VOLUME ONE OF THE SEXUALITY AND JEWISH LAW SERIES (SexualityandJewishLaw.com) EXPANDED EDITION, WITH INDEX (Third Edition, January 22, 2017) Since ancient times, Judaism has offered a wide range of approaches on the matter of sexual expression within marriage, reflecting a wide range of interpretation and sensibility, and theoretically enabling each and every couple to tailor the law of this most intimate, private part of life to the unique physical and spiritual dimensions of their relationship. But a study of the sources reveals a trend in the last few hundred years to downplay, or even deny, Torah’s embrace of sexual exploration within marriage, generally revealing to the masses only its most puritanical approach. This study opens up Judaism's sacred texts on sex to the English reader, providing an in-depth analysis of the relevant Talmudic-era passages as well as the medieval, post-medieval and latter-day Jewish commentaries and legal authorities.

What constitutes a halachic decision? How do we arrive at each conclusion? Why is the process so complex? In The Making of a Halachic Decision, Rabbi Moshe Walter leads us through the route that has been traversed through the ages by our greatest halachic decisors. Using a simple, straightforward style, Rabbi Walter explores the history of halachic decision making, beginning with the Rif and the Rambam and continuing through the Mishnah Berurah and contemporary halachic works. Comprehensive definitions of halachic terminology are elucidated, along with the laws of ruling on halachic queries and their application. Drawing on his broad background in Torah learning, Rabbi Walter illuminates the complex world of p sak halachah, complete with extensive footnotes for scholars and a glossary of names and terms for beginners. In this groundbreaking work covering a range of fundamental concepts, your questions on the halachic process will be acknowledged and examined, ultimately resulting in an infinitely deeper appreciation of the ins and outs of this area of Torah. "...This work will be a great benefit for both teachers and students. Rav Dovid Cohen, shlita Congregation G vul Yavetz, Brooklyn, NY

From the age of bar mitzvah, we pray at the amud. Yet many who do are unfamiliar with the halachos that apply to the sheliach tzibbur. This is especially true of those in mourning, who are suddenly and unexpectedly called upon to lead the congregation on a daily basis. Even those well versed in halachah are not always knowledgeable in these laws. At the Amud is designed to guide and familiarize the sheliach tzibbur with the halachos he needs to know to fulfill his obligation. It includes chapters on the halachos that apply to a minyan and to those saying Kaddish . The laws and minhagim of the daily tefillos, Kerias HaTorah and the different Kaddeishim are also discussed. Authoritative and fully annotated, with appendices and a useful index, this sefer is a must for every Jewish home.

As twenty-first-century Jews, we have become accustomed to using critical thinking to approach the world around us. Learning the News encourages readers to apply the same skills to the news stories they read through the lens of Torah. May one act as an undercover agent in order to help the police apprehend drug traffickers? Is one permitted to interrupt his Shemoneh Esreh to run to a bomb shelter, when protected by the Iron Dome? What does the Torah say about standing up to bullies? Is it permitted to make human statues of sand or snow? Is a person permitted to trade himself on the stock market?

In The Study of Talmud: Understanding the Halachic Mind, Rabbi Abraham Hirsch Rabinowitz, a distinguished scholar and author, explores halachah—its fundamental principles, thought processes, and premises—by looking at it through the eyes of a halachist. Based on the primary sources of halachah and the writings of its greatest interpreters, this insightful investigation into Jewish law enables the reader to understand halachah as a living, dynamic system that is as relevant to contemporary life as it was 2,000 years ago. By looking at such topics as the relationship of Torah and the secular world, the ethical bases of halachah, the Jewish legal system, the special laws pertaining to the land of Israel, and halachic authority and its transmission, Rabbi Rabinowitz exposes the halachic mind to readers who may not be familiar with the study of Talmud. Many questions are raised and discussed, including: Does halachah consider the individual to be creative and self-determining? How are the Bible and halachah related? Is halachah really able to deal with situations in the modern world? How is the study of Talmud pursued?
