The Jewish Moral Virtues
The authors base their work on volume by the 13th century Yehiel b. Yekutiel b. Binyamin Harofe, Sefer Maalot Hamiddot (The Book of the Choicest Virtues), the first systematic, comprehensive and analytic treatment of the virtues that Judaism esteems. Using Yehiel's twenty-four categories, the authors effectively rewrite the book for contemporary Jews. Fleshing out each discussion is a rich assortment of classical Jewish texts on each of the virtues.  --Sh'ma, April 1999
