Hello, We would like to introduce a new title published by The Hebrew University Magnes Press: Legal Thinking in the Lithuanian Yeshivoth The Heritage and Works of Rabbi Shimon Shkop By Shai Wozner<http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Shai+Wozner.aspx?name=Shai+Wozner>
An intellectual revolution took place in the Lithuanian Yeshivoth in the last quarter of the nineteenth century: a new study method took yeshiva students by storm. The new method focused on the study of the legal field in Talmud, it raised new questions which have not been asked before and developed a sophisticated analytical legal thinking, which dealt with the analysis and definition of norms and legal-halachic concepts in Talmudic literature. All this turned the Yeshivoth into Talmudic law colleges. The book lists characteristics of the new study method through the teachings of Rabbi Shimon Shkop (1859-1939), one of the most original and influential rabbis in the Lithuanian Yeshiva world. For over fifty years Shkop taught the new study method he developed and the legal Fundamentals that explain the way Talmudic law worked, to a great many students in the Yeshivoth of Telšiai ,Malech, Brańsk and Grodno. The book examines key characteristics in the legal thought and theory of Rabbi Shimon Shkop and traces the similarities and differences between the legal thought of Yeshivoth as opposed to the West. It integrates issues of law, justice and culture, the history of Israel in modern times, history of ideas, philosophy of Halacha and Talmud study.
