“Overflowing with Torah… the author analyzes each sh’eilah in all its details…from the Rishonim and the poskim through modern-day poskim.”

Rav Hershel Schachter

“The author’s thought process is clear and his reasoning straightforward in arriving at halachah l’maaseh.”

Rav Asher Weiss

“This sefer has many interesting sh’eilos and teshuvos. Whoever wants to learn how to pasken sh’eilos will find it useful to learn from this sefer.”

Rav Dovid Cohen

“Ben chacham yismach av…This sefer is a collection of [the author’s] responses on the topic of moadim. I went through the entire sefer…everything is written in clear language. [The author] cites from Shas and poskim as well as provides his own chiddushim composed in the derech of the Torah. The subjects discussed are old and new, simple and complicated, and always interesting.”

Rav Mordechai Willing
