Jewish law as rebellion : a plea for religious authenticity and halachic courage / by Lopes Cardozo, Nathan T.,author.(CARDINAL)359737;
"An unconventional approach to Jewish Law in its modern manifestations and how it responds to religious crises.

The book delves into the contemporary application and development of halacha and pointedly protests many accepted methods and ideals, offering new solutions to existing halachic dilemmas.

This movement is often identified as ?off the derech? (OTD), or off the path, with the idea that the ?path? is paved by Jewish law, rituals, and practices found within their birth communities. This volume tells the powerful stories of people abandoning their religious communities and embarking on uncertain journeys toward new lives and identities within mainstream society. Off the Derech is divided into two parts: stories and analysis. The first includes original selections from contemporary American and global authors writing about their OTD experiences. The second features chapters by scholars representing such diverse fields as literature, history, sociology, psychology, anthropology, religion, and gender studies. The interdisciplinary lenses provide a range of methodologies by which readers can better understand this significant phenomenon within contemporary Jewish society.
