Introduction

The purpose of this blog is not to provide halachic rulings.  And this is not just a disclaimer; rather, the point of this blog is to provide people with an appreciation of the complexity of the sugya behind the ruling on even a simple question.

 

In writing this blog, not only will I not concern myself with the halachic accuracy of what I write, in many cases I will write things that I know are against the generally accepted view of the poskim.  My goal will be to present a comprehensive, straightforward, and legitimate look at the sugya as a whole, even when this contradicts the final halacha.  For a final ruling, I recommend that you talk to a COR (Competent Orthodox Rabbi).
