Halakhic Positions of Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik (Volume 2)

In Halakhic Positions of Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik, insights into Jewish law from the preeminent figure of twentieth-century modern Orthodoxy are presented in a clear and concise manner. Commonly known as _the Rav,_ Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik, zt_l, has stimulated and influenced the intellectual mind and touched the sensitive hearts of thousands of people. While he was not necessarily known as a decisor, or poseik, of halakha, he was widely recognized as an individual who had the uncanny ability to conceptualize the spirit of Jewish law on a universal level. Throughout his lifetime, the Rav published few works, transmitting his Torah knowledge through classes and lectures instead. As a student of Rabbi Soloveitchik for many years, Rabbi Aharon Ziegler accumulated a vast library of notes and tapes on the Rav's halakhot. In this volume he shares the Rav's unique and perhaps lesser known halakhic positions on a wide range of topics.Aharon Ziegler is the author of 'Halakhic Positions of Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik (Volume 2)', published 2001 under ISBN 9780765761781 and ISBN 0765761785.
