Rabbi Doron-Spalter spent many years compiling this summarized translation so that every Jew could read the Talmudic topics with understanding.  A survivor of the Holocaust, Rabbi Doron-Spalter learned in Schneider’s Yeshiva in Britain, and then spent several years in Kibbutz Lavi and the IDF, followed by Hebrew University in Jerusalem.  He migrated for some time to the USA, graduated his PhD at New York University, and served as Professor of Jewish Studies in City University of New York.  After he retired, he returned to Israel, and now lives in Jerusalem once more.
