Book Lists

 UPDATE 2/19/2023 - There used to be a large list of books on various topics through Amazon's list function, but they've disabled the program, and I have to build the lists again from scratch without access to my old lists. A new page of list is below with the lists I've recreated so far.

The problem with books: Halacha books are universally very stringent. They want be "acceptable" to the largest possible audience, and that means taking a halachic position everyone can agree on. You will rarely find "leniencies," even if those leniencies are the standard practice in many communities. What is defined as a "leniency" can also depend on who is doing the defining. Some people might call it the stringent opinion, not a leniency! Always take what you read with a grain of salt, and expect someone to say, "Where on earth did you learn that chumrah! No one does that!" a whole lot if you learn primarily from books. This is why your friends are important. They help you see what the actual practice is in your community. Or...you can be like me and your friends will create a "Spot Kochava's crazy chumrahs" game for you.
