This very interesting text with interfaced perushim on the tractate Yoma is one of a series by the author. As usual in this series, Dr. Harel explains the text according to the direct meaning and does not correct the text to fit the Bavli which unfortunately is typical of most contemporary perushim. Dr. Harel excels in the succinct explanation and he is particularly adept in explaining why a variant text is important. The book begins with the tosephta and relevant portions of the sifra.
Unlike the other tractates in the series, there is an extensive addenda. Of interest was (1) the kiyur of the temple resembled the absolution fountain (sabil) found in many mosques. This explanation explains some very difficult mishaot; (2) a concise summary of the Queen Helena's family's history. and (3) and extensive 140 page analysis of the lost sections of Zevachim which were copied to Jerusalem Yoma. He applies Saul Liberman's principles of (1) speculation not based on text is a rather useless method; and (2) although it is nice that the Bavli agrees with the Yerushalmi, it ain't necessary to destroy the text to prove a point. For anyone who has learned Zevachim with its highly corrupt text, any insight is greatly appreciated. I would have appreciate a more extensive discussion of the early Judeo-Christian debate reflected in Yoma but the volume has a lot of addenda as it is.

ע"ש הר"ר חיים קהן ז"ל
שע"י בת המדרש הגבוה להלכה בהתיישבות
רחוב המלמד 1, ירושלים תשס"ח
עורך: משה יצחק הלוי סגל
ince the Machon published only the second half of Terumot and informed me that no first part is in sight, I used the Monsey Jerusalem Talmud to learn the first half.
1. ירושלמי עם פירוש והערות מהודרת ביהמ"ד
Good solid perush as expected.
2. ירושלמי עם פירוש ר"ש סירויליאו
3. ירושלמי עם פירוש מהר"א פולדא והניר
4. ירושלמי דפוס וילנא מהדורת "מאיר אור"
5. משניות עם פירושי הרמב"ם, ריבמיץ, ר"ש ורא"ש
ר"י בן מלכי צדק is a welcome addition, Correct me if I am wrong but the Rambam is not Kapach but the travesty which in found in the back of the Vilna shas.
6. משניות מסורת הש"ס וילנא החדש
7. לקט סוגיות מן התלמוד בבלי.
Not particularly helpful. Again the tosepta is essential to learning the Yerushalmi but they have no tosepta.

1. תלמוד ירושלמי
Apparently Rav Yosef Eliyashiv is not a big enough gadol for these people and they present the bunched up Mishnaot as they appear in the Vilna Talmud. Extremely annoying.
2. ילקוט תוספת
3. ביאור וחידושי הראשומים
4. קובץ ביאורים
The commentary is good as far as it goes but it is very sporadic and often did not answer what I consider obvious questions. Not as good as ברכת ישראל or בירור הלכה.
5. ילקוט מפרשים
Having dozen of perushim which repeat the same uncritical and sometimes incorrect opinion is not my idea of scholarship. For example, the ludim are not as Rashi brings a people who eat people. Ludim are gladiators. Resh Lakish sold himself to fight in the arena with gludiators. The people of Lyddia did not eat people unless you count the King of Lyddia who served his son up as a meal to the gods (they weren't fooled and only ate his shoulder).
6. תוספתא עם פרוש חסדי דוד, הגהות הגר"א, מנחת ביכורים, עיטור ביכורים, מצפה שמואל, ביאורי הראשונים, מנחת יצחק ועוד.
Excellent tosepta, nicely printed with two excellent commentaries (they address the questions I had) מנחת ביכורים and מנחת יצחק with additional very good compilation called ביאורי הראשונים.

This short mesechet allows Dr. Harel to create a book with several attractive features. These features are a facsimile of the Kaufman manuscript of Mishneh, the Tosephta, a facsimile of the Leiden manuscript of Bikurim and the sections of the Bavli dealing with Bikurim, which has concise but very informative notes of how the text of the Yerusalmi is presented in the Bavli. I particularly liked having the Leiden manuscript as one can follow along and see what people mean when they say a margin note, word not clear, etc. (I find using the ms online available from JNUL too bulky for daily use.) The text of Bikurim is fairly straightforward so there are not many new insights into the text other than deciding which sentences should be filled out using other Yerushami and other sources.

This very interesting text with interfaced perushim on the tractate Beiza is one of a series by the author. Dr. Harel excels in the succinct explanation and he is particularly adept in explaining why a variant text is important. The book has several addenda like a list of the Tanaim cited, the number of citations and the city of activity. There is an extensive analysis of the parallel texts in Beiza and the affinity between the Tosephta, Bavli and Yerushalmi. This is the most complete explanation of methodology for determining text in Yerushalmi I have seen. Although there is a facsimile of the Tosephta, a clear text of the Tosephta needed for studying Yerushalmi is lacking. However, in other tractates in the series, a clearly printed of the Tosephta is provided.

This is delightful book for anyone acquainted with Yerushalmi studies. The book consists of 61 aphorisms from the Tractate Peah. Each phrase merits a separate independent discussion and the chapters can be read at intervals. This makes it very useful for part of a learning schedule like reading one a day. The author shows an amazing talent in that the discussion of each aphorism presents a fresh take on the topic. The text is readably understandable even to those lacking a classical or yeshiva education. The informative footnotes do require a level of erudition and some of the popular references to Israeli songs and poems eluded me. I am not sure if one should learn the book before or after learning the Tractate Peah. However, I do think knowing Mishnaot Peah would however enable maximum enjoyment of the book. The book is remarkably devoid of typographic or source errors.
