“The divrei Torah anthologized in this volume ... seek to address many serious, seminal halachic and hashkafic topics and issues in a timeless, yet timely, fashion without sacrificing the requisite breadth or depth.” —Rav Mayer Twersky This volume is comprised of Torah essays, by Rav Hershel Schachter and Rav Mayer Twersky, which not only provide insight into the parsha and halacha, but also teach us what the Torah’s attitudes are and how we should apply them to the many challenges we encounter throughout our lives. The approach which has educated and uplifted talmidim of Rav Schachter and Rav Twersky for decades is captured here for all of us to learn and grow from. TorahWeb (a not-for-profit, volunteer organization) was created in 1999 to provide unfettered access to the guidance of leading talmidei chachamim. This sefer is the latest vehicle through which TorahWeb is pursing that mission.

Halachic Debates of Current Events World events are catalysts for all sorts of change. Headlines 2: Halachic Debates of Current Events, a sequel to the highly acclaimed first volume of Headlines, is a halachic analysis of some of the most notable issues in current events. With its remarkable array of Torah sources, and including radio interviews with leading halachic experts, Dovid Lichtenstein's book will fascinate both laymen and scholars interested in contemporary halachic issues. 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 APPROBATIONS FOR THE AUTHOR'S MISHNA ACHARONA: "I was very happy to see selections of your new book... discussing contemporary issues that were not explicitly addressed by the earlier generations; it is beneficial to present the relevant sources...

May you continue to open new, pleasant vistas of Torah in future publications." - Rabbi Raphael Shmuelevitz, YESHIVAS MIR YERUSHALAYIM, ISRAEL "The author, with much wisdom, succeeded both quantitatively and qualitatively in setting forth all [relevant] opinions." - Rabbi Zalman Nehemia Goldberg, JERUSALEM, ISRAEL

Clarifying Fundamental Topics in Shas Lamdeni Chukecha

Unknown, Author

It is the spring of 1811.
Rebecca Lyon and her family eagerly welcome Miss
Elisheva Taylor and her brother Gabriel, a young
physician, into their genteel London Jewish community. Yet
the Taylors have barely acclimated to their new society when
a mysterious and devastating illness strikes Mr. Taylor's
patients, from the elderly Lady Marblehead to the povertystricken
young orphans under his care...and it seems that
they are being poisoned!
Is the new doctor to blame? Mr. Ezra Melamed, wealthy
patron of the Jewish orphanage, would like to believe in Mr.
Taylor's innocence. But with all fingers pointing his way, it
will be difficult to prove that Mr. Taylor is the sincere man of
medicine he portrays himself to be. Mr. Melamed's only clues
are a mysteriously missing will, an old clothes man's bundle,
and a cryptic letter from a Chassidic rebbe... Can he uncover
the truth before the rest of London is poisoned too?
The Disappearing Dowry, the first book in the Ezra
Melamed Mystery Series, won a 2010 Sydney Taylor Notable
Book Award. In The Ruby Spy Ring, Regency England again
comes to life in a dramatic tale of false accusations and longlost
relatives. Acclaimed author Libi Astaire has done it
again in this third book in the series, combining the charm of
historical fiction with the intriguing twist of a Jewish mystery.
