Description

At the time of this recording the State of Israel faces a hostage crisis on an unprecedented scale. R. Johnny Solomon shares a responsum from Aseh Lecha Rav (7:53) who argues that state-based-needs require state-based-solutions - and what that means for the broader genre of responsa literature. Our prayer is that this discussion be rendered l'drosh u'likabeil sechar - purely theoretical - speedily in our days.
