Our Mission.
As our Kehilla continues to grow in vibrancy and depth, the need for a centralized, accessible resource for halachic guidance has become increasingly clear. The Beis Hora’ah was established to meet this need—serving not only as a responsive center for halachic questions, but also as a proactive hub for halachic education and empowerment.
We believe that halacha is not just a set of answers, but a living framework that guides every aspect of Jewish life. Our mission is to raise the level of halachic literacy across the community, helping individuals and families understand the “why” and “how” behind halachic practice—from Shabbos and Kashrus to Taharas Hamishpacha, business ethics, and professional conduct.
Led by dedicated poskim, and supported by our local rabbanim, the Beis Hora’ah offers:
-
Timely and clear responses to halachic questions submitted in person, by phone, or via email.
-
Shiurim and workshops designed to build halachic confidence and deepen understanding.
-
City-wide accessibility, serving all members of the Houston Jewish community while respecting the role of each shul’s rav as the primary posek for their congregants.
With clarity, confidentiality, and care, the Beis Hora’ah aims to strengthen our community and help each of us live Torah-guided lives with greater awareness and conviction.
