Description
This volume is a revised and expanded edition of Rabbi Kleins responsa (Ktav, 1975), which is considered a classic example of Conservative responsa. Kleins approach to Halakhah is flexible but fully grounded in the sources. He deals with topics such as civil marriage, abortion, autopsies, the kashrut of cheese, advertising practices and more. The chapter on euthanasia, written in 1978, was added to this edition.
