With All Your Possessions

Despite age-old slanders about Jewish economic and business activity, a highly ethical system of laws and customs has always been central to Jewish life. Noted economist and rabbinical scholar Meir Tamari explains that the moral and religious tenets of Judaism have, in fact, created a unique economic framework within which Jews have worked successfully for thousands of years, combining free market practices with social welfare, competition with compassion.

Dr. Meir Tamari is the Director of The Center for Business Ethics and Social Responsibility in Jerusalem. Dr. Tamari is the author of In the Market Place: Jewish Business Ethics, The Challenge of Wealth: A Jewish Perspective on Earning and Spending Money, and Al Chet: Sins in the Marketplace.
