Question

Hello and blessings!
In the books Two Heifers and Man Is Like Grass I saw discussions of Talmudic topics.
I wanted to ask whether you have a book that deals exclusively with the Talmudic topics themselves—for example, monetary law, the laws of established possession, and the like.
Thank you very much.
At this opportunity I also want to thank you for the many, many kindnesses I have received from you, though you are entirely unaware of them. And it is a well-known halakhic principle that one who receives a gift from another should inform him.
Of course I do not agree with everything, but without a doubt these things opened a window for me, and put at my disposal words and tools for analysis. They did not pave a road for me, because then I would only walk on it and there would be no value in that; rather, they illuminated very dark and deep places, into which I entered and came away impressed by the power of human thought.
It began at a young age in yeshiva and continues to this day as a “young kollel fellow.”
A kind of reviving dew for concepts—oil that lubricates the systems of thought and gives a great deal of room for a person’s own independent thinking. Thank you very much. Jacob.

Answer

With pleasure.
There are three books that deal with the principles of Talmudic thought: On the Path of the Commandments, In the Shadow of Wisdom, and To Perform Your Commandments. There are another four books, Good Measure, which deal with applications of the interpretive principles in the order of the weekly Torah portions.
They can be obtained from me, or you can arrange it with my son (details on the site).
