Eliezer Berkovits analyzes law as it applies to the religious, ethical, and judicial principles of Judaism. Delineating common sense, feasibility, and ethical concern, the author provides a wealth of original insights into the very essence of halaca. In language accessible to everyone, Not in Heaven discusses a wide range of contemporary issues, including the status of women, marriage, divorce, conversion, rabbinic authority, and the role of halacha in a Jewish state.

  • R. Berger
    5.0 out of 5 stars An Extremely Important Book
    Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2011
    Rabbi Dr. Berkovits, an eminent and revered philosopher and teacher, was one of the twentieth century's most important thinkers in the field of halachah (Jewish law). This book clearly, cogently, powerfully and persuasively sets out his philosophy of Jewish law and how halachah is properly to be understood and applied in the modern world to re-establish its relevance, significance and moral authority. It is "must reading" for anyone having an interest in any aspect of these matters.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Out of print ?
    Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2002
    This book is stunning! I read every word, and I can understand why fellow readers feel so passionately about this book. The writer is orthodox, yet the book is a radical exposition of halacha for our times.

    I was surprised to see that your site claims the book is unavailable. I found a number of copies at Pomeranz Bookseller in Jerusalem.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Controversial Nature and Function of Halakha
    Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 1998
    The book gives the reader a good background in the history of Halakha (jewish law) and contains the authors suggestions for its future. Truly stimulating and possibly life changing. An easy read for a philosophy book.
