Ein Yaakov (“Well of Jacob”‎) is a multivolume compilation of stories, parables, and biblical interpretation from the Babylonian Talmud printed together with commentaries. Rabbi Yaakov ibn Habib began compiling and editing it in the early 16th century in the wake of the expulsion of Jews from Spain. After his death, his son, Rabbi Levi ibn Habib completed the work. With its accessible content and style, the Ein Yaakov has enjoyed wide appeal for centuries among both scholars and laymen and has been printed in over 30 editions This edition was first published in Chicago in 1921 by Rabbi Shmuel Tzvi-Hirsch Glick. It includes Rabbi Glick's translation and footnotes but doesn't include the commentaries that appear in the classic version. The release and digitization of this book were kindly sponsored by Fred and Joyce Claar.
