With everything happening in the world today, it’s safe to say the we as frum jews have a lot of questions on how to correctly deal with these situations that come up in and day out.

Halacha Headlines Podcast features a weekly topic drawn from current events and matzavs, and with a panel of Rabbanim, discusses the best way we- as a klal, can approach contemporary society.

Some topics include Hafganos and racism, shidduchim and dating in the era of corona, mesira, vacations, life insurance, buying and selling stocks, police and police enforcement, the Israel UAE accord- all explored from halachic and hashkafic perspectives.

Needless to say, Halacha Headlines is more than necessary these days, and has given thousands the koach to approach modern situations more educated on the halachic implications. I think this is something everyone has to check out to hear for themselves.

    4/20/24 – Shiur 465 – Achdus - does “Achdus” mean I am supposed to embrace Jews I really don’t agree with?

    Is Achdus a Halachic imperative, a Hashkafic concept or something else?What’s the definition of “Achdus”? Is it different from “Kiruv”?Can we outwardly express our disagreements?Should we look to have Achdus with groups and movements of Jews who have values that are antithetical to Torah?

Amazing clarity

Love the shiurim! Long time listener! Always coming with clear halacha sources. Never afraid to take on hot button issues! Very interesting someone would leave a negative review because he disagrees with a show. Zionism is a very gray area. At best it’s a agadditah gemarah, as clearly explained in the show with world class talmidey chachamim. Very suprised somone would be עובר the issue of לשון הרע that is אסור מדאורייתא because of his opinion in a very gray area.

Review reaction

I just downloaded and am listening for the first time. I find the content to be both intelligent and engaging. But as I read the other reviews, I was most compelled by negative reviewers blasting the contributors for being “archaic”, “close-minded”, or “pro Rav Shach”. That’s when I knew that this is the podcast for me! Congratulations on finding the right perspectives to disagree with!
