Extract

While each of these three books is about Jewish ethics, they take very different approaches to the topic, serve different purposes, and speak to different audiences. If nothing else, they—and a number of other books about Jewish ethics published in recent years—collectively demonstrate that Jews are paying serious attention not only to the theological, legal, historical, social, and cultural aspects of Jewish identity, but also to the Jewish tradition's moral import.
