Journal of Halacha and Contemporary Society
- Journal of Halacha and Contemporary Society
The "Journal of Halacha and Contemporary Society" is a semiannual, Orthodox Jewish, academic journal published by Rabbi Jacob Joseph School twice annually and as of 2004 edited by Rabbi Alfred Cohen. As its title implies, it is devoted to the interface between "halacha" (Jewish law and ethics) and modern society; thus, some articles will discuss how recent scientific developments are viewed by "halacha" while others may examine modern trends in Jewish life.
A frequent contributor is Fred Rosner, writing about medicine; another is the editor. According to the masthead, all articles are vetted by halachic authorities.
