confusing to read

this text is very confusing to read, and has an unnecessary diffult style of convuluted english which cloak the meaning of sentences. the introduction is too long and does not come to a point. e.g. already the second sentence 'Until the advent of modernity, in nearly all Jewish communities, the Talmud was the centerpiece of Jewish cultural life and was foundational to "all Jewish thought and aspirations", serving also as "the guide for the daily life" of Jews.' has 3 commas and 4 double quotes and says exactly: nothing. what exactly is "advent of modernity", and "nearly all jewish communities"? many links are useless also. if you hover over philosophy it shows "jewish philosophy is the the philosophy of jews". judaism deserves more than such low quality jibberish texts.
