Between the Laws of God and Man

World Religions

“Jewish people have lived for centuries under the dual imperatives of an encompassing religious legal system (known as halacha) as well as the civil laws of the countries in which they reside. In this book, Travis takes on some of the practical and philosophical questions this situation raises for religious Jews who seek to be good citizens of both worlds in the US and beyond. Readers may be intrigued not only by the Jewish example, but by potential analogies and lessons for other groups who strive to reconcile their dual commitments in this way.”
