Rabbi Dr Sol Roth in his academic career applied the analytic method in his teaching of philosophy at Yeshiva University and in books he wrote His goal was to bring greater clarification of Jewish concepts to his students and readers by rigorous use of logical methods to assure validity of arguments and by contrasting religious and moral notions with corresponding ideas of other cultures The use of identical terms to describe fundamental cultural concepts that are radically different in meaning generates confusion even among those intellectually advanced This work contributes to understanding by delineating critical differences in their meanings and yields arresting insights into the Jewish concepts of freedom rights equality justice wisdom faith belief and other basic ideas in the domains of morality and religion

The medieval Jewish philosophers Saadia Gaon Bahya ibn Pakuda and Moses Maimonides made significant contributions to moral philosophy in ways that remain relevant today Jonathan Jacobs explicates shared general features of the thought of these thinkers and also highlights their distinctive contributions to understanding moral thought and moral life The rationalism of these thinkers is a key to their views They argued that seeking rational understanding of Torahs commandments and the created order is crucial to fulfilling the covenant with God and that intellectual activity and ethical activity form a spiral of mutual reinforcement In their view rational comprehension and ethical action jointly constitute a life of holiness Their insights are important in their own right and are also relevant to enduring issues in moral epistemology and moral psychology resonating even in the contemporary contextThe central concerns of this study include i the relations between revelation and rational justification ii the roles of intellectual virtue and ethical virtue in human perfection iii the implications of theistic commitments for topics such as freedom of the will the acquisition of virtues and vices repentance humility and forgiveness iv contrasts between medieval Jewish moral thought and the practical wisdom approach to moral philosophy and the natural law approach to it and v the universality and objectivity of moral elements of Torah

Ever since the state of Israel was established in 1948 it has been plagued by war and that has presented religious Zionists with an immense challenge Jewish law prior to 1948 includes little material on war because it developed during centuries when Jews had neither a state nor an army The leading rabbis of the religious Zionist community have therefore had to create an entire body of laws on this subject where practically none had existed beforehand These rabbis have responded to the challenge with remarkable energy and ingenuity Religious Zionist rabbis have produced a corpus of laws on war that is both comprehensive and nuanced and these laws now serve as a critical source of guidance for Orthodox Israelis serving in their countrys military The present study is a pioneering work on this fascinating chapter in the history of Jewish law a chapter that up to now has received relatively little attention from academic scholars Robert Eisen examines how five of the most prominent rabbis in the religious Zionist community have dealt with key moral issues in war The figures include R Abraham Isaac Kook R Isaac Halevi Herzog R Eliezer Waldenberg R Shaul Yisraeli and R Shlomo Goren Eisen also examines how the positions of these rabbis compare with those of international law These explorations provide critical insight into the worldview of religious Zionism which in recent years has become increasingly influential in Israeli politics
