This book is a collection of the Responsa which Rabbi David Golinkin published in Moment magazine from 1990-1996. The goal of those columns was to show the way in which Jewish Law grapples with modern ethical and legal dilemmas such as Returning Territories for the Sake of Peace, Institutionalizing Parents with Alzheimer's Disease, Genetic Engineering, Is It a Mitzvah to Make Aliyah? and more. The book is organized according to the order of the Shulhan Arukh, the bibliography has been updated and a chapter was added on The Whys and Hows of Conservative Judaism.

This volume is a revised and expanded edition of Rabbi Kleins responsa (Ktav, 1975), which is considered a classic example of Conservative responsa. Kleins approach to Halakhah is flexible but fully grounded in the sources. He deals with topics such as civil marriage, abortion, autopsies, the kashrut of cheese, advertising practices and more. The chapter on euthanasia, written in 1978, was added to this edition.
