Unlike the canon law of Christian churches, the Talmud reaches no final conclusions and does not try to reconcile contrary opinions. One authority will claim that a wife has nothing of her own while her husband lives; another will argue that she is entitled to personal property for her private use. In the view of one lenient rabbi, the Sabbath was made for man; another will demand the strict observance of so many Sabbath regulations that they seem, says a Talmudic sage, "like a chain of mountains hanging on a hair."

Ex-Lawyer Pike quickly spied the flaw: distributing Communion could...

His vocal line, the essential element in bel canto, is lyrical, firm and without breaks. There are more sensual interpretations of the art, but few more satisfying...
