Israeli scholar completes translation of Talmud

After 45 years of 16-hour work days, an Israeli scholar has finally completed his life's work - a translation of the entire Talmud, one of Judaism's most important texts, to make it accessible to ordinary people.

Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz began his translation and commentary on the Talmud in 1965. This week he is publishing the last book of his 46-volume series. (AP)
