Title: Jewish responses to AIDS
Description: Like any novel societal phenomenon, the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) pandemic forced Jewish thinkers - rabbis, physicians, philosophers, and others - to examine whether this scourge raises new issues or problems for Judaism. The present volume provides a fairly full picture of the responses AIDS has solicited within Judaism on the theological, ethical and halakhic planes.

The volume consists of a comprehensive introduction by the editor, followed by almost all major texts bearing on AIDS and Judaism published between 1986 and 1995 in the United States, United Kingdom and Israel.
Subjects: Judaism, Medical laws and legislation (Jewish law), Medicine, Medical ethics, Jewish ethics, AIDS (Disease), Religious aspects, Religion and Medicine, HIV Infections, Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome
