Tekst achterflap

"Balberg has the rare ability to make an esoteric and complex subject approachable and captivating. This book is a tour de force that could significantly influence the study of Mishna, the philosophy of halakah, and our understanding of Rabbinic subjectivity. It is one of the smartest works on the Mishnha I have read."
--Ishay Rosen-Zvi, Tel Aviv University

"This book presents a new and striking understanding of rabbinic purity. It is a pleasure to read for the freshness of its ideas and insights; Balberg's interpretations are aptly put and incisively astute."
