This book provides an in-depth exploration of the Jewish legal tradition, or halakhah, through the lens of modern legal philosophy. The interdisciplinary approach of the book makes complex ideas accessible, offering insights into how Jewish legal thought both parallels and diverges from modern legal theory. By examining primary sources through a contemporary legal-theoretical framework, the volume offers a pedagogical approach to halakhah. Readers will gain a nuanced understanding of the deep structure of Jewish law through the rigorous application of modern legal philosophy. The book’s structured approach, dividing chapters into conceptual discussions, primary source analyses, and synthetic reflections, provides a comprehensive guide for exploring Jewish legal thought. The collection not only enhances the study of halakhah but also contributes to broader discussions in legal theory and philosophy, making it a valuable resource for diverse audiences.The book is intended for scholars and students of Jewish law, legal theory, and Jewish studies. It is also designed for law schools, Judaic studies programs, and lay readers interested in the philosophical dimensions of religious legal systems.

In this book, Ari Mermelstein examines the mutually-reinforcing relationship between power and emotion in ancient Judaism. Ancient Jewish writers in both Palestine and the diaspora contended that Jewish identity entails not simply allegiance to God and performance of the commandments but also the acquisition of specific emotional norms. These rules regarding feeling were both shaped by and responses to networks of power - God, the foreign empire, and other groups of Jews - which threatened Jews' sense of agency. According to these writers, emotional communities that felt Jewish would succeed in neutralizing the power wielded over them by others and, depending on the circumstances, restore their power to acculturate, maintain their Jewish identity, and achieve redemption. An important contribution to the history of emotions, this book argues that power relations are the basis for historical changes in emotion discourse.
