Touro University: Medical Halachah Annual, Volume 3 Hardcover, Feldheim

Questions of Jewish Law for Physicians, Patients, Students

The third volume of the acclaimed Medical Halachah Annual explores the intersection of timeless Jewish law and modern medicine.

Edited by Dr. Edward Lebovics, Interim Chairman of the Department of Medicine at New York Medical College, this volume delves into pressing halachic and medical dilemmas, including:

• The boundaries of code status and DNR orders

• Ethical and spiritual dimensions of Deep Brain Stimulation, IVF, and uterine transplants

• Halachic implications of GLP-1 agonists, bariatric surgery, and emerging genetic technologies such as BRCA testing

• Reflections on identity, autonomy, and personhood in an era of accelerating medical innovation

With contributions from leading rabbanim, physicians, and ethicists — including Rabbi Dr. Jason Weiner, Rabbi Shlomo Brody, Rabbi Yona Reiss, Dr. Jonah Rubin, and many others — Volume 3 continues the Annual’s mission: guiding clinicians, scholars, and lay readers through the evolving dialogue between Torah principles and modern bioethics.
