In this classic series Rav Berkovits reads out the Shulchan Aruch and Rama and traces the topic back to its original sources in the Gemora and Rishonim. He then, with crystal clarity, brings the principle(s) forward to explain how the later Acharonim, the Mishna Brura and modern day poskim apply it to the current generation.

Rav Berkovits begins this valuable series on practical halacha between man and man by exploring the marked difference between what beis din can enforce once things go wrong, and the correct moral choice for an individual to make before that point. Why is it that the rulings are so disparate?
Can you tell a friend to shop in a cheaper store than the one you see him entering? It's not as simple as we tend to believe. Rav Berkovits also discusses the parameters of turning another person into the authorities - a topic that is imperative to be mastered.
In this shiur, Rav Berkovits examines the right of an individual to save himself at someone else's expense. Included is a valuable overview of how a beis din works, from lodging a complaint to be processed to actually going to the court to present your case.
Just because you make a deal with someone doesn't automatically guarantee ownership, unless you are sure to make a kinyan on the object. Rav Berkovits clarifies how to make a contract that will stand up in a Jewish court of law, when you can back out of a deal, and when you lose reliability.
In this session on hiring and firing, Rav Berkovits lays out the rules for employees and their bosses. Can you try to look for a new job despite the fact that you'll be leaving your employer in the lurch? Is it OK to strike? How about firing workers, or taking them for a job and canceling last minute?
What is included in being sure to pay a worker on the day he finishes the job? Rav Berkovits continues to work out the relationship between employer and employee. If one pays by hour, and an employee can't work for a day, is it a requirement to pay them? And what if someone provides you with a service you never asked for?
The responsibilities an employee has toward his employer are broad - something not very usual in today's workplace of spending time chatting and water cooler breaks. In this valuable shiur for anyone not their own boss, Rav Berkovits lays out clear guidelines of what is acceptable according to halacha, and what is not.
