Law as Religion, Religion as Law

 

The conventional approach to the relationship between law and religion operates with the assumption that these are two discrete domains, which often clash with one another. This outlook animates public discourse about such basic topics and tropes as the freedom of religion and freedom from religion; religion and human rights; and the competing jurisdiction of civil and religious courts.

Library

During its years of operation, the Institute for Research in Jewish Law has built a library with a unique, rich and varied collection in Jewish Law research, Halakha and fields related.

The library is a reference library only, and books are not for loan.
