With Liberty and Justice explores the link between Passover and Shavuot—and the connection between the concepts of liberty and law. Charting the fifty-day period between the two holidays, Senator Lieberman and Rabbi Kahn present fifty short essays arguing that the Exodus on Passover remains incomplete without the Revelation on Shavuot. Drawing on the Bible and rabbinic literature, U.S. politics and modern legal theory, Jewish humor and American folklore, the authors follow the annual journey from Egypt to Sinai, illustrating that there can be no liberty without law, no freedom without justice.
