Judaism and Human Geography Hardback
by Yossi Katz
Part of the Emunot: Jewish Philosophy and Kabbalah series
Hardback
Description
Judaism is a religion and a way of life that combines beliefs as well as practical commandments and traditions, encompassing all spheres of life.
Some of the numerous precepts emerge directly from the Torah (the Law of Moses).
Others are commanded by Oral Law, rulings of illustrious Jewish legal scholars throughout the generations, and rabbinic responsa composed over hundreds of years and still being written today.
Like other religions, Judaism has also developed unique symbols that have become virtually exclusive to it, such as the Star of David and the seven-branched menorah.
This book argues that Judaism impacts human geography in significant ways: it shapes the environment and space of its believers, thus creating a unique "Jewish geography.
