Books in the Cambridge Studies in Law and Judaism series

The Jewish Family: Between Family Law and Contract Law examines Jewish family law in the light of new attitudes concerning the role of women, assisted reproduction technologies, and prenuptial agreements. It will appeal to practitioners, activists, academic researchers and laymen readers interested in the fields of law, theology and social science.

This book analyzes the efforts to forge a progressive and 'authentic' Israeli law that would express Jewish identity, and in the process tackles the complex meaning of Judaism: as a religion, culture and nationality. It examines the challenges of transplanting Judaism in the laws of a modern state.

The book presents, for the first time, Maimonides' complete tort theory, and how it compares with other tort theories both in the Jewish world and beyond. Drawing on sources old and new, this book offers fresh interdisciplinary perspectives on important moral, consequentialist, economic, and religious issues.
