End-of-Life

In partnership with the nationally acclaimed Chayim Aruchim organization, Kav Halacha maintains a dedicated line for the growing number of questions arising in End-of-Life situations including terminal care issues and Living Wills. The rabbonim responding to these shailos are prepared for the delicate nature of these questions and possess a deep understanding of the relevant halachos and the applicable secular laws governing patient rights.

General Shailos

Running the gamut from, “May I take a nasal decongestant on Shabbos?” to questions about the permissibility of experimental treatments for terminal illnesses to issues that arise in medical facilities, our Medical Halacha Division responds to thousands of shailos a year on medical matters encompassing every facet of halacha.

Fertility

The compassionate rabbonim who respond to these shailos on behalf of Kav Halacha have dedicated their lives to mastering this highly sensitive subject, with the goal of guiding every couple on this journey. Along with the general public, rabbonim and professionals dealing with these matters reach out daily to this division to seek clarity on every halachic detail of the fertility process from leading experts in the field.

Tefillin and Mezuzos

This Kav Halacha division is staffed with experienced sofrim mumchim and experts in Hilchos Mezuzah who can quickly address questions like, “I‘m on vacation, my tefillin fell on the floor and might have gotten chipped” or, “Does my shed need a mezuzah?” The poskim handling these questions have the capability to review pictures uploaded by the questioner, enabling them to issue instant rulings on these intricate matters.

Hashgacha

The evolving modern Kashrus landscape can be highly confusing for the average consumer. Many times, only Kashrus professionals with access to the latest information can answer questions such as, “Can I eat any fruits and vegetables sold in a supermarket in Eilat?” or “May I use the iodized salt that came in my Instacart order without any hechser?” Kav Halacha poskim, in coordination with leading Kashrus agencies across the world, respond to thousands of such questions, aiding the English-speaking public in navigating this highly complex area of halacha at home and abroad. Partner agencies include: CRC, Gateshead Beis Din, KCL, KOF-K, London Beis Din, OU, Star-K, and ZNT.

Sephardic Halacha

Often, there are divergences in psak between the classic Ashkenazic and Sephardic poskim. The Sephardic community boasts many knowledgeable poskim who are well-versed in Sephardic tradition of psak. Kav Halacha maintains a dedicated line manned by these poskim, to service the Sephardic public. This division alleviates any confusion on questions that may be dependent on the rich mesorah of Sephardic Jewry.

Monetary Halacha/ Ribbis

Detailed knowledge of how the business world operates and the intricate laws of these areas are prerequisites for the poskim answering the Kav Halacha Choshen Mishpat and Ribbis line. More and more people are calling with questions regarding operating e-commerce businesses on Shabbos and Yom Tov, as well as everyday Ribbis questions such as, “How do I structure my early-bird special sale?”
