Synopsis
Finally, a posek (a recognized expert in Jewish Law) has written a book in English illustrating the depth of feeling and nuances of Halacha (Jewish Law) in addressing crucial issues of our time. Rabbi Yehuda Henkin delves into the areas of Torah Commentary, Halachah, and Jewish thought to re-examine topics like Peshat and Midrash, women's obligations and role in community prayer, the issue of killing captured terrorists, what it means to be Glatt kosher, and why the second Temple was destroyed.

What Reviewers Are Saying
"It is a pleasure to learn with Henkin, who uses accessible language and whose arguments and deductions are often delightful. The title essay relates to the problems some people have regarding feminism and the needs of learned women. All in all, there are six essays [of fifteen] concerning women's issues, none of which contains apologetics. Study groups will find much material here to fill hours of discussion." Gael Hammer, Australian Jewish News " Equality Lost is a book of importance for the Modern Orthodox community, opening a window into the thought and rulings of this serious, sensitive posek [a recognized expert in Jewish Law] . . . . It is because of him, and the few others like him, that important issues for the Modern Orthodox community are being addressed in a serious halachik manner." Rabbi Dov Linzer, The Edah Journal
