About This Text

Author: Eliezer Berkovits
Torat HaHiggayon BaHalakhah (Logic in Halakhah) is a late 20th-century Hebrew work by Rabbi Dr. Eliezer Berkovits that analyzes talmudic and halakhic concepts through the lens of logic. Berkovitz examines talmudic concepts like indirect damage (dina degarmei) and cases like that of a person who throws someone else’s coin into the ocean, explaining them within a framework of causation theory.
