About This Book

The author assembles essays that compare rabbinic tradition and the Talmud with the religion of Moses and the prophets, arguing that many rabbinic practices and doctrines depart from Scripture. He examines ritual laws and observances such as hand-washing, Passover regulations, and the Purim festival, and critiques legal and social provisions affecting women, slaves, and non-Jews. The collection traces the origins and effects of oral traditions, challenges claims of unquestioning rabbinic authority, and calls for renewed adherence to biblical principles while noting contemporary debates and reforming tendencies within Jewish communities.
