The systematic and orderly presentation of the halakhah normative law of rabbinic judaism in its formative age makes its principal statements in response to a program of social reconstruction it speaks through the details of norms of law about the community israel. In the first part of the project on corporate israel and the individual israelite we ask where and how the halakhah sorts out the relationships of the individual and the community. Volume ii turns to relationships between israelites with particular attention to those that require resolving conflict volume iii raises the third and final question of the social order: god s role in society. For rabbinic judaism to be israel means to live in god s kingdom under god s rule in a very particular way. That imperative addresses not individuals alone or mainly but rather corporate israel that is the entire social order.
