Argues, based on the Rabbinic textual tradition, especially the Babylonian Talmud, and utilising French Jewish philosopher Emmanuel Levinas’ framework of interpersonal ethics, that a just city should be a community of obligation. That is, in a community thus conceived, the privilege of citizenship is the assumption of the obligations of the city towards Others who are not always in view.
