Halachic World, Volume 2
Contemporary Halachic Topics Based on the Parshah
Where do the timeless words of Torah and the cutting edge of modern-day halachic questions meet? In this fascinating book, written by an eminent talmid chacham, contemporary halachic issues are explored against the backdrop of the weekly Torah portion. A wide-ranging variety of topics are featured here, all thoroughly examined in light of classic and contemporary Torah scholars. Can a passenger plane used by terrorists for mass destruction of human life be shot down by fighter jets? Is the blue marlin a kosher fish? And what, exactly, is an 'ayin hara'? It is no wonder this book received glowing recommendations from well-known rabbanim--it resonates with interesting, timely, and fundamental insights that every reader will enjoy.

Customer Reviews
- Even better than first volume!Having enjoyed the first volume immensely, I was excited to see that a volume 2 came out! It adds a great new set of unique and intriguing halachic topics tied into the weekly parsha, and has a handful of nice improvements over the 1st volume, including great footnotes for the sources, bibliography, and a glossary.
Like the 1st volume, each parsha has one or more chapters, with each chapter beginning with a short story. The story relates to the reader an example of when such a set of circumstances or a situation could come up in which the halachic topic discussed needs to be paskened or addressed. The author then brings the sources of the halacha, the various opinions from the poskim, and a conclusion.
This is a wonderful book that not only allows the reader to learn about halachic topics that aren't directly discussed in your average halacha sefer, but it also demonstrates how halacha is derived and applied to modern and/or exceptional situations.
I hope that there will be a volume 3 one day!Posted on
