About 15 years ago, I recall that there was a book put out by the Association of Orthodox Jewish Scientists. It was titled something like "Challenge - Science against Halacha" or something similar. I remember that it had a yellow sleeve cover.

Does anyone know the name of that book and where I may be able to purchase this?

You are probably looking for Challenge: Torah Views on Science and Its Problems, edited by R' Aryeh Carmell and Dr. Cyril Domb in association with the Association of Orthodox Jewish Scientists, published by Feldheim in 1976 (1st edition) and 1988 (2nd edition).

  • @DanF This was on the shelf in my college's Hillel, and I used to pull it down and read essays in it from time to time.

  • @DanF MIT. The library in the Hillel Center there probably predated the Hillel director at the time.
