Jewish Law and International Law: Sovereignty and Exogenous Authority in a Transnational World with Michael Broyde moderated by Gabi Blum

In this talk about his new book, Michael J Broyde explains how he and his co-author Yehonatan Elazar-De Mota understand the methodological and jurisprudential parallels between Jewish law and international law. They envision how the two legal systems might collaborate to address global challenges and offer a nuanced understanding of Jewish law’s contributions to the broader legal landscape. Finally, Broyde and Elazar-de Mota analyze key areas including ethical considerations in wartime and intellectual property law.
