The Theory Behind Jewish Law w/ Prof. Chaim Saiman

from The Fifth Question · host Daniel Levine

I speak with Villanova Law Professor Chaim Saiman about his book Halakhah: The Rabbinic Idea of Law. We explore how halakhah functions not just as a legal code but as a mode of religious and intellectual engagement. From Talmudic argumentation to modern legal theory, Saiman unpacks what makes Jewish law unique.#JewishLaw #Halakhah #ChaimSaiman #JewishStudies #LegalPhilosophy #RabbinicLaw #Talmud #Judaism #ReligionAndLaw #PodcastInterviewFacebook: / daniel.levine.31 Instagram: / rabbidaniellevine #Zionism #hillel #Judaism
