A view from Jerusalem -- Toward an ideology for post-halakhic Jews -- The halakhah and Jewish identity -- Halakhah and conversion -- Halakhah and educative ritual -- The parameters of Jewish law -- Reflections on the future. 330 $aJudaism in a Post-Halakhic Age tackles the following questions: 1. What is Halakhah, and what role has it played in the creative survival of the Jewish people for two millennia? 2. Why is Halakhah no longer capable of functioning as it has until now? 3. What sort of polity and religious culture can be recommended to replace the Halakhic tradition in an era of freedom, democracy, scientific research, and religious pluralism? The author, however, out of his great respect for Halakhic culture, asks what it can still contribute to Jewish civilization and the advance of a united humanity. 410 0$aReference library of Jewish intellectual history. 606 $aJewish law 606 $aJudaism$y21st century 615 0$aJewish law. 615 0$aJudaism 676 $a296.1/80905 700 $aCohen$b Jack$f1919-2012.$01493563 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811777703321 996 $aJudaism in a post-halakhic age$93963938 997 $aUNINA
