The Horizontal Society (Volumes 1 & 2)

More about the book

Exploring rabbinic thought through Maimonides, this work contrasts Jewish principles with those of Greece, Rome, and Christendom. It is structured in five sections addressing key aspects of Israel's identity: God, governance, memory, and folly. The author emphasizes the horizontal organization of the Jewish community, grounded in the belief that all humans are created in God's image and that the Law, established by the Sinai covenant, is the ultimate authority. The book includes a comprehensive bibliography and numerous appendices, enriching its scholarly depth.
