Halakhic Loyalty – Between Openness and Closure / Avi Sagi - A groundbreaking philosophical analysis of halakhic faith and the dynamics of Jewish law in the modern era. Avi Sagi explores whether halakhic commitment requires doctrinal uniformity or allows for interpretive plurality. Is it possible to question or diverge from halakhic rulings while remaining loyal to the tradition? Engaging with major thinkers such as Maimonides, Rav Soloveitchik, Rabbi Kook, and Rabbi Moshe Feinstein, the book maps out a conceptual framework for understanding the evolving nature of halakhic authority. It offers a deep intellectual reflection on the boundaries of halakhic discourse and the tension between autonomy and tradition. Published by Bar-Ilan University Press, “Machshavot” series. Hardcover, 287 pages.
