New from the Freehof Institute: our latest collection of articles and responsa: The Modern Child and Jewish Law, edited by Walter Jacob (Pittsburgh: Rodef Shalom Press, 2017, 230 + xi pp). The contents include:

“Boys Will Be Boys: Juveniles Then and Now” (Walter Jacob)
“Parents Blessing Their Children: The Minhag” (Ruth Langer)
“Child Abuse: A Study in Comparative American and Jewish Law” (Alan Mayor Sokobin)
“Educating Children: Responsibility of Teachers and Schools” (Brian Stoller)
“A Mitzvah of Inclusion: Halakhah Surrounding Special Needs Children” (Micah Streiffer)
“Halakhah as Translation: Custody of Children in Jewish Law” (Mark Washofsky)

Future posts will contain abstracts of these articles. But of course, it’s better to read the entire text! We’re working on digitizing our entire collection… keep checking this space for updates. In the meantime, the physical books are available free with a membership in the Institute.
