“Any book on Jewish ethics that includes so many elements - classical and modern texts, theological and secular ethics, Maimonides and contemporary feminist thought - would be impressive. This book introduces all of these things and more, while remaining highly readable, concise, and generous in its analysis.”- Emily Filler (Washington and Lee University)
