The industry of software development is one that is extremely complex. Its intricate aspects are understood only by those in the industry and, as such, have led to significant issues which are overlooked by the consumer. Situations very often arise where unbeknownst to the consumer, he is given a product which is ill-suited to his needs. Oftentimes, the vendors themselves are unaware of these issues. These situations lead to some very serious Choshen Mishpat concerns which have not yet been adequately addressed. Additionally, there are a host of other standard industry procedures- some bordering on fraudulent- which raise considerable Halachic concerns.

In this ground-breaking sefer, the author, in consultation with prominent Rabbanim and Dayanim, explores the issues above as well as many other related topics in depth. The author is an experienced software engineer who has successfully designed and marketed cutting edge programs to major corporations. He is also a technology consultant and has advised and helped prominent businesses find solutions to their technological needs. With his years of experience in these fields, he has a vast knowledge and nuanced understanding of everything related to software design, marketing, purchasing and program implementation. As such, he is uniquely qualified to address these points from a variety of angles.

This eye-opening sefer contains a wealth of practical information which will be of great benefit to all those involved in programming, selling or purchasing software, as well as anyone looking to gain an understanding and awareness of the modern-day application of Choshen Mishpat. Learn More

The laws of benefitting from forbidden items in today's business world

Commerce and Issurei Hana'ah In the span of just a few years, the rapid advance of modern technology has changed the face of trade and commerce. Together with other changes in business, this has given rise to a host of issurei hana'ah related halachic questions not clearly addressed by previous poskim.

• a Jew, whose business offers chametz products on amazon, sells all his chametz to a gentile prior to Pesach. May he continue to operate his business on Pesach?
• Is it permitted to accept affiliate marketing revenues from the sales of issurei hana'ah?
• Is one permitted to purchase stocks in a company that buys and sells non-kosher food?
• Is there a halachically permissible way for a Jew to own a nursing home that serves its patients nonkosher food as well as issurei hana'ah?
• Is one permitted to purchase beer that was brewed in a Trappist brewery?

Following upon the success of his popular Commerce and Shabbos, Rabbi Yosef Kushnerclarifies these as well as hundreds of other issues in a relevant, clear, and concise way. Included in this work are many original p'sakim from the venerable rosh Kollel of Kollel Avreichim Institute for Advanced Judaic studies in Toronto and Av Beis Din of Bais Hora'ah of Lakewood, Hagaon Harav Shlomo Miller shlita. Commerce and Issurei Hana'ah, with its clear, down-to-earth style and comprehensive footnotes, provides informative answers for both the inquiring businessman as well as the accomplished scholar Learn More
