    Punishment and Forgiveness in American and Biblical Jewish Law

    by Reuven Travis ...
    How does one navigate living religiously in a secular world?

  • Finding America in Leviticus

    Reflections on Nation Building in the Twenty-First Century

    It would seem that we have taken on an impossible task in this book: trying to demonstrate to modern Americans, be they secular or religious, Jews or Christians, that the sacrificial rites found in Leviticus have any germaneness to their lives. After all, to the extent that any modern reader turns to the pages of Leviticus at all, the notion that they would be inspired by the text and pine for the ... Read more

  • Finding America in Exodus

    A Blueprint for “A More Perfect Union” in the 21st Century

    God's charge to the Jewish people at Sinai was to be "a kingdom of priests and a holy nation." Nowhere is freedom found in this exhortation, even though the Jews had been freed from slavery only seven weeks prior. That is because the Jews were not liberated merely to become a free people. God wanted them and expected them to evolve into a nation committed to creating a law-abiding society. From ... Read more

  • Sex in the Garden

    Consensual Encounters Gone Bad

    In the #MeToo times in which we live, there are few hard and fast rules that govern personal encounters and sexual liaisons. Consent, so long as it is neither coerced nor forced, dictates all. Astute students of the Bible will see this aspect of our current social milieu reflected in the book of Genesis. Genesis is not a book about laws. There are no "thou shall" or "thou shall not" commandments ... Read more

  • Formulating Responses in an Egalitarian Age

    Series series The Orthodox Forum Series
    At first glance, Orthodox Judaism is not compatible with the prevailing world view of equal treatment for all people, regardless of their race, gender or religion. But modern Orthodox Jews share the sense that egalitarianism is a positive moral value, so they cannot simply dismiss this contemporary ethos as incompatible with their faith. In a range of ways and variety of perspectives from the ... Read more
