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

“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 Yeshivah Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary
