Divine Law in Human Hands: Case Studies in Halakhic Flexibility

by Jacob Katz

Book Overview

This is an anthology of articles authored by Jacob Katz, most of which have been translated from his two volumes of collected studies in Hebrew Halakhah and Kabbala (1984) and Halakhah in Straits (1992). The focus of this collection is the Halakhah, the system of law that both molded Jewish life and was molded by it during the medieval period and, to a certain extent, in modern times.
