The Laws of Nidah, Volume One

description of book A comprehensive exposition of their underlying concepts and applications. The previous works of Rabbi Binyomin Forst have established him as a halachic expositor of the first order. The laws of Nidah are a topic that is at the very basis of the Jewish family and nation. In this first of a two-volume set, basics such as the determination of periods, stains, and the halachic implications of modern medical procedures are discussed. It is typical of Rabbi Forst’s thorough and responsible approach to his readers that he begins with the basic rules and concepts underlying the laws. When one masters the concepts, the laws follow logically, because one will have acquired the knowledge that flows from understanding. Such knowledge enables one to break down a halachic problem to its essentials and make the correct decision. This book does not merely throw facts at the reader — it guides one through the halachic process so that he will know what is and what is not a problem, when he can rely on his own knowledge and when he must consult a qualified authority. Exhaustive yet clear, detailed yet easy to follow, this book belongs in every Jewish home and library.
