Abstract:
In traditional Judaism, duties precede rights. This way of thinking about the law is deeply rooted in Judaism, both legally and religiously. Its origins can be traced back to the Sinaitic Covenant and the rise of debt-based Jewish identity. Jewish law of obligations is not contract, but obligation driven and derived from a unique understanding of freedom innately bound to its divine origin. The theological origin of Jewish law influenced a specific understanding of freedom in Judaism. It was considered to be given by God and, thus, inalienable. In Judaism, vowing was burdened with the risk of committing a sin. Because Jewish law of obligations can be traced back to halakhic norms governing taking and releasing from oaths and vows, contracting away one’s future choices by promising was thought to threaten personal freedom. Rabbinic disdain towards granting every agreement with legal protection resulted as well from fear of the debtor’s falling into servitude. Nonetheless, legally binding obligations were made possible by extending the meaning of monetary debt on other kinds of legal agreements in the process of creative rabbinic interpretation. The moment of becoming bound by a contract was also delayed as much as possible to avoid limiting one’s future freedom. The Talmudists must have changed their interpretation of some halakhic norms to make them applicable to the lives and commerce in greatly varied legal systems of countries in which Jews lived.

Abstract:
As America's food system became increasingly industrialized in the twentieth century, it became increasingly difficult for the Jewish community to regulate the foods it ate to comply with kosher law. As American Jews strayed from religious lives, major Orthodox Jewish organizations sought to win back adherents by adapting the ancient ritual of Jewish dietary law to the most complex, modern processing techniques. The result was an elaborate third-party certification system, the first of its kind, which is now the backbone of a billion-dollar industry that thrives today. Within a short span of time, major food corporations were printing kosher certification labels on their packages. Today, two-fifths of food sold in the supermarket come kosher certified. How Jews eat—purchasing packaged products with kosher seals of approval—has fundamentally transformed from the immigrant days on the Lower East Side and the shtetls of Eastern Europe. Consequently, kosher food has become overly reliant on large-scale food production. Small efforts to further adapt the kosher industry to small-scale production and fair-labor rights are underway, though a long way off.

AbstractAlthough the Jewish Community in South Africa has always been a small but nevertheless significant minority, it has featured prominently in the country's history. This paper sets out to highlight some of the most important events and developments in the community's local history, culturally, historically and politically. The various events and perspectives are mirrored through the vital documentation of the time, including the following premier examples: the struggle to obtain recognition for Yiddish as a language, the fight against anti-Semitism in the 1930s (the Grey Shirt movement and apartheid in more recent times), hurdles in regard to the immigration of Jews from Europe (especially refugees), the contribution of Jews to the development of the South African economy, commerce, law, literature and medicine.

Abstract:
The ancient Near Eastern cultures and the Babylonian Talmud are examined to ascertain whether they can elucidate Biblical descriptions of disease (many of which are mentioned by the Talmudic rabbis in the course of their discussions) to render a better understanding of the Biblical text. Archaeological evidence can verify the existence of tuberculosis, gout and leprosy in Old Testament times because these diseases leave specific lesions on ancient bones. The ancient Israelites used amulets and incantations to ward off or treat illnesses despite Biblical prohibitions. This use was echoed in both the ancient Near Eastern cultures and in Talmudic times because some rabbis realised their effectiveness, but the majority doubted their usefulness. Idolatry, necromancy and sorcery were practiced and demons played a role in illness. Physicians, healers, herbal remedies, therapies and folk medicine in Biblical and Talmudic times are investigated.

Abstract:
Because Jewish law is a positive legal system, it has tended to tolerate actions not specifically prohibited by pre-modern laws, such as genetic technology. Jewish law and culture even embrace medical technologies. But Jewish ethics and its interaction with Jewish law follow naturalistic reasoning. Jewish morality warns against abuse of the positive legal system by acts and intentions that are immoral but technically licit. Jewish morality is censorious with attempts to predict personal future; Jewish law is quite restrictive in relation to the dissemination of personal information, even when truthful. The chapter shows how Judaism’s treatment of personal information might bear on the evolving ethics and law of information technologies on private and genetic data.

Abstract:
This chapter examines why so many young Jews from east European immigrant backgrounds in England set out to become doctors, when this trend began, and how it gathered momentum. The concentration of the immigrant generation in England in the tailoring, cabinet-making, and shopkeeping businesses meant that Jewish families favoured self-employment—an inclination further encouraged by the difficulty of maintaining strict sabbath observance when working for non-Jewish or public authority employers. The professions of medicine and law were more prestigious and generated higher incomes than the manual occupations or shopkeeping, but nevertheless were based on the same model of self-employment, and this attracted upwardly mobile Jewish men and women into them. Moreover, employment prospects in the medical profession were believed to be reasonably good. The chapter then considers the rate of recruitment of Jewish medical students in London and the leading provincial centres with large immigrant populations—Manchester, Leeds, and Liverpool. It also discusses whether or not there was antisemitism in the admissions policy of the medical schools, and how important antipathy towards Jews was among English medical students.

Abstract:
A history of the important contributions of religious and theological scholars to the birth and growth of the field of medical ethics. Religious values influence medical decision-making in the clinical setting and across the life course for many controversial issues, such as abortion and euthanasia. However, conclusions regarding those procedures or courses of action that are proscribed (forbidden or discouraged) or prescribed (mandated or recommended) by respective religious codes (e.g., halachah, or Jewish law) often differ across and among Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish bioethicists and those of other faith traditions. The work of leading scholars in this field is discussed, with special reference to difficult medical decisions at the beginning and end of life.

Abstract:
The chapter covers the first phase of social mobility when large numbers move from the Leylands to Chapeltown, exemplified in the opening of the splendid New Synagogue in 1932. There was insidious anti-Semitism in the barriers placed in the professions of medicine and law and it was a tribute to the determination and talent of many Jews that they were able to surmount them. The Battle of Holbeck Moor is cited as an important statement of Jewish resistance to the Fascism of Oswald Mosley. The chapter identifies the retail and other businesses which developed, including the crucially important factory of Montague Burton.

After two introductory comments on why a Jewish perspective on neonatology might matter to anyone but Jews and on the methods of deriving guidance on this very new topic from an ancient tradition that knew nothing of contemporary science, this chapter describes the moral and legal status of the neonate in Jewish law and lore. It then discusses the fundamental Jewish concepts and convictions that underlie care for anyone, including neonates—concepts such as the role of medicine in our lives, the status of the disabled, human mortality, and end-of-life care, including its medical and financial concerns. The chapter then moves to the psychological and emotional aspects of neonatal care, discussing what the Jewish mandate to visit the sick means in the neonatal context and how Jewish mourning rites need to be adjusted to comfort parents of a neonate who dies.

Abstract:
This chapter uncovers the historical dimensions of a key element of medieval Jewish family life, intergenerational dynamics, and milestones in the life cycle. It fills a considerable lacuna in the study of Jewish history, emphasizing a critical area of medieval Jewish life that will finally emerge from the shadows. The focus on old age offers a novel approach to the study of Jewish history and widens the scope to include the cultural valence. The chapter addresses questions and problems of ageing, such as ideas about the onset of senescence for men and for women, life expectancy, longevity, geriatric medicine, and a range of responses to the physical, mental, social, and sexual challenges associated with ageing. It also covers theoretical paradigms and ideal conceptions of old age in medieval Jewish literature, drawing on a range of sources from ethics and law to literature and philosophy.
