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 aspectsJudaismBabylonian Talmud.Bible.Emmanuel Levinas.Jewish theology.Judaism.Rabbinic literature.cities.class.community.ethics.faith traditions.hermeneutics.homelessness.philosophy.polemics.politics.poverty.religion.sacred texts.social justice.Judaism and social problems.Justice (Jewish theology)Social justiceReligious aspectsJudaism.296.36Cohen Aryeh1552023MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910779070803321Justice in the city3811796UNINA
