"Rabbi Kaganoff, an esteemed talmid chacham and posek in Jerusalem, has been writing a halachah column for many years, addressing a wide range of contemporary issues such as kashrus, business ethics, buying life insurance ... and many, many more. Rabbi Kaganoff leads the reader with gentleness and clarity through all the relevant sources from the Gemara through the most recent teshuvos. His essays are thorough, well-organized and delightful to read. They are also genuinely helpful in the practical, l'maaseh sense. It is a cause for celebration that these essays are being republished in book form so that they may be preserved in a more permanent medium. The attentive reader will gain much -- not only in halachah but in understanding the process through which halacha is derived."
-- Rabbi Yitzchok Breitowitz, Maggid shiur, Yeshivas Ohr Somayach, and Rabbi Emeritus, Woodside Synagogue, Silver Spring, Maryland

Born in Washington, DC, and raised in New York City, Rabbi Yirmiyohu Kaganoff attended Ner Israel Rabbinical College in Baltimore, Maryland, where he received a bachelor's degree in 1976, semichah in 1977, and a doctorate in Talmudic Law in 1981. In 1982 he assumed the rabbinate of the Young Israel of Greater Buffalo, a position he held until 1986. He was also the founding rabbinic administrator of the Vaad HaKashrus of Buffalo, a community organization that maintains the highest standards of kashrus.

In 1986, Rabbi Kaganoff and his family returned to Baltimore, where he became the rav of Congregation Darchei Tzedek and also served as a dayan (rabbinic judge) on the Baltimore Beis Din.

The Kaganoffs moved to Eretz Yisrael in 1997, where they settled in the Neve Yaakov neighborhood of Jerusalem. Rabbi Kaganoff and his wife, Malka, have nine children and many grandchildren.

This is Rabbi Kaganoff's eighth book, and he is the author of hundreds of articles pertaining to rabbinic scholarship, both in English and Hebrew.
