By (author) Hebrew Union College Press
In this volume, students and colleagues of beloved teacher Mark Washofsky honor his erudition, superb pedagogy, kindness, humor, and flare with a collection of essays that reflect Washofsky’s incisive thought and expertise. Rabbi Mark Washofsky, Ph.D., Solomon B. Freehof Professor of Jewish Law and Practice and distinguished ethicist of the Reform Movement, specializes in the literature of the Talmud and Jewish law. Dr. Washofsky focuses on how Jewish tradition responds to contemporary issues. His book, Jewish Living: A Guide to Contemporary Reform Practice, serves as a desk reference for many congregational leaders and professionals. His extensive publications include Reform Responsa for the Twenty-First Century as well as essays and articles on medieval halakhic literature, the application of legal theory to the study of Jewish law, Jewish bioethics, outreach and conversion.
