Justice in the City argues, based on the rabbinic textual
tradition, especially the Babylonian Talmud, and utilizing French
Jewish philosopher Emmanuel Levinas' framework of interpersonal
ethics, that a just city should be a community of obligation. That
is, in a community thus conceived, the privilege of citizenship is
the assumption of the obligations of the city towards Others who
are not always in view - workers, the poor, the homeless. These
Others form a constitutive part of the city. The second part of the
book is a close analysis of homelessness, labor, and restorative
justice from within the theory that was developed. This title will
be useful for scholars and students in Jewish studies, especially
rabbinic literature and Jewish thought, but also for those
interested in contemporary urban issues.
