Understanding Halakhah requires appreciating the subtle interplay between
timeless principles and complex, ever-changing realities. The contemporary
student of Halakhah must assess not only the questions of today, but also anticipate the questions of tomorrow. In this volume of Contemporary Halakhic Problems, Rabbi J. David Bleich not only offers a compelling analysis of the principles and methodology of Jewish law, but also provides lucid summaries and analyses of classic halakhic questions together with pioneering applications of Jewish law to current social, political, technological and religious issues, such as:

  • Autonomous automobiles
  • Contemporary refrigerators
  • Coronavirus queries
  • Assignment of ventilators
  • Disposal of fertilized ova
  • Use of tobacco and cannabis
  • Civil divorce and mourning
  • Smoking on Yom Tov
