Overview

""The Jewish Law of Theft"" provides a comprehensive and scholarly analysis of the legal principles governing misappropriation of property within the framework of Jewish jurisprudence. This work meticulously examines the evolution of laws from their biblical origins through the complex interpretations found in the Talmud and subsequent rabbinic literature. Moses Jung explores key concepts such as the technical definitions of theft (genevah) and robbery (gezelah), the distinction between private and public property, and the specific penalties or restitutions required under Halakhic law. By comparing these traditional statutes with other historical legal systems, the author highlights the unique ethical and social foundations of the Jewish legal tradition. The text serves as an essential resource for students of theology, law, and history, offering deep insights into how ancient mandates were adapted to meet the demands of evolving societal structures. This study remains a significant contribution to the field of comparative law and Jewish studies, providing a clear window into the judicial processes and moral philosophy that have shaped one of the world's oldest legal systems.
