Synopsis

The Kohen's unique status in Jewish life, the respect that is his due, and the obligation to guard his purity are unknown to large numbers of otherwise knowledgeable Jews. ,

This is a step-by-step guide with photographs, illustrations, "deeper-look" boxes, brief stories, and real life examples that identify common problems and offer practical solutions to the halachic issues faced by as many as one in ten Jews today.

Topics include:

  • When and how must a kohen visit an cemetery?
  • What precautions should be taken when visiting a hospital?
  • On which roads is a kohen forbidden to travel?
  • How must a kohen deal with flying on an airplane?
  • How must one honor a kohen?

    The authors established the International Taharas Hakohanim organization. Leading halachic authorities have endorsed the Hebrew edition on which this book is based.
