What is Beyond a Code of Jewish Law : Rabbi Avraham Danzig’s Ḥayei Adam about?
The __Ḥayei Adam__, an abridged code of Jewish law, was written by Rabbi Avraham Danzig (1748-1820) and was first published in 1810. This code spread quickly throughout Europe, and the demand for it required a second publishing which the author printed in 1818. __Beyond a Code of Jewish Law__ attempts to understand the implicit message of its author and discuss various approaches of its writer to both Judaism and Jewish law. While the __Ḥayei Adam__ without any doubt unveils Rabbi Danzig to be a brilliant rabbinic scholar, with a comprehensive knowledge of Jewish law as well as a coherent and concise system of presentation, it also expresses his great concern for the Jewish community and each individual Jew. Aspects of this concern such as __Hasidism, musar, kabbalah__, are explored.
