Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the origins and development of Jewish law, known as Halakah, during the formative years following the Babylonian Exile. The author explores how Halakah was passed down through two distinct forms: Midrash and Mishnah. Midrash, meaning "search" or "inquiry," involves interpreting the Torah, the Jewish scriptures, to derive legal rulings. The author examines how this form, particularly through works like Sifra, Sifre, and Mekilta, became the primary method of teaching Halakah in the early period. In contrast, Mishnah, which means "repetition" or "study," presents Halakah as a collection of independent rulings without scriptural proof. The author traces the emergence of Mishnah, proposing that it developed as a necessary response to evolving societal needs and the increasing volume of legal rulings. The book meticulously investigates the transition from the exclusive use of Midrash to the adoption of Mishnah, challenging existing theories and offering a fresh perspective on this significant shift in Jewish legal history. The author's exploration sheds light on the intricate relationship between tradition and interpretation in shaping the foundation of Jewish law.
