Frequently Asked Questions
What is Halacha.life?
Halacha.life is a digital platform designed to help Jews access Halachic guidance more easily. It allows you to ask questions, explore perspectives from different Rabbinic traditions, and generate shiurim and summaries — all in a respectful, Torah-first environment.
Is this a replacement for asking my Rabbi?
No. Halacha.life is not meant to replace your personal Rav. It is a supportive tool — a way to learn, explore sources, understand opinions, and prepare thoughtful questions before or alongside speaking to a Rabbi you trust.
Who are the Rabbis and scholars on the platform?
The Rabbis, sages, and scholars represented on Halacha.life reflect recognized Jewish traditions and approaches — including classical authorities and contemporary streams. Their responses are generated with deep respect for Halachic methodology, sources, and Jewish values.
Can I see different opinions on the same question?
Yes. One of Halacha.life’s strengths is showing multiple perspectives. You can consult a single Rabbi, ask a group, or watch a panel discussion where differing views are presented clearly and respectfully — just as they are in real Torah discourse.
What kinds of questions can I ask?
You can ask about:
-
daily Jewish practice
-
Shabbat and Yom Tov
-
kashrut
-
family and lifecycle events
-
ethical and modern-day dilemmas
-
learning topics and shiur creation
If you’re unsure who to ask, we can help assemble the right voices for your question.
Is Halacha.life only for religious Jews?
Not at all. Halacha.life is for any Jew seeking understanding — whether you are deeply observant, traditionally connected, exploring your identity, or simply curious. Questions are welcomed respectfully, without judgment.
How accurate are the answers?
Answers are generated using structured Halachic reasoning, classical sources, and established Rabbinic approaches. Still, Halacha.life is a learning and guidance tool, not a final Halachic ruling. For practical decisions, you should always consult a qualified Rabbi.
Can I create shiurim for teaching or learning?
Yes. You can generate shiurim tailored by topic, date, country, audience, and duration. This is especially useful for Rabbis, educators, and learners who want to prepare Torah content quickly while maintaining depth and clarity.
Is my privacy respected?
Absolutely. Questions are treated with care and discretion. We do not publicly associate questions with individuals, and the platform is designed to allow learning without discomfort or exposure.
What is the vision behind Halacha.life?
Our goal is to strengthen Jewish learning, make Halacha more accessible, and support Rabbis by giving them tools to teach, respond, and guide more effectively — while helping Jews feel connected, informed, and confident in their questions.
