== His Psakim == In 2018, he launched the website "AskTheRav.com", where he supervises a team of talmidei chachamim who respond to thousands of halachic questions each month. Every response is reviewed by Rabbi Braun. The site's archive currently contains thousands of responses, most with detailed explanations including extensive notes and sources with deep and comprehensive pilpulim in his well-known style. Among his well-known psakim: * Rules like Rabbi Marlow regarding the prohibition of saying korbanos before zman mincha gedolah, differing from Rabbi Osdoba on this. * Rules that when putting only tefillin shel rosh on a Jew (during mivtzoim etc.), one should make the bracha on mitzvas tefillin. (Disagreeing with Rabbi Yekusiel Farkash on this). * Prohibited the establishment of an eruv in Crown Heights using string to make tzuras hapesach, explaining this was the Rebbe's ratzon. (He didn't want to write halachic reasons, writing that it's unnecessary when the Rebbe is the baal habayis, and the rabbonim are baalei batim, and they decide on this). * Prohibits wheeling a Jew in a wheelchair on Shabbos even by a non-Jew. * Instructs to filter water for drinking and cooking in Brooklyn, at least due to safek. * Ruled that the true zmanim can only be followed lechumra but not lekula, differing from several Chabad rabbonim who instruct to follow them and whose words were published on Chabad.org[citation needed.
