The Discussions Begin With "What Are The
Parameters Of The Obligation To Guard
Health?" But Don’t End There."This incredible work - the fruit of many years of specialization in medical
halachah by the author - covers a wide range of topics, such as preserving
health and safety, mental health, technology, genetics, end-of-life issues,
and much more.In his encyclopedic and engaging style, Rabbi Cohn finds sources,
parallels, and examples from the length and breadth of Jewish life and
scholarship to illustrate contemporary questions and issues. Though
extremely practical, Healing in Halachah is not a common guide to medical
halachah; it is a unique, thought-provoking overview and appreciation of
these complex issues. Of great interest to patients, caregivers, and medical
professionals, this valuable work is an indispensable resource to all those
fascinated with Torah guidance in the realms of medicine and mental health."The purpose of this work is to open the eyes of the reader...and give direction
as to when and how to present questions to a halachic authority."
Rabbi Reuven Feinstein, Rosh Yeshiva, Yeshiva of Staten Island"Truly an amazing work!"
Rabbi Dovid Cohen, Rav, Bais Medrash Gevul Yaavetz"This is an important work, written with great depth, especially [regarding]
end of life according to halachah."
Rabbi Noach Issac Oelbaum, Rav, Kahal Nachlas Yitzchok
