Book Synopsis Law as Religion, Religion as Law by : David C. Flatto
Download or read book Law as Religion, Religion as Law written by David C. Flatto and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-08-25 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conventional approach to law and religion assumes that these are competing domains, which raises questions about the freedom of, and from, religion; alternate commitments of religion and human rights; and respective jurisdictions of civil and religious courts. This volume moves beyond this competitive paradigm to consider law and religion as overlapping and interrelated frameworks that structure the social order, arguing that law and religion share similar properties and have a symbiotic relationship. Moreover, many legal systems exhibit religious characteristics, informing their notions of authority, precedent, rituals and canonical texts, and most religions invoke legal concepts or terminology. The contributors address this blurring of law and religion in the contexts of political theology, secularism, church-state conflicts, and the foundational idea of divine law. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Book Synopsis Running in Good Faith? by : Alan D. Krinsky
Download or read book Running in Good Faith? written by Alan D. Krinsky and published by Academic Studies PRess. This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Could a religiously observant Jew, in good conscience, run as a libertarian candidate, promoting a libertarian platform? Or, would doing so betray fundamental Jewish values? Running in Good Faith? Observant Judaism and Libertarian Politics considers the seemingly irreconcilable values and political commitments of Judaism and libertarianism. The latter prizes individualism, self-ownership, private property, and freedom, whereas the former emphasizes community, charity, and service of God. But are these differences so sharp? This book seeks to determine if this is an essential clash or merely an apparent one, and to stimulate a broad discussion of Judaism, values, politics, and political philosophy in order to call into question what people think they know, about both Judaism and libertarianism.

Book Synopsis And All Your Children Shall be Learned by : Shoshana Pantel Zolty
Download or read book And All Your Children Shall be Learned written by Shoshana Pantel Zolty and published by Jason Aronson. This book was released on 1993 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "One picture that often comes to mind when one thinks of Torah study is a group of bearded men clad in long black coats and hats huddled around a table piled high with texts. Women do not appear in this image; if anywhere, they are in the kitchen preparing a meal, keeping the children from disturbing their fathers, or working to support the family so that their husbands can devote their energies to learning. Such is a common view as to "the role of women" in Torah study. In "And All Your Children Shall Be Learned": Women and the Study of Torah in Jewish Law and History, Shoshana Pantel Zolty helps dispel this myth." "Through an analysis of halakhic literature, the Mishnah, the Talmud, and other classical texts, as well as Jewish and general world history, Zolty explores the evolution of Jewish education for women. In each period, from biblical times through to the twentieth century, we find exceptional women, usually of rabbinic families, some of whom are cited as authorities in certain areas of Jewish law, and some of whom may have mastered the entire gamut of Torah study. The book traces the development of the legal literature pertaining to the instruction of Torah to women and the various issues surrounding it. It also discusses the twentieth-century initiative of Sarah Schenirer, the founder of the Bais Yaakov Schools, and analyzes the place of the study of Torah by women in Orthodox settings. Throughout the work, ample footnotes and source material document the veracity of the claim that women have been and are permitted to become learned." "Zolty sifts through history to accord women their rightful place in the history of Jewish education. Along the way she presents the basic philosophy of education, the role and status of women in traditional Judaism and the attitudes of scholars with respect to the religious roles of women." "For women who think that traditional study is closed to them, or for men who feel that women should not learn Torah, or for any reader seeking to fully understand the value and history of Torah study and education in Judaism, "And All Your Children Shall Be Learned" will be both eye-opening and interesting, shedding light on a long-neglected topic, the contribution of women to the study of Torah."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
