These essays reflect the author's lifelong interest in the history of halakhah, asking what happens when strong forces impinge on halakhic observance, forcing adaptation to new circumstances. The essays cover usury, moneylending, and pawnbroking; Gentile wine; and the self-image of the Ashkenazic community, and show that the line between adaptation and deviance is a fine one.
