Increasing Moral Capital Through Moral Imagination: Its Use For Jewish Ethics In a Time of Crisis , Moshe Pava
Description: There exists an ethical crisis in traditional Jewish communities. One way out of this crisis is for communities to embrace moral imagination. This paper suggests that moral imagination includes each of the following elements: 1. Importing, 2 Responsible Choosing, 3. Inventing, and 4. Interpreting. The paper defines each of these elements and demonstrates how they can be of practical use in solving contemporary problems.

Legal Floors and Moral Ceilings: A Jewish Understanding Of Law and Ethics , Dr. Eugene Korn
Description: This paper analyzes the relationship of formal halakhah to Jewish ethical values, arguing for the necessity of extra-legal hesed, identified as autonomous action above and beyond the requirement of law (‘lifnim mishurat ha-din’). On halakhic, theological and philosophic grounds, the essay attempts to refute the theory of hard halakhic positivism, which maintains that formal halakhah constitutes the sole legitimate constraint upon human conduct and denies room in Judaism for moral demands advanced by conscience.

You Shall Walk In His Ways , Dr.  Shalom  Rosenberg
Description: This essay examines "V’halakhtah B’drakhav" (Imitatio Dei) as the fundamental principle of Jewish ethics and the basis of halakhic morality. The principle is a meta-norm—a category by which Jewish legal rules, commands and prohibitions are to be judged—and is superior to the principles of "You shall love your fellow as yourself," (Lev. 19:18) identified as such by R. Akiva, and to "This is the record of Adam’s line," (Gen. 5:1) identified as such by Ben Azai. The author discusses these three principles as metaethical norms and their relationship to halakhah, demonstrating that the command to emulate God’s attributes is analytically tied to the concepts of humanity created in the image of God (Tselem Elohim), sanctifying God’s name (Qiddush Ha-Shem) and profaning God’s name (Hilul Ha- Shem). Unlike Lev. 19:18, its ethical significance is not utilitarian and points to human perfection. Its application has reference to gentiles, Jews and scholars.

Fixing God's Name , Professor B. Barry Levy
Description: The Name of God has received untold amounts of interest and awe since ancient times, but the oral and written forms in which it is expressed continue to evolve. Antiquity witnessed a global substitution of Adonai for the tetragrammaton of earlier biblical time, but many of our contemporaries have adopted a position that prefers to use this latter substitute only in liturgical contexts and to substitute Ha-Shem or other circumlocutions for it. These changes have led to the point where one can question whether Jews actually share a common designation for the one God they all worship.
