Description

Methodology of Psak (Yeshivat Har Etzion): This shiur explores how aggadic texts factor into halachic decisions. It touches on issues of praying for sick people to die, withholding lifesaving treatment, being intimate during wartime, yeshiva students being drafted, and IVF. Note that this shiur dealt with test cases. The more theoretical discussion can be found in my summary on http://shaashuim.wordpress.com/.
