Sheilos and Teshuvos for Mesivtas

Now available for mesivtos, the Project Witness Sheilos and Teshuvos (Responsa) Unit is a masterful blend of intensive Torah learning, recognition of mesiras nefesh, and Holocaust information. 6 significant sheilos that were posed during the Holocaust are addressed. Included with the sheilah is the rabbinic answer, accompanied by the complex Torah reasoning that had elicited the answer. In addition, the background of Holocaust history that elicited the sheiloh is provided.
