Headlines 3 - Halachic Debates of Current Events

In a rapidly changing world, Orthodox Jews turn to halacha as both their anchor and their source of guidance for navigating the increasingly complex life that we live, with the firm, passionate belief that our ancient texts are no less relevant now than they were millennia ago. Headlines 3, like the first two volumes, presents a variety of case studies showing just how true this is, exploring the application of timeless halachic and ethical principles to the problems and issues facing 21st-century society, including burning topics such as racism, the role of women, and the coronavirus pandemic.

“In an increasingly polarized and politicized world, R’ Dovid Lichtenstein’s consistent coverage of the Headlines of our day from the perspective of Torah, Halacha, faith, and values is not only refreshing and informative but critical. Each episode and every chapter challenges us to consider multiple and diverse points of view, all bound by a fidelity to our Torah and Mesorah.
R’ Dovid’s extraordinary knowledge, combined with his insatiable thirst to listen, learn, and consider make us all both more informed and more inspired.”
— Rabbi Efrem Goldberg, SENIOR RABBI OF BOCA RATON SYNAGOGUE
