This book examines the talmudic writings, politics, and ideology of
Y.I. Halevy (1847-1914), one of the most influential
representatives of the pre-war eastern European Orthodox Jewish
community. It analyzes Halevy's historical model of the formation
of the Babylonian Talmud, which, he argued, was edited by an
academy of rabbis beginning in the fourth century and ending by the
sixth century. Halevy's model also served as a blueprint for the
rabbinic council of Agudath Israel, the Orthodox political body in
whose founding he played a leading role. Foreword by Jay M. Harris,
Harry Austryn Wolfson Professor of Jewish Studies at Harvard
University and the author of How Do We Know This? Midrash and the
Fragmentation of Modern Judaism, among other works.
