Rav Micha Cohn shlit”a, the rav of Bais Medrash Kol Yaakov of Oakley Hills in Jackson and a world-renowned halachic expert in medical issues, has released a new sefer titled “Healing in Halacha 2,” a follow-up to his first sefer under the same title, which was wildly successful.
In addition to being a rav, R’ Micha is a maggid shiur at the Mesivta of Long Beach and a posek for Kof-K Kashrus Supervision. As a close talmid of Rav Dovid Feinstein, zt”l, he had the opportunity to discuss many intricate questions in medical halachah with the rosh yeshiva. In 2012, Rabbi Cohn started a medical halachah email for medical and mental health providers. In 2016, the emails were adapted into Healing in Halachah, volume 1, and was published by Mosaica Press. This is the second volume in this series.
There will be a lchaim and mechira reishis of the new sefer this coming Sunday at his home. The sefer can also be purchased by clicking here.

Shalom Rabbi Cohn,
After reading your intriguing Aish article, Are Designer Babies Kosher, I remembered several scientific facts and evidence that DNA might be Hashem’s Torah code of life and the origin of this universe. Today, science admits that understanding a tiny 2 percent of DNA with a mysterious majority in unbelievable complexity.
Might Hashem’s Torah now be seen in the heavens as in Devarim 30:11-12, “Surely, this Instruction which I enjoin upon you this day is not too baffling for you, nor is it beyond reach. It is not in the heavens that you should say, “Who among us can go up to the heavens and get it for us and impart it to us, that we may observe it?” On Har Sinai, the people evidenced the lighting, fire, thunder, and voice of Hashem. On March 16, 2006, NASA reported an 80 light-years-long formation in the heavens in the shape of a DNA molecule. Could this be the encoded Torah through which this universe is formed and maintained with the light on day one of creation?

Would Hashem allow dust-formed humans the ability to change His DNA code and the bodies in which human consciousness is placed at first breath?
I appreciate your insight and understanding of this matter.
