That is, in a community thus conceived, the privilege of citizenship is the assumption of the obligations of the city towards Others who are not always in view-workers, the poor, the homeless. These Others form a constitutive part of the city. The second part of the book is a close analysis of homelessness, labor, and restorative justice from within the theory that was developed. This title will be useful for scholars and students in Jewish studies, especially rabbinic literature and Jewish thought, but also for those interested in contemporary urban issues.New perspectives in post-Rabbinic Judaism.Judaism and social problemsJustice (Jewish theology)Social justiceReligious aspectsJudaismElectronic books.Judaism and social problems.Justice (Jewish theology)Social justiceReligious aspectsJudaism.296.36Cohen Aryeh1035058MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457270303321Justice in the city2454553UNINA
