Harrington","doi":"10.1163/_q3_com_00178","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1163/_q3_com_00178","url":null,"abstract":"This chapter discusses the Book of Ritual Purity (Sefer tohorah), which covers a large and complicated area of Jewish law that was once as important to observant Jews but has been mostly without practical application since the destruction of the Second Temple. It stresses Maimonides' point that the bar on admission to the Temple is the main consequence of most types of impurity. It also explains that the laws of purity and impurity demonstrate anticipation of the messiah and the Temple's reconstruction. The chapter describes the Book of Purity as part of a meaningful structure whereby Maimonides conveys what he sees as the timeless value of comprehending the Torah in its entirety as a system of divine law. It relates the Book of Purity to universal philosophical concepts.","PeriodicalId":236915,"journal":{"name":"Maimonides the Universalist","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122071182","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the same time, the production of automobiles, electrical appliances, and most other consumer durable goods—even including furniture—will of necessity have to be either virtually eliminated or seriously curtailed. Neither the materials, the machinery, nor the necessary manpower can eventually be made available for such output. Production of nondurables in all likelihood will be lower in the aggregate than during 1941. Wool supplies will be reduced, and this will possibly be the case with leather. Cotton and rayon output can be stepped up only to a limited extent, and silk goods production will largely be extinct. Pulp and paper output may decline slightly in the aggregate, and wide changes will occur in the relative importance of the various types and grades. On the other hand, chemical production is to expand very markedly, while the output of manufactured foods should also be increased. Insofar as the total of all industrial output is concerned, the net result of these various changes will be a further advance. Supply considerations are the only limiting factor. At present, raw material shortages and inadequate plant capacity for finished armaments retard the production advance as a whole. But the ultimate limit to output is furnished by the labor force. This—as shown in the discussion on labor—can support a further increase in aggregate production while supporting a large expansion of the armed forces.","PeriodicalId":236915,"journal":{"name":"Maimonides the Universalist","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117338957","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
