To the reader who lives amidst the rigor of halakha, this book bestows an insightful glance at the law's orienting ethos and higher aspirations that often remain opaque.

Rezensionen
"In its depth and breadth, this work is theologically stunning. ... Its erudition, sophistication, and verve testify that halakhah is neither only an object of study nor a paved highway but, rather, a path that, in its being traveled, is constantly redirected in view of divine command and human experience." (Yonatan Y. Brafman, Journal of Jewish Ethics, Vol. 5 (2), 2019)
