Airplanes and Halacha
When it comes to airplanes and halacha, there are many halachic issues that could arise. Join Rabbi Dr. Stuart Fischman as he explores a number or them including lack of kosher meals, the need to stand while praying, drinking a hot beverage, flying during a fast or while sitting shiva, shabbat, and more.

Hello Everyone.
Airplanes did not exist when our system of Halacha was codified, so it ought not to come as a surprise that there are disagreements among the Poskim on how to apply halachot to airplane travel.
Today we will see how Poskim answered the question if the “Traveler’s Prayer” -תפילת הדרך- may be said before flying.

Hello Everyone
Today we will begin and possibly complete a discussion of one of the most fascinating questions (in my opinion) in Halacha; “where is the Torah’s date line?”

Hello Everyone
Today we will talk about a question that provoked a great deal of controversy when planes were still flying here. It is the question of whether a man may sit next to a woman on an airplane.

Hello Everyone, Today we will not be talking about the airplanes and Halacha. Instead of that we will talk about what to do when you finally get off of the airplane and are hungry. Where may one eat if there are no certified kosher places to dine.

Hello Everyone
We have spoken about flight. Today we will speak about what happens when we arrive at our destination. It may happen that we arrive at a location far from the Equator where the sun sets late in the day. What then do we do about Shabbat? When does Shabbat begin and when does it end? We will speak about this today.
