MAKING HALAKHIC DECISIONS IN A COMPLICATED WORLD

This is the talk that Rabbi Lookstein gave upon receiving his Honorary Doctorate from Bar-Ilan University. When he gave this talk then he shared a high-profile story of a Jewish conversion overseen by Rabbi Bulka. Since being the sponsoring Rabbi for the conversion of Ivanka Trump, he now has a personal story to tell.
