Synopsis
In the study of Judaism, no amount of exposure to secondary sources or commentary can take the place of direct contact with the authoritative texts embodying Jewish thought and teaching. Through a careful selection of texts, this volume introduces the reader to a broad range of important theological and historical developments, as well as to the issues central to an understanding of present-day Judaism. The texts anthologized cover: Bible exegesis (midrash), liturgy, hagiography, law, ethics, philosophy and theology, mysticism, modern varieties of Judaism, Zionism, and the State of Israel. A group of selections deals with anti-Semitism and the attitudes of host societies towards the Jewish minority.

From the Back Cover
This series aims to meet a fundamental need in the study of religions, namely that for new, reliable translations of major texts. Each volume in the series covers a wide range of literature, including liturgy and legend, folklore and faith, mysticism and modern thought, political issues, poetry and popular writings. Attention is paid to daily religious life as exemplified in worship or in law, as well as to great movements of thought. The translations are accompanied by generous annotation, glosses, and explanations, thus providing valuable aids to understanding the special character of each religion.
