Halacha Headlines Podcast features a weekly topic drawn from current events and matzavs, and with a panel of Rabbanim, discusses the best way we- as a klal, can approach contemporary society. Some topics include Hafganos and racism, shidduchim and dating in the era of corona, mesira, vacations, life insurance, buying and selling stocks, police and police enforcement, the Israel UAE accord- all explored from halachic and hashkafic perspectives. Needless to say, Halacha Headlines is more than necessary these days, and has given thousands the koach to approach modern situations more educated on the halachic implications. I think this is something everyone has to check out to hear for themselves.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-19T12:20:57.344076+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/halacha-headlines-1058028"},"episode":{"title":"1/24/26 – Shiur 545 – Join the Headlines $3,000 challenge – Solutions to Break the Phone Habit","slug":"1-24-26-shiur-545-join-the-headlines-3-000-challenge-solutions-to-break-the-phone-habit","published_at":"2026-01-23T00:03:56+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/halacha-headlines-1058028/1-24-26-shiur-545-join-the-headlines-3-000-challenge-solutions-to-break-the-phone-habit","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/halacha-headlines-1058028","url":"http://podcast.headlinesbook.com/e/12426-%e2%80%93-shiur-545-%e2%80%93-join-the-headlines-3000-challenge-%e2%80%93-solutions-to-break-the-phone-habit/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/qnrejzumftwzy3au/Headlines_1-24-26.mp3","summary":"What practical strategies can help us reduce phone usage and establish healthy boundaries?
