Environmental concerns are at the top of the agenda around the
world. Judaism, like the other world religions, only rarely raised
issues concerning the environment in the past. This means that
modern Judaism, the halakhic tradition no less than others, must
build on a slim foundation in its efforts to give guidance. The
essays in this volume mark the beginning of a new effort to face
questions and formulate answers of vital importance.
THE FREEHOF INSTITUTE OF PROGRESSIVE HALAKHAH The Freehof Institute
of Progressive Halakhah is a creative research center devoted to
studying and defming the progressive character of the halakhah in
accordance with the principles and theology of Refonn Judaism. It
seeks to establish the ideological basis of Progressive halakhah,
and its application to daily life. The Institute fosters serious
studies, and helps scholars in various parts of the world to work
together for a common cause. It provides an ongoing forum through
symposia and publications, including the quarterly newsletter
Halakhah, published under the editorship of Walter Jacob, in the
United States. Our Academic Council includes the foremost halakhic
scholars in the Refonn, Liberal, and Progressive rabbinate as well
as a number of Conservative and Orthodox colleagues, and university
professors. This book follows the volumes: Dynamic Jewish Law,
Progressive Halakhah- Essence and Application (1991), Rabbinic-Lay
Relations in Jewish Law (1993), Conversion to Judaism in Jewish Law
(1994), Death and Euthanasia in Jewish Law (1995), The Fetus and
Fertility in Jewish Law (1995), Israel and the Diaspora in Jewish
Law (1997), Aging and the Aged in Jewish Law (1998), Marriage and
Its Obstacles in Jewish Law (1999), Crime and Punishment in Jewish
Law (2000), and Gender Issues in Jewish Law (2001). It is part of a
series whose subjects are diverse and the approaches taken by the
authors are equally so. We wish to encourage wide-ranging
discussions of contemporary and historic themes.
Radical changes in understandings of gender over the last two
centuries are at the heart of some of the most controversial issues
within Jewish life and law. They have influenced the basic concepts
of Judaism, of family structure, of liturgy, of thoughts about
leadership and of Halakhah. This volume discusses some of these
changes and new definitions and how they continue to be reflected
in the developing reform Halakhah.
The Bible presents only a small portion of the laws necessary for a
state to function. Nevertheless, whole tractates of the Talmud
discuss a wide variety of legal issues both civil and criminal.
Although the jurisdiction of the beth din was limited in every land
where Jews have lived, the scholars felt that it was important to
develop a system which dealt with every aspect of life. Quite a few
of the issues were discussed at a purely theoretical level. But
faced with specific problems in their respective communities, the
rabbinic scholars were forced to be practical and go beyond the
traditional halakhah in order to protect the community. This
mixture of idealism and reality shape the later rabbinic
discussions, some elements of which have been incorporated into
modern Israeli law, but also shape modern Jewish thinking in the
Diaspora. This area of the halakhah has been rather neglected, but
this volume will no doubt stimulate further research. Published in

Where does learning take place? In this collection of passionately
argued essays, leading educators and theorists explore the "where"
of pedagogy - how pedagogical processes are influenced by local
conditions. Understanding this dynamic just may be the single most
important ingredient to successful teaching.
"If Classrooms Matter" presents some of the best known voices in
critical pedagogy--Michael Apple, Henry Giroux, Stanley Aronowitz,
Carol Becker, Peter McLaren--alongside essays by such well-known
scholars as Mark Poster, Sharon O'Dair, David Trend, Jacqueline
Bobo, and others. These thinkers explore the sensitive balance
between technology, physical space, economic developments,
political events, and the goals of teaching--a balance we must
constantly renegotiate if classrooms are to matter at all.

Whom do Jews consider to be Jewish? Is one born a Jew? Does one
have a choice? Marriage, religious conviction, feelings of guilt in
the face of history have all been reasons for seeking membership of
the Jewish community. What are the practical issues for someone
wishing to convert to Judaism? International contributors describe
in this volume the manifold theological, legal, sociological, and
psychological aspects to the phenomenon of the new children of
Abraham, and people who have confronted this issue in their own
lives tell their stories.
