DESCRIPTION:‘Decree of Scripture’ (gezerat ha-katuv) is a salient\nconcept 
 in Jewish law (halakhah). Some of the Rabbis understand a\ncommandment whi
 ch is labeled gezerat hakatuv as arbitrary\nand a-rational (or irrational)
 \, i.e.\, as stemming from God’s\nultimate free will. How did Maimonides -
  the most important Jewish\nphilosopher and an extreme rationalist\, who i
 nsisted that all the\ncommandments have reasons - understand this concept?
  How did\nMaimonides\, the most important halakhist in the Jewish traditio
 n\,\nuse gezerat hakatuv in his halakhic writing? This question\ntouches o
 n both the issue of the consistency of Maimonides'\nthought\, as well as o
 n his view regarding the rationality of the\nLaw and the limits of that ra
 tionality.\n \n
