520 "As government by the people, democracy has always had its
proponents as well as opponents. What forms of government
have Jewish leaders, both with and without actual
political power, favored? Not surprisingly, many options
have been offered theoretically and in practice. Perhaps
more surprisingly, democracy has been at the heart of most
systems of governance. Biblical Israel was largely a
monarchy, but many writers of the Bible were critical of
the excesses that almost always arise when human kings
take charge: the general populace loses its freedom. In
rabbinic Judaism, the majority ruled, and many principles
that support modern democratic institutions have their
basis in interpretations offered by the classical rabbis.
This is true even though rabbinic Jews did not govern
democratically. When Jews did have some degree of self-
governance, democratic principles and institutions were
often upheld. At the same time, so most communal leaders
insisted, God--the ultimate judge--ultimately judges
everything and everyone. Modern Israel provides the first
instance of an independent Jewish nation since the
Hasmonean monarchy of the second and first centuries BCE.
On an almost daily basis, common features uniting
democracy and Judaism, as well as flash point of
controversy, are highlighted there. The fourteen scholars
whose work is collected here are mindful of all of these
circumstances--and many more. In a style that is
accessible, clear, and balanced, they allow readers to
assess these issues based on the most current thinking.
This volume is required reading for anyone interested in
how religion and politics have interacted, and continue to
interact, in Judaism and among Jews"--|cProvided by
