- Summary:
- Jewish custom and ritual, or their Hebrew equivalent, "minhag," has intrigued rabbis and scholars for generations. The majority of the rabbinical works devoted to "minhag" primarily encompasses lists of sources and reporting of old and new customs. In this work, Fishbane treats "minhag" from a socio-anthropological perspective.
