Responsa and Halakhic Studies by Isaac Klein

Second revised and expanded edition, edited by David Golinkin and Monique Susskind- Goldberg, XXIV+239 pp., Jerusalem, 2005

This volume is a revised and expanded edition of Rabbi Klein’s responsa (Ktav, 1975), which is considered a classic example of Conservative responsa. Klein’s approach to Halakhah is flexible but fully grounded in the sources. He deals with topics such as civil marriage, abortion, autopsies, the kashrut of cheese, advertising practices and more. The chapter on euthanasia, written in 1978, was added to this edition.
