81. A Psak Heard Round the World: Are We Facing Jerusalem or the Congo? - Feat. R. Yosef Weisenfeld

from Shu"T First, Ask Questions Later · host Moshe Kurtz

"Which way is Mizrach (East)?" is a common refrain we hear at pop-up minyanim. The intent is to face Jerusalem, and more specifically the Temple Mount. But does a New Yorker facing East actually directing his prayers toward the holy city or to somewhere in central Africa instead? R. Yosef Weisenfeld, author of Derech Ha'Ir, addresses this and many other questions through a responsum of the Matai Moshe (no. 7).To purchase his sefer, please click here: https://www.judaicaplace.com/derech-hair-hardcover/9781680256727/
