Based primarily on the original text of Rabbi Epstein's legal codes and homilies, this work covers topics such as women, modernity, customs, and secular studies. It analyzes the rabbi's approach to Jewish law and Jewish life, designed to promote the spiritual welfare of Jews under the pressures of growing secularization and Russification. Although based upon the principles of the traditional judicial process, the rabbi's rulings demonstrate a profound understanding of the contemporary social and historical reality facing the Jews of Russia at the turn of the century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Simcha Fishbane\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1934843032\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781934843031\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Academic Studies Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Simcha Fishbane","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48445905305855,"sku":"9781934843031","price":109.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dd56f227-ced0-496b-b078-bcb1cd684765.jpg?v=1777221404","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-boldness-of-a-halakhist-simcha-fishbane-9781934843031","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
