Learning the News – Halachic Perspectives on Current Events

description of book May one act as an undercover agent in order to help the police apprehend drug traffickers? Is one permitted to interrupt his Shemoneh Esreh to run to a bomb shelter, whem protected by the Iron Dome? What does the Torah say about standing up to bullies? Is it permitted to make human statues of sand or snow? Is a person permitted to trade himself on the stock market?   When reading the news, the Torah we learn enables us to bring the Jewish perspective to world events. This book presents news stories to readers and offers the Torah's perspective on them, through the writing of the gedolei ha'poskim.
