What if…
… a mohel is running late, and the bris will not be performed on time unless he breaks the speed limit on a major highway?
… a person buys a hat, and the “cashier” turns out to be a thief who had simply sat at the cash register - does he have to pay the store again?
… a man hired to say Kaddish does so faithfully, and finds out at the end of eleven months that he’s gotten the name of the deceased wrong?
These are all true stories. All real-life halachic questions. And all absolutely fascinating.
