World of Chesed
Jewish Law in Our Times
by Simon M. Jackson, Adv., Legal Advisor to Torah MiTzion
“The articles in this series are tailored in particular for Acheinu Bnei Yisrael around the world, who, due to the language barrier and their specialized nature, may not have ready access to the source materials from which the articles are inspired and drawn. They cover topics on which the Knesset and the Israeli courts have had to regulate and decide in recent years; topics as diverse as “Hunting Animals for Sport” and “White Lies in the Courtroom” to “Human Dignity and Ticking Bombs” and “Redeeming Hostages at any Cost?”
The reader is exposed to the world of Knesset legislation and Israeli Supreme Court judgments, in which recourse to Jewish Law has been made by the Knesset in drafting laws that befit the modern “Jewish and democratic” State of Israel or by Israeli judges in applying and interpreting such laws – or how the age-old principles of Halacha and Gemara would have invaluably enriched and/or bettered the law or court ruling thereon had they been taken into consideration.”
