A Global Solution to a Global Need
The extraordinary growth of the worldwide Torah community has sparked within each of us a desire to properly follow every nuance of halacha. At the same time, life is becoming increasingly complex.
Together, these dynamics have resulted in an unprecedented volume of halachic questions.
While our wonderful community rabbonim do a fabulous job of being there for us, at times, one may not have immediate access to a rav.
At the same time, our rabbonim, too, need a resource to turn to access the information they need when faced with certain shailos,
It is with these realizations in mind that Kav Halacha emerged onto the scene – to ensure that every shailah is addressed by a world-class posek who delivers a world-class psak.
In just ten years, Kav Halacha has grown from a local community resource to a 24-hour-a-day international powerhouse with a network of over 100 rabbonim capable of responding to over 200,000 annual shailos in every area of halacha. Our rabbonim are spread over 5 continents and 7 time zones, and along with rabbinic coordinators, have the right people in place to answer every shailah.
Our Cutting-Edge Phone Line System
Kav Halacha uses customized technology to efficiently connect your questions to our impressive international network of experienced, caring, and knowledgeable poskim, who specialize in every imaginable area of halacha.
We calculate the precise number of rabbonim needed at any given time for each region. Even during peak call times (such as Erev Pesach or before a fast day), we make sure that there are always enough rabbonim available. When you reach out through any of the Kav Halacha regional phone numbers, the system directs your call to a rav who is on call. If multiple rabbonim are on call, it will ring simultaneously by each of them. Since the rabbonim graciously set aside time for Kav Halacha, calls are usually picked up as they come in.
If for whatever reason one rav is unable to take the call, it is then directed to other rabbonim, whether in the same or a different region, until the shailah is answered. This innovative and highly effective approach is in use 24 hours a day.
Kav Halacha works in partnership with leading organizations and experts in various halachic areas to answer specialized shailos – including a dedicated line for the Sephardic community, a Choshen Mishpat line with Dayanim, a Kashrus line coordinated with major Kashrus organizations, an end-of-life and medical halachic crisis line with Chayim Aruchim, and more.
While not a substitute for a personal rav, today, every frum Jew across the world can have the peace of mind of knowing that whenever he needs a shailah answered, Kav Halacha is there.
