520 |a In this article, I will discuss a group of talmudic laws from an environmental perspective, thereby adding to the standard legalistic approach. I wish to highlight how the purpose behind these laws is to design cities in the land of Israel as ideal localities from an environmental perspective and in terms of standard of living. In their original formulation, only a number of these talmudic laws were limited to the cities in the land of Israel. However, later legal authorities applied this locality limitation to many of the other “environmental” laws as well. This understanding emerged during the period of the rishonim, the medieval legal authorities, and it is quite possible that they were influenced by the above-mentioned talmudic understanding that environmental laws are aimed at preserving the ideal environment and unique character of a very specific place, the land of Israel, and therefore did not necessarily apply to cities outside of that place. Nevertheless, it is possible to use these talmudic directives in order to lay the foundation for a broader global environmental system.
