Rabbi Michael Broyde
Rabbi
Michael Broyde was ordained by Yeshiva University Yore-Yore
Yadin-Yadin and has been the Rabbi of the Young Israel since
its founding. He is also a Professor of Law at Emory University.
He has published more than 60 articles in various aspects of
Jewish law, and a number of articles in the area of Federal
courts, including an article in the Harvard Journal of Law and
Public Policy on the impeachment process. His first book, The
Pursuit of Justice and Jewish Law was published by Yeshiva University
Press and his second, Human Rights and Judaism by Aronson Publishing
House. He is the author of a recent article in the Connecticut
Law Review entitled "Cloning People: A Jewish View,"
and a recent book entitled Marriage, Divorce and the Abandoned
Wife in Jewish Law: A Conceptual Understanding of the Agunah
Problems in America published by Ktav. His current work is focusing
on areas of Jewish Family law, and commercial law, and he recently
completed a detailed mathematical analysis of Jewish lunar-solar
calendar, and its impact on notions of 'ease of use' as a mandate
of a legal system.
Rabbi
Broyde has been called by the Yeshiva University Review "the
most prolific scholar of comparative law and Halakhah working
in the United States today, and is considered by many to have
done the best work."
Michael
Broyde's primary interests outside the halls of academia and
the Young Israel are in Jewish law as practiced by its adherents;
as one of four members of the Beth Din of America, he is frequently
consulted by many different Rabbinical colleagues concerning
the details of Jewish law.
