Shulamis Frieman received her teacher's degree from Beth Jacob of Jerusalem and graduated summa cum laude from Touro College. She has been involved in a number of writing and research projects for Jason Aronson Inc. and various journals. Her present volume on the great sages of the Talmud was inspired by her upbringing as the daughter of a community rabbi; her earliest memories are set in a home containing an extensive library of the holy books of the Talmud and its vast commentaries, including novellas on the Talmud written by her own illustrious forebears. The author and her husband, Rabbi Gil Frieman, currently live in Brooklyn, New York, where she is pursuing a career in psychology and assisting her husband in teaching and outreach to benefit the Jewish community.
