Kav Halacha, started over a decade ago, primarily serving the English-speaking communities who were seeking Rabbonim that spoke their familiar tongue. However, when calls started flowing in from the United States, Canada, the UK, Kav Halacha decided to broaden their horizons, offering their service at new shores all across the globe. 

As the years went by, it became clear that besides for providing a solution for the great demand for English-speaking Rabbonim, Kav Halacha was solving additional issues as well. Shailos are often time-sensitive, a shailah can crop up at 3 a.m., when most Rabbonim are fast asleep; what is a Yid supposed to do in a situation like that?  

In addition to this, there are many scenarios where people avoid asking Halacha shailos simply because they are uncomfortable, or they just don’t know who to turn to. These cases often involve mental health, fertility, family life and medical issues. Recognizing the need for training in the various factors that can affect such shailos, Kav Halacha began to offer its Rabbonim opportunities to gain proficiency in the proper methods for handling these issues. Senior Poskim and professionals—well-versed in the fields of medicine, mental health, fertility, and other major issues—have graciously shared their expertise, developing Kav Halacha into a key resource for training Rabbonim.   

A reliable Halacha hotline like Kav Halacha provides callers with timely responses for important questions no matter where, no matter when. It was for this purpose that the founders of this fundamental service decided to take what they started in Eretz Yisroel and share it with the world. 

“It is important to note,” stresses Rabbi Shimon Sofer, Kav Halacha’s Executive Director, “that Kav Halacha’s goal is not to supersede the need for a personal Rav. Their primary mission is to provide solutions when calling your Rav is not an option at that specific time.” In fact, Kav Halacha’s Rabbonim are adept at detecting the nature of a caller; if they feel that it would be beneficial for him to reach out to his own Rav, they would instruct him to do so. They have actually aided many Yidden in the process of finding a local Rav that they can call their own. 

With Rabbonim now answering calls in Lakewood, New York, Eretz Yisroel, Los Angeles, London, Melbourne and Johannesburg, there’s practically no time frame that a shailah cannot be asked. Poskim from around the world are now available to provide answers for all who seek Halachic guidance at any time of the day or night, in any location on the world map.
