Description
Evasion, Avoidance, and Workarounds in the Halakhic System
- Halakhah contains apparent "workarounds" - such as the sale of chametz to non-Jews before Pesach, the use of the prozbol to avoid the cancellation of loans, or the hetter iska which enables collection of interest. Letter and Spirit draws upon the history and halakhic treatment of these mechanisms to consider when and why some of them are accepted, some are resisted, and some find mixed responses, Rabbi Daniel Feldman claims that rabbis throughout history did not view these as loopholes to be manipulated, but as responsible ways of remaining loyal to both the letter and spirit of the law.
- Rabbi Feldman has the rare gift of making complex halakhic material accessible to the intelligent layman, without sacrificing precision and fidelity to the halakhah. It speaks of deep erudition, unwavering commitment, and a gift of exposition and articulation. May he continue to use his pen to enlighten us further, Rabbi Aharon Lopiansky, Rosh HaYeshiva of the Yeshiva of Greater Washington - Tiferes Gedaliah
- In Letter and Spirit, Rabbi Daniel Feldman, a valued talmid and prolific author, who has already produced numerous thoughtful studies on various themes of Jewish law, explores the phenomenon of legal circumvention. Marshalling extensive evidence and a vast literature, this erudite but accessible work discerns principles that distinguish constructive legal mechanisms that preserve the spirit of the law from applications that, while technically sound, evade or undermine its goals. Rabbi Dr. Michael Rosensweig, Rosh Yeshiva and Rosh Kollel, Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary (RIETS) of Yeshiva University
