Synopsis
As twenty-first-century Jews, we have become accustomed to using critical thinking to approach the world around us.

- May one act as an undercover agent in order to help the police apprehend drug traffickers?
- Is one permitted to interrupt his Shemoneh Esreh to run to a bomb shelter, when protected by the Iron Dome?
- What does the Torah say about standing up to bullies?
- Is it permitted to make human statues of sand or snow?
- Is a person permitted to trade himself on the stock market?
