“Highly original and a delightful study…” — Rabbi Dovid Cohen, Gvul Yaavetz, Brooklyn, NY

“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, Mesorah Publications

“It is a great endeavor to show how halachah addresses actual and practical matters, for this is the honor of Torah and the main purpose of Torah study.” — Rabbi Herschel Schachter, Rosh Yeshivah Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary
