While Jewish tradition holds that the ideal religious leader is motivated solely by love of God, says Roth (law, Touro College, Huntington, New York), Jewish law never endorsed asceticism for rabbis, scholars, and judges; never permitted them to withdraw from the world into holy poverty; never sanctioned monastic orders. He explains how the law instead accounted for the conflict between meditating day and night and mundane necessities of seeking a livelihood and supporting a family.
