Boundaries of Loyalty
Talmudic legislation prescribed penalty for a Jew to testify in a non-Jewish court, against a fellow Jew, to benefit a gentile - for breach of a duty of loyalty to a fellow Jew. Through close textual analysis, Saul Berman explores how Jewish jurists responded when this virtue of loyalty conflicted with values such as Justice, avoidance of desecration of God's Name, deterrence of crime, defence of self, protection of Jewish community, and the duty to adhere to Law of the Land. Essential for scholars and graduate students in Talmud, Jewish law and comparative law, this key volume details the nature of these loyalties as values within the Jewish legal system, and how the resolution of these conflicts was handled. Berman additionally explores why this issue has intensified in contemporary times and how the related area of 'Mesirah' has wrongfully come to be prominently associated with this law regulating testimony.

Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh
The beating heart of all religious enterprise undertaken in the spiritof intellectual integrity is a riddle: how can a God who exists beyondthe ken of human beings—and outside of the spatial and temporalcoordinates that are the most basic of all factors that we bring to bearin our perception and evaluation of the world—how can such a Godbe known at all, let alone worshiped meaningfully?Classical Jewish sources approach the matter in different ways.The Bible, for example, takes a two-pronged approach, describingin some passages a God whom none can survive the experience ofseeing directly (Exodus 33:20) and with whom too close contact canphysically disfigure (Exodus 34:29), maim (Genesis 3...
