The Origins of Organized Charity in Rabbinic Judaism
Gardner, Gregg E. (University of British Columbia, Vancouver)
Charity is a central concept of Judaism and a hallmark of Jewish giving is to provide for the poor in collective and anonymous ways. This book examines the origins of these ideas in the foundational works of rabbinic Judaism, texts from the second to third centuries CE.
