Author Description

As Israel battles enemies on several fronts in the wake of the October 7th massacre, and Jews in the Diaspora face an upsurge of anti-Semitism and attacks, Rabbi Ryzman turns his scholarship to these issues. He researches, analyzes, and elucidates. And when he's finished, we have a clear understanding of the topic and an understanding of the various halachic approaches. May congregants bring firearms into shul? Should soldiers risk their lives to retrieve the bodies of dead comrades? May one take a picture of a terrorist on Shabbos? May the Shabbos be desecrated if there is only a slight suspicion of a terror attack? Rav Ryzman is a scholar, teacher, lecturer, author, and philanthropist. He is a winner of the Jerusalem Prize for his many Hebrew volumes of Ratz KaTzvi. His halachah shiurim in Israel and America are attended and acclaimed by renowned rabbinic leaders. He has a fertile mind, is an original thinker and has a passion to share his brilliance with others, through the written and spoken word. In this timely new volume, he sheds light on halachic issues behind the headlines.
