans.
		From these pieces of Talmud we even see that prayer can be used for the benefit of one person even if it is to the detriment of another: a person can lose their beshert to another's prayer.

		Instead of informing the merchant of his error, the Gemara relates, Shmuel went ahead and made the purchase at the price of 4 zuz, which was set on the mistaken assumption that the vessel was one of copper.
		Shmuel realized that before he pointed out to the merchant his error, he must first ascertain the answer to this question.
		But if he failed to point out Shmuel's error, and slyly pocketed the windfall, then he was surely a dishonest man, and the vessel too had come to him through unscrupulous means.

		Moshe Shmuel believed that the Oral Law was supposed to develop along with the Jewish people as they, guided by their sages, strove ever to improve and perfect their personal and national characters.

		Moshe Shmuel Glasner was born in Pressburg in 1856.
		However, R. Moshe Shmuel concedes that the opinion of Ran seems to be supported by a Mishnah in Shabbat that states that one may not extinguish a fire on the Sabbath to prevent a house from burning down or even take possessions from the house into a public domain.
		For example, the Talmud in Shabbat 107b rules that it is permissible to kill maggots despite a general prohibition against killing living creatures on the Sabbath, because the Talmud presumed that maggots are spontaneously generated and not conceived through a procreative act.

	Beacons on the Talmud's Sea: What Is Dearest To G-d?
		According to Shmuel, by contrast, the person has followed the Torah's commandments, for first and foremost, the Torah teaches us "to live through them." Thus, as will be explained, violating the Shabbos laws in such an instance can be considered as observance of the Shabbos.
		According to Shmuel, the violation of the Shabbos laws is not merely permitted; in this situation, it is the way the Shabbos must be observed.
		The commentaries explain that the Rambam's source is the Jerusalem Talmud (Yoma 8:5) which states that a person who asks whether the Shabbos laws should be broken is a murderer, while one who acts with haste is to be praised.

		The Talmud says that in certain respects, Shmuel is as great in his generation as Moshe and Aharon (Moses and Aaron) were in their generation.
		Shmuel’s children are not fit to assume the office and there is no one else of his caliber to replace him.
		Ironically, because Shmuel has done such an outstanding job in securing the land and because he was irreplaceable, the leadership asks Shmuel to appoint a king in his place.

		In the meantime, Shmuel spied a former colleague, Levi, who was sitting at a distance from the other dead spirits.
		Not only had Shmuel's father not pilfered the orphans' money, he had gone to great lengths to protect their interests, putting his own funds in danger in favor of the safety of the monies of his charges.
		Yet Shmuel's father serves as a most powerful paradigm: Custodians of public funds must be extremely concerned with civic well-being, perhaps even at the expense of their own personal financial security.

	Jewish Law - Articles - Should Moral Individuals Ever Lie? Insights from Jewish Law
		There, however, the Talmud notes that the School of Hillel connects the proscription (Exodus 23:7) of "Distance yourself from a false matter" with the end of the verse that states "And the innocent and righteous do not slay." The verse, therefore, is speaking of testifying falsely and thereby causing an innocent person to be executed.
		The Talmud answers: That from the beginning he revealed to her that his oath was not binding [and that he wanted to help the public].
		The Talmud first discusses the dispute between the Schools of Shammai and Hillel as to which blessing is made first when one is given oil and myrtle at the end of a meal (fragrant oil was used to clean off the food odors and the myrtle was smelled for its pleasant scent).

		Yonah Fraenkel is very likely correct that the purpose of many Talmudic stories is not to advance a particular school's agenda or to promote the teachings of a particular master, but to teach a moral lesson, to make a statement about the nature of the world, or God, or the human predicament.
		While Mar Shmuel himself is not directly criticized, he bears responsibility for the actions of his servants, and criticism of the servants is certainly criticism of the master.
		The Talmudic record is unambiguous in portraying opposition between Rava on the one hand, and Huna bar Hinena and Huna b.

	History of Halacha
		Never did the sages of the Talmud, and certainly not the sages of the Mishnah, teach anything, however trivial, of their own invention, except for the enactments which were made by universal agreement in order to make a hedge around the Torah.
		The Mishnah's and Talmud's authority is thus founded on the historically contingent fact of acceptance, a ground for authority that was rejected by later adherents to the geonic approach.
		Among the interesting talmudic material Bakhrakh uses are not only the actual controversies that exist throughout the Talmud on 'halakhot le-Moshe me-Sinai', but aggadic material as well that attests to the pervasiveness of forgetfulness.

		Thus the Jerusalem Talmud (referred to as "the Jerusalemite Discourse") appears "crippled" and fossilized in comparison to the Babylonian Talmud, which is composed in a flowing dialectic style.
		Because the Jerusalem Talmud lacked the continuity of the Babylonian Talmud, the Geonim in Babylon considered their Talmud to be the exclusive carrier of Jewish tradition.

		The Talmud (Sotah 44b) cites the opening verse of this chapter as part of its proof that fleeing is the first step in getting killed in war, meaning that flight is itself a contributing factor to loss of life, not just a symptom of a heavy military defeat.
		Taking the Talmud’s reading at face value, the opening verse of our chapter means to say that the Jews were psychologically outmatched in the present battle at least as much as physically.
		Interestingly, the Talmud (Sotah, 10a) includes Shaul in a group of five people who had a particular physical characteristic of extraordinary beauty—the Talmudic phrase is that five had a body part that was created according to the form in Heaven.

		The Talmud appears to deem authorship important as it reports that Shimon HaPekuli arranged the order of 18 blessings that give the amida its synonomous title - the shemoneh esrei (the 18) (B. Berakhot 28b).
		The Talmud relates: Shmuel HaKatan (the lesser) arose and authored this, the nineteenth blessing of the amida.
		Rabbi Kook continues explaining that it is for this reason that Shmuel HaKatan was truly suited to compose this portion of the amida decrying the heretics.

		Shmuel's reason is accepted as authoritative and is the one most familiar to the average Jew.
		As we have already explained, Shmuel's answer, which is accepted by this Talmudic passage as final, is explained by Tosafot as presuming that one may violate Shabbat in order to facilitate future observance of Shabbat.
		Given that, when the Talmud in Shabbat (151b) cites R. Shimon ben Menasia’s logic of “Violate one Shabbat for him so that he may observe many future Shabbatot” it is not siding with R. Shimon ben Menasia in the argument over the derivation of this rule.

		The Talmud is a difficult book, and many commentators have worked to explain and illuminate it.
		Rashi, the most famous of the commentators to the Talmud, explains and translates the talmudic dialogue while, for the most part, refraining from subjecting the text to analysis or comparison to parallel texts in other tractates.
		The Tosafot [text] printed alongside most of the tractates of the Talmud in the Vilna edition is referred to as Tosafot Tuch (Touques), after the French city where the commentary was edited. Other editions of the Tosafot were prepared elsewhere and are sometimes included in the Talmud under the title Tosafot Yeshanim.
