More about the book
The book explores the relationship between Scripture and the Halakhic system that shapes Jewish law. It challenges the conventional view by suggesting that instead of viewing Scripture as the foundational element from which Halakhic norms derive, one might consider the Halakhic system itself as the baseline, with Scripture as a variable. This shift in perspective prompts a deeper inquiry into the origins and structures of Jewish legal thought, inviting readers to rethink the interplay between religious texts and legal frameworks.
