Not in Heaven: The Nature and Function of Jewish Law (Contemporary Jewish Thought)
Eliezer Berkovits analyzes law as it applies to the religious, ethical, and judicial principles of Judaism. Delineating common sense, feasibility, and ethical concern, the author provides a wealth of original insights into the very essence of halaca. In language accessible to everyone, Not in Heaven discusses a wide range of contemporary issues, including the status of women, marriage, divorce, conversion, rabbinic authority, and the role of halacha in a Jewish state.
