This commentary examines the rabbinic texts to uncover specific value concepts that are reflected in them either explicitly or implicitly. The comments underscore the organismic relation and interdependence of rabbinic value concepts, and call attention to the special character of rabbinic religious experience.

Features:

  • Demonstration of the similarities and differences in meaning and nuance between the uses of terms
  • Clarification of the nexus between the biblical texts and the rabbinic statements

Max Kadushin (1895-1980) was a Conservative rabbi and scholar of ethics, rabbinic thought, and philosophy. He was also the author of A Conceptual Approach to the Mekilta (1969).
