Indeed, this work is a testament to the timeless nature of Torah law in confronting even the most modern dilemmas.



PRAISE FOR THE FIRST VOLUME OF HEADLINES:

“Dazzling... The questions you discuss are extremely enlightening and stimulating... These are questions that engage thinking people, but rarely do the disputants delve into halachic sources... [This work shows] that the Torah speaks authoritatively to every age and every question.”

— Rabbi Nosson Scherman, Artscroll Publishing



“It is a great endeavor to show how Halacha addresses actual and practical matters, for this is the honor of Torah and the main purpose of Torah study.”

— Rabbi Herschel Schachter, Rosh Yeshiva, Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary
