Talmudic legislation prescribed penalty for a Jew to testify in a
non-Jewish court, against a fellow Jew, to benefit a gentile - for
breach of a duty of loyalty to a fellow Jew. Through close textual
analysis, Saul Berman explores how Jewish jurists responded when
this virtue of loyalty conflicted with values such as Justice,
avoidance of desecration of God's Name, deterrence of crime,
defence of self, protection of Jewish community, and the duty to
adhere to Law of the Land. Essential for scholars and graduate
students in Talmud, Jewish law and comparative law, this key volume
details the nature of these loyalties as values within the Jewish
legal system, and how the resolution of these conflicts was
handled. Berman additionally explores why this issue has
intensified in contemporary times and how the related area of
'Mesirah' has wrongfully come to be prominently associated with
this law regulating testimony.
