On this edition of By the Book, sponsored by Koren Publishers, Nachum Segal interviewed Daniel Retter about, “HaMafteach – A Complete Index of the Entire Shas at Your Fingertips, All in One Volume, NEW English Edition”
From the Koren website:

Available in both Hebrew and English editions, HaMafteach® includes approximately 7,700 main entries, 29,000 sub-entries, 45,000 Talmudic sources including mishnayot.

HaMafteach® is your key to opening up the Talmud, locating every topic, saying, anecdote, maxim, parable, significant subject matter, law, biblical exegesis, and biblical and Talmudic personality mentioned in Shas. The English edition includes transliteration of Hebrew and Aramaic words and phrases, and a new integrated glossary.

HaMafteach® is an ideal gift, as well as an invaluable research tool for rabbis, educators, students, and all those who wish to “swim in the Yam HaTalmud.”
