Reviews

'A welcome addition to recent monographs on sundry topics in Jewish law.' - Religion, Thought, and Education 'Overall, it is refreshing to read a book that is substantially a legal treatise but that integrates aggadah and Jewish thought as part of the legal process or, at least, as part of the legal-cultural background. It is doubly refreshing to encounter the passion of the author, his love for the Jewish tradition, and his usually successful attempt to help us understand the halakhic mindset concerning the disabled. Even if the halakhah itself occasionally seems disabled in the eyes of the author, his love for the tradition conquers all.' - Religion, Thought, and Education
