Parsha:

Nitzavim,  Vayeilech 

Description

This past year, we have witnessed and experienced unprecedented circumstances that have required innovative halakhic thinking as poskim and as a people. Among them: "Am I allowed to travel back home from telling a family that their soldier son was killed in battle, if Shabbat has already begun?" "What are our obligations and prioritizations towards charitable giving, with thousands of Israelis still wounded, displaced, emotionally scarred, laid off, and grieving?" And so many more. While this opportunity arises from tragedy, it simultaneously demonstrates the beauty of the enduring relevance and eternality of our Torah traditions, and how they hold a message for every generation.
