First published in 1953 Jewish Ethics presents a systematic account of ethics in Judaism. The main sources for a study of Jewish ethics are the Bible and Talmud. Rabbi Israel Mattuck discusses themes like theory of Jewish ethics; man and his moral freedom; ethical element in messianism; guides to righteousness; justice and love; truth and peace; social ethics; the judgment on war; ideas of marriage, family and divorce; and asceticism and the good life, without getting into comparisons between ethics of Judaism and of other religions. This compact book is a must read for scholars of Judaism, religion, and history of Judaism.
