Circumventing the Law

Rabbinic Perspectives on Loopholes and Legal Integrity

Beschreibung

"This book traces rabbinic thought on the near-universal phenomenon of legal circumventions, finding licit ways to achieve otherwise illegal outcomes. Rabbinic literature does not fully reject or accept loopholing, but instead determine acceptability based on whether their outcome and their process maintain the values and the integrity of the law"--
