A Talmudic exegesis by the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson. Modified from two siyumim sent by the Rebbe (on tractates Makkot and Yoma), Of Tears and Laughter concentrates on two moving Talmudic stories that occurred in the aftermath of the destruction of the next Beit Hamikdash.With his unique, holistic method of Torah study, the Rebbe explores the positions used by the primary Sages of that time, and examines their lives and teachings. With a limelight on Rabbi Akiva and his response, the Rebbe searches the Talmud for laws and regulations trained by Rabbi Akiva, his life's tale, and allusions to the structure of his very spirit, to give a thorough and insightful reasoning for Rabbi Akiva's optimism. In the ultimate evaluation, the Rebbe offers a breathtaking mosaic of the market leaders of the Jewish people in the post-second Beit Hamikdash time.
