Synopsis
Excerpt from The Defective in Jewish Law and Literature: A Paper Read Before the New York Board of Jewish Ministers
There are two typical attitudes toward the phenomena of existence. One may simply take these phenomena for granted, unquestioningly, uncomplainingly. Whatever their cause and origin, they are here and must be dealt with somehow. They must be adjusted to men and men must be adjusted to them, according to the demands and limitations of the individual and of society. Or again, one may refuse to take them for granted. One may go behind these phenomena and inquire into their cause. To him who adopts the latter attitude, practical means of adjustment are not satisfactory, his concern being to find those higher, ideal adjustments whereby life as a whole, with its light and shadow, may be shown to conform to the laws of mind and morals, of reasonableness and righteousness.
The difference between these two attitudes is particularly apparent in the case of such phenomena as introduce jarring discord into human life.

The Defective in Jewish Law and Literature (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the historical and religious treatment of mental disability in Jewish communities from biblical times to the present day. The author analyzes the legal and religious status of people with mental disabilities, as well as the ideas and beliefs that have shaped their treatment throughout history. The book draws on a rich body of Jewish literature, including religious texts, legal codes, and rabbinical commentaries, to provide a comprehensive understanding of the subject. The author argues that the treatment of people with mental disabilities has been shaped by a complex interplay of religious, social, and cultural factors. While the Jewish tradition has emphasized the importance of compassion and care for the vulnerable, it has also been influenced by beliefs about the causes of disability and the role of individuals in society. The book traces how these ideas have changed over time and how they have affected the lives of people with mental disabilities. Ultimately, this book offers a nuanced and thought-provoking look at a complex and often overlooked aspect of Jewish history. It provides a valuable resource for scholars interested in the history of disability, Jewish studies, and the intersection of religion and society.
