Have you ever wondered why sometimes halakha seems immovable but other times it seems flexible and full of workarounds? 

We can't own hametz on Pesah so we just sell it to a non-Jew. First borns must fast on erev-Pesah, just make a siyum!

Rabbi Daniel Feldman explores these topics and more in his new book Letter and Spirit: Evasions, Avoidance, and Workarounds in the Halakhic System. But these aren't just distinct mechanisms to make a halakhic lifestyle easier, they are part of a broader and beautiful framework for a Jew to connect with Hashem.

Listen now as Rabbi Feldman share his Torah al regel ahat!
