"Butting against the prevalent view that wealth in and of itself is morally tainted, Gregg Gardner's readings of the early rabbis and tanniatic ethics are provocative, insightful, and justified."--Elizabeth Shanks Alexander, Professor of Religious Studies, University of Virginia "Did the rabbis of antiquity--whose writings such as the Talmud critically charted the development of Judaism as we know it--care about the poor? The answer, as Gardner shows in this superb, readable, and sophisticated study, is surprisingly complex.

Satlow, Professor of Judaic and Religious Studies, Brown University
