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":"3/14/26 – Shiur 552 – Operation EPIC FURY in Halacha – Hear from boots on the ground","slug":"3-14-26-shiur-552-operation-epic-fury-in-halacha-hear-from-boots-on-the-ground","published_at":"2026-03-12T20:21:38+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/halacha-headlines-1058028/3-14-26-shiur-552-operation-epic-fury-in-halacha-hear-from-boots-on-the-ground","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/halacha-headlines-1058028","url":"http://podcast.headlinesbook.com/e/31426-%e2%80%93-shiur-552-%e2%80%93-operation-epic-fury-in-halacha-%e2%80%93-hear-from-boots-on-the-ground/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/etcyetz5zj4cqwwa/Headlines_3-14-26.mp3","summary":"Does collateral damage in war have a limit – can you destroy a missile base that will kill many civilians in the town nearby. Can you hit a nuclear reactor that will contaminate millions?Are citizens who support the regime considered combatants?What Issurim can you be Doche because of mental health – using phones on Shabbos, or other electric devices that will calm them down?
