This book includes descriptions of fifty fragments of rabbinic responsa from
the Ottoman Empire sages (16th-19th) found in the Elkan Nathan Adler Cairo
Genizah Collection at the JTS Library. The responsa reveal new matters, which
had not been dealt with in the past either in halakha, or in Talmudic exegesis.
These responsa offer fertile ground for research in all manner of disciplines,
from the interpretation of Jewish Law to the wider social, cultural and legal
history of the Jewish Communities of the Mediterranean and Near East.
The book can be ordered by Phone: ++972-2-5631288, by Fax: ++972-2-5636857
