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":"3/7/26 – Shiur 551 – Inside Orthodox Schools: Who gets hired, which students get admitted and who makes the decisions?","slug":"3-7-26-shiur-551-inside-orthodox-schools-who-gets-hired-which-students-get-admitted-and-who-makes-the-decisions","published_at":"2026-03-05T20:29:53+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/halacha-headlines-1058028/3-7-26-shiur-551-inside-orthodox-schools-who-gets-hired-which-students-get-admitted-and-who-makes-the-decisions","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/halacha-headlines-1058028","url":"http://podcast.headlinesbook.com/e/3726-%e2%80%93-shiur-551-%e2%80%93-inside-orthodox-schools-who-gets-hired-which-students-get-admitted-and-who-makes-the-decisions/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/q9txnua4ba3kgbqx/Headlines_3-7-26.mp3","summary":"Can a family member who is less qualified be hired before a more qualified candidate?Must admissions be based on merit?When is nepotism allowed?Can the Menahel/Principal keep any donations (bribes?) made to him personally?
