Dedicated to the major halakhic questions of our time, Halakhic Realities brings together rabbis, philosophers, scientists, and other professionals to explore the intersections of Jewish law and reality from several angles and multiple points of view.
This first volume examines the challenging topic of 'Brain Death' from multiple perspectives providing a comprehensive look at all the issues involved with unparalleled depth.
