Description
Handbook of Jewish Thought Vol. 1 - Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan Beginning with the idea of G-D and his purpose in creation, this handbook goes on to show how this implies the concept of man , Israel, revelation, the Torah and the commandments. The concept of revelation is then developed to show how the Torah was revealed, the Bible written, and the Oral Torah transmitted. This in turn leads to a discussion of how authority in Judaism is defined, leading to a presentation of the concepts of the Sanhedrin, halacha, and custom.
