5.0 out of 5 stars
A thorough and clearly thought out consideration of the problem,
By Shalom Freedman "Shalom Freedman" (Jerusalem,Israel) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Between Civil and Religious Law: The Plight of the Agunah in American Society (Contributions in Legal Studies) (Hardcover)
I had the privilege of studying in a class Rabbi Breitowitz gave at 'Or Sameach Yeshiva' in Jerusalem a few years back. Much of the course had to do with the Halachic relation to problems of medical ethics. Rabbi Breitowitz not only had a mastery of Jewish sources, but he had a wide medical and legal knowledge. Even more importantly he presented the material in a clear, and even though much of it might have been thought of as ' dry material' , inspiring way.The 'aguna' question is one which has disturbed Jewish society for some time now. Rabbi Breitowitz's consideration of the connection between Halachic requirement and the situation in civil law is , I am sure, a first- rate and carefully thought- out treatment of the subject. |
