The International Society for Science and Religion has selected Matters of Life and Death as an element of the ISSR Library. The mission of the ISSR Library is "to provide a comprehensive resource for scholars, students, and interested lay readers in the area of science and the human spirit."The incredible medical breakthroughs of today, like genetic engineering, in-vitro fertilizations, and cloning have transformed long-held beliefs on the nature of both life and death, raising difficult moral and religious questions. In Matters of Life and Death Elliot Dorff thoroughly addresses this unavoidable confluence of medical technology and Jewish law and ethics. Elliot N. Dorff, Rabbi (Jewish Theological Seminary), PhD (Columbia University), is rector and Sol and Anne Dorff Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at the American Jewish University (formerly the University of Judaism) in Los Angeles. Among the twelve books he has written are four award-winning books on Jewish ethics and law published by The Jewish Publication Society: Matters of Life and Death (1998) on Jewish medical ethics; To Do the Right and the Good (2002) on Jewish social ethics; Love Your Neighbor and Yourself on Jewish personal ethics; and For the Love of God and People: A Philosophy of Jewish Law (2007). He has also edited 10 books, including Contemporary Jewish Ethics and Morality (Oxford, 1995) and Contemporary Jewish Theology (Oxford, 1999), co-edited by Louis Newman, who also co-edited with Dorff the first three volumes of the Jewish Choices, Jewish Voices series. Since 1984, Rabbi Dorff has served on the Rabbinical Assembly's Committee on Jewish Law and Standards, and has served as its Chair since 2007. He has also served on several federal advisory commissions dealing with the ethics of health care, sexual responsibility, and research on human subjects. He is a member of the State of California's Ethics Committee on embryonic stem cell research. He is married to Marlynn, and they have four children and seven grandchildren.Binding Type: Paperback

My go to cozy blanket❤️✨

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 The Softest, Coziest Blanket Ever!
This blanket is pure comfort wrapped up in a gorgeous package. From the moment I touched it, I knew it was something special—so incredibly soft and plush, it feels like a warm hug every time I use it.
It’s the perfect size for curling up on the couch or adding an extra layer on the bed, and the fabric is breathable yet cozy, making it great for all seasons. I love how lightweight it is but still wonderfully warm without feeling heavy or stiff.
The quality is top-notch — after multiple washes, it’s stayed just as soft and hasn’t lost any of its fluffiness or color. Plus, the stitching is solid, so I can tell this blanket will last a long time.
Whether I’m binge-watching my favorite shows, reading a book, or just relaxing, this blanket makes everything feel a little more comfortable and cozy. If you want to treat yourself (or someone special) to a blanket that feels like a cloud, this is absolutely it!

Incredibly cozy and comfortable
Color: Ivory Checkered, Size: Throw(50"x70")
I’m really impressed with this soft throw blanket. The fabric is super plush and feels amazing against the skin. It’s just the right size for cuddling up on the couch, and it adds a nice touch of comfort without being too heavy. The material seems well‑made and built to last, making it a great value for everyday use.

Adorable and durable
Color: Lavender Heart, Size: Queen(90"x90"), Color: Lavender Heart, Size: Queen(90"x90")
I got this blanket in the queen size and it fits more than enough, if not more, across my queen sized bed. It's very soft, and holds up well in the washer and dryer. I havent witnessed any shedding after washing it. A very nice blanket, especially to use during the colder months!
