Talmudic Argument: A Study in Talmudic Reasoning and Methodology
A Tree of Life. Diversity, Flexibility, and Creativity in Jewish Law
Beyond Reasonable Doubt
More than forty years have passed since the author first put forward the argument that traditionally observant Jews have no reason to take issue with the results obtained by the historical critics in their investigation into the Bible and the other classical sources of Judaism. The author has argued that the traditional doctrine which claims that ‘the Torah is from Heaven’ can and should be maintained — provided that the word ‘from’ is understood…

Religion and the Individual: A Jewish Perspective
The aim of this study is to demonstrate that, for all the admitted emphasis on peoplehood in the Jewish religious tradition, there are equally strong individualistic tendencies within Judaism which should not be confined to the sidelines.

Historical Thinking in the Post-Talmudic Halakhah
From the close of the Babylonian Talmud in the sixth century CE down to the period of the Emancipation (late eighteenth century), the preponderance in Jewish studies was in the Halakhah, the legal side of Judaism. Of course, in this period, too, many works were produced on other aspects of Judaism Biblical exegesis, Hebrew grammar, liturgical and general poetry, mysticism and the Kabbalah, and, especially, Jewish philosophy and theology -but the …

The Qal Va-Ḥomer Argument in the Old Testament
Every student of Rabbinic literature is aware of the formal argument known as qal va-ḥomer 'the argument from the minor to the major'. There are numerous instances of the argument in Rabbinic literature, dating from pre-Tannaitic times down to the close of the Talmud. The argument runs: if A is so then B must surely be so; if the 'minor' has this or that property then the 'major' must undoubtedly have it. It is of interest to Old Testament schola…
