5.0 out of 5 stars
ritual purity explained,
This review is from: Ritual and Morality: The Ritual Purity System and its Place in Judaism (Hardcover)
The book provides an in-depth analysis of the the meaning and purpose of rituals in Jewish morality. Without resorting to undue technicalities ( always a risk while dealing with matters Jewish) Maccoby is able to show what is still relevant and what is obsolete in a tradition which is so alien to Gentile mentality, both in the Christian west and in the Hindu-Budhist east, with its inescapable propensity to seek higher,more spiritual, values, as opposed to the "carnal" Jew's resolve to remained anchored to the material and the concrete.Highly recommended for students of Judaism who have at least some knowledge of the core beliefs of that faith.
