Halachic Q&A on the Job

Halachic Q&A on the Job is the first-ever responsa (sh’eilos u’teshuvos) for those working in the secular world.

Expecting the unexpected is crucial when you work in the secular workspace, and preparation is key. Readers now have the opportunity to learn the broad range of halachos that are relevant to the workplace presented in these pages. Included are seventy actual, common, and fascinating questions from Jews around the world. Each responsum is divided into three parts — the question, the halachic background, and the answer — making this volume perfect for personal study, chavrusa learning, shiur preparation, and Shabbos discussions with family and friends.

“Interspersed with the detailed, technical, and accurate halachic discussions are many beautiful philosophical and spiritual insights…so the reader sees not only the trees but the overall forest. This is a phenomenal book that is destined to be a classic. Every reader can learn and benefit from this outstanding presentation — from beginners to accomplished talmidei chachamim and poskim.”

Rabbi Yitzchak A. Breitowitz, Rav, Kehillas Ohr Somayach
