We are fortunate to witness a tremendous resurgence of interest in what traditional Jewish texts and authorities have to say on various current issues. This slim volume consists of six different articles on various unrelated practical topics relevant to our time. Rabbi Bassous has tried to quote as many pertinent sources as possible without losing the uninitiated reader. He hopes to address more issues in forthcoming volumes.
