Description

This episode features Rabbi Chaim Jachter's scholarly examination of the relationship between kashrus and personal trust in halacha (kim lei b’gavei). By introducing the recent Responsa Atzei Besamim (Y.D., no. 10), Rabbi Jachter investigates the parameters of trusting individuals with varying kashrus standards. His discussion addresses key issues, including The halachic implications of relying on others' assessments, the boundaries of dining in others' homes, and the general interplay between unity, inclusivity, and halachic adherence. Rabbi Chaim Jachter serves as a Rebbe at Torah Academy of Bergen County, Rav of Congregation Shaarei Orah the Sephardic Congregation of Teaneck, a Dayan on the Beis Din of Elizabeth NJ, advises more than sixty communities throughout North America with their Eruvin (including our own), and author of 19 sefarim...and today we get a sneak peak at his upcoming work on many pressing contemporary Kashrus issues.
