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":"5/2/26 – Shiur 558 – What's new with Chodosh II – Is there room for leniency?","slug":"5-2-26-shiur-558-what-s-new-with-chodosh-ii-is-there-room-for-leniency","published_at":"2026-05-01T12:19:21+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/halacha-headlines-1058028/5-2-26-shiur-558-what-s-new-with-chodosh-ii-is-there-room-for-leniency","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/halacha-headlines-1058028","url":"http://podcast.headlinesbook.com/e/42526-%e2%80%93-shiur-558-%e2%80%93-whats-new-with-chodosh-ii-%e2%80%93-is-there-room-for-leniency/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/8jmaywxt8ytsmg5f/Headlines_5-2-26.mp3","summary":"Find out from farmers what percent of grain in circulation is ChodoshHow to practically keep YoshonCan we rely on a dream of the Baal Shem Tov in Halacha?Is the dream accurate?What's called a Shaas Hadchak?Was the Heter only based on Shaas HaDchak?Does it make sense to be Machmir on Cholov Yisroel and be Meikel on Chodosh?Can you be Makpid on Chodosh only when you are home?And much more…… with Rabbi Mordechai Farkash – Chabad Shaliach, Rov and Poseik in Bellevue Washington – 24:25with Rabbi Zalman Graus – Dayan for over 50 years, Formerly Magid Shiur in Belzer Yeshivah, Editor of Otzar HaPoskim, Mechaber Seforim: Habori Vehashemoh; Kol Boi on Eiruvin; Milim shel Halacha - A dictionary of Halachic Words and more – 50:49with Mr. Randy Watson – Quality Control Stafford Mills – 1:06:09with Rabbi Beirach Steinfeld – Rov of Khal Dover Tov in Flatbush and head of Khal Dover Tov Kashrus, Halacha Columnist – 1:19:13with Rabbi Nechemia Salzman – Representative of Kemach – 1:32:54 מראי מקומות","meta_description":"Find out from farmers what percent of grain in circulation is ChodoshHow to practically keep YoshonCan we rely on a dream of the Baal Shem Tov in Halacha?…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":6359,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/halacha-headlines-1058028/episodes/5-2-26-shiur-558-what-s-new-with-chodosh-ii-is-there-room-for-leniency/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/halacha-headlines-1058028/5-2-26-shiur-558-what-s-new-with-chodosh-ii-is-there-room-for-leniency.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
