A breathtaking epic in three parts, probably even longer than the Lord of the Rings.
Part 1 (or Helek Rishon) The Tannaim, followed by The Amoraim, and part three, Return of the Amoraim.
Featuring all your favourite characters - the memorable scene between R. Jochanan and Reish Lakish! Reish Lakish as an obnoxious baal teshuva! The woman with breasts she could throw over her shoulder! The rousing crowd scene when they're cutting the omer (the rabbis go "Is it sunrise?" and the crowd scream "YEAH!" - "Is this a scythe?" - "YEAH!" - "Is this a pot?" - "YEAH!" - "Shall we cut it?" - "YEAH YEAH YEAH!!!"), battles at sea, encounters with Romans, how to kill someone by making them drink melted lead, the wonders of Bavel, the stirring grandeur of Eretz Yisrael, the lamb that was as big as the Temple, the man who put his cow on a roof, the temple courtyard knee-deep in blood, Rav Yossi ha'G'lili who always turned cartwheels, demons, plots, fantasy, intrigue, THE WORKS. It just has to wait till I learn all of Shas and find a backer.
