    The Wall Street Journal: "There is humor and heartbreak in these pages...Ms. Kurshan immerses herself in the demands of daily Talmud study and allows the words of ancient scholars to transform the patterns of her own life."

    The Jewish Standard: "Brilliant, beautifully written, sensitive, original."

    The Jerusalem Post: "A beautiful and inspiring book. Both religious and secular readers will find themselves immensely moved by [Kurshan's] personal story."

    American Jewish World: "So engrossing I hardly could put it down."

    At the age of twenty-seven, alone in Jerusalem in the wake of a painful divorce,Ilana Kurshan joined the world's largest book club, learning daf yomi, Hebrew for"daily page" of the Talmud, a book of rabbinic teachings spanning about six hundredyears. Her story is a tale of heartache and humor, of love and loss, of marriageand motherhood, and of learning to put one foot in front of the other by turningpage after page. Kurshan takes us on a deeply accessible and personal guided tourof the Talmud. For people of the book-both Jewish and non-Jewish-If All theSeas Were Ink is a celebration of learning, through literature, how to fall in loveonce again.
