This Sefer is the first in a series to compile various practical Halachic queries received by Harav Goldstein relevant to the various sections of Shulchan Aruch, and to document his responses. Many of the Halachos printed in this Sefer have featured on our Daily Halacha email and WhatsApp messages, and website. While all of our previous Sefarim have focused on organized Halachas according to subject, tackling an entire subject with all of its relevant details in an encyclopedic form, this book is novel in its format in the fact that it does not cover any given topic in the proper depth or organization that we've adapted in our previous books, and rather contains short answers and explanations to the various halachic questions received by Rabbi Goldstein throughout the chosen year. While on the onset this may seem to one's disadvantage, and certainly it is from the perspective of its lack of encyclopedic information and organization on the given subject, nonetheless its advantage is that it gives the reader a glimpse at how a Rav answers a Shaalah after having knowledge of all the information on the subject, and serves as a window into a Rav's dilemmas and arbitrations that he is faced with in a given halachic question, and as to how he navigates it and responds.
