Abstract:
"Can Jewish tradition face our modern understanding of justice, equality, and human progress? The author addresses ancient and modern moral questions. Building on biblical and rabbinic traditions, he analyzes how Jewish ethics relates to Jewish law, fairness, equality, and compassion, as well as the challenge of religious violence. This provides food for thought on subjects ranging from gender, freedom, and military ethics to Jewish particularism and contemporary universalism"--
