Drawing on writings in the Torah, Talmud, and halakhah (religious law), this book is the outgrowth of Rabbi Meir's weekly syndicated column, also called The Jewish Ethicist. Although the religious laws are obligatory only for Jews, the principles are universal. Included are discussions of such topics as business and consumer ethics (trading on the stock market, human resources, marketing and selling), an obligation to vote and pay taxes, bribery, dating, and ethics in the doctor's office, in educational institutions, and on the Internet. Meir is research director at the Business Ethics Center of Jerusalem. The book is an important source of ethical insights for Jews and non-Jews alike. George Cohen
