About this title

Synopsis

Now, for the first time, Jewish History, Sources, Principles -- the "magnum opus" of Justice Menachem Elon, retired deputy president of the Supreme Court of Israel -- is available in a superb English translation. Justice Elon's Ha-Mishpat Ha-lvri first appeared in Hebrew in 1973. It was hailed as a "work of genius" by Haim H. Cohen, former Justice of the Supreme Court of Israel. It earned for its author the prestigious Israel Prize; over the past two decades, rabbis, legal scholars, and critics worldwide have praised the work's richness, depth, and extraordinary insights. Jewish Law 's elegant style and clear exposition afford an access to expert and lay readers alike, introducing them to an unparalleled work of research and modern scholarship.
