This new volume contains more than three hundred responsa (sheloth u-teshuvoth) dealing with Jewish Education in Jewish Mediterranean communities and in the lands of the East. Timely issues in education are documented and annotated concerning the status of the Jewish teacher, the roles and status of women, teacher salaries, curriculum studies and much more. Stemming primarily from rare first editions, this Hebrew book opens a new window to Jewish Education from the sixteenth century to the beginning of the twentieth century in the eastern countries.

Among his recent publications are the books: Education in Light of Israeli Law and Halachic Literature (Jerusalem 1999-2000). He also edited and annotated the Simcha Assafs` Mekorot le-Toldot Hachinukh Be-Yisrael – A Source-Book for the History of Jewish Education from the beginning of the Middle Ages to the Period of the Haskalah.
