Equality Lost: Essays in Torah Commentary, Halacha and Jewish Thought

by Yehuda Henkin

Finally, a posek (a recognized expert in Jewish Law) has written a book in English illustrating the depth of feeling and nuances of Halacha (Jewish Law) in addressing crucial issues of our time. Rabbi Yehuda Henkin delves into the areas of Torah Commentary, Halachah, and Jewish thought to re-examine topics like Peshat and Midrash, women's obligations and role in community prayer, the issue of killing captured terrorists, what it means to be Glatt kosher, and why the second Temple was destroyed.
