The Yeshiva of Newark continued its partnership with Tzurba M’Rabanan
This episode's discussion-
The Kavanah Quandary-What Was I Thinking?
The Tzurba M’Rabanan halacha program is represented in Eretz Yisroel by over one thousand shiurim across the country. A systematic and concise learning method that walks the reader through the entire halachic process, Tzurba M’Rabanan covers the Biblical and Talmudic sources through modern-day halachic application.
The Program has a depth that never veers away from impacting your daily life and the way you view daily halachic living. It conveys the logic behind each halacha, helping people develop a deeper appreciation for what they are practicing in their everyday lives, granting the participant a new perspective on the halachic system.
After the English Language edition was launched over 5 years ago, with its clear introductions and trademark color-coded sections, Tzurba M’Rabanan began to take off in the Diaspora with over 50 Tzurba Shiurim in the United States.
Tzurba is written in a digestible and easy-to-follow format allowing readers of all ages to walk away with a comprehensive understanding of halacha even without a guide or Rebbe. Each chapter contains all the sources in their original Hebrew along with a side-by-side English translation, informed by the aforementioned trademark color-coded sections based on the time period of the commentary.
In addition to these prime sources,avreichim from the prestigious Manhigut Toranit have written additional in-depth articles to supplement the translations.
Every Sunday night we will,ay'h, review and develop what has been studied by participants during the week and discuss interactively what we have learned.All of the Shiurim will be recorded for your convenience and be available on our dedicated site.

Ms. Lyon is a renowned lawyer, author, speaker, professor and former Dean of the Valparaiso University Law School, who has been featured on national news and media outlets. Dubbed “The Angel of Death Row” by the Chicago Tribune, she was the first woman to serve as lead attorney in a death penalty case, and she holds an unparalleled 19 wins in 19 capital cases.
Ms. Lyon has dedicated her career to advocating and upholding justice for all. Her legal work began in the Cook County Public Defender’s Office where she rose to become Chief of the Homicide Task Force. Managing a 22-lawyer unit, she tried over 130 homicide cases and defended more than 30 potential capital cases at the trial level, including taking 19 capital cases through penalty phase. In 1990, Ms. Lyon founded and directed the Illinois Capital Resource Center representing all of the death row inmates in Illinois.
She is leader of academic reforms in both curriculum development and mentoring diversity in law school student and faculty populations. Ms. Lyon brought her depth of criminal justice experience to enrich legal education at University of Michigan Law School as assistant clinical professor; DePaul University College of Law as clinical professor of law, Associate Dean of Clinical Programs, and Director of the Center for Justice in Capital Cases; and as Dean of Valparaiso University Law School.
In January of 2015, Ms. Lyon was awarded Operation Push’s Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and President Lyndon B. Johnson Dream-Makers Award. A winner of the prestigious National Legal Aid and Defender Association’s Reginald Heber Smith Award for best advocate for the poor in the country, she is a nationally recognized expert in the field of death penalty defense and a frequent Continuing Legal Education (CLE) teacher throughout the country. She has been designated as learned counsel in the federal defense system.
Ms. Lyon received her undergraduate degree from Rutgers University and her law degree from Antioch School of Law. Her publications include over fifty law review articles, over ten practice manuals and books, including The Feminine Sixth: Women in Criminal Defense (NACDL Press 2018), The Death Penalty: What’s Keeping it Alive (Rowan & Littlefield, 2015), Team Defense in Criminal Cases with Mortimer Smith (ABA publication, 2014), and Angel of Death Row: My Life as a Death Penalty Defense Lawyer (Kaplan, 2010).

The Yeshiva of Newark continued its partnership with Tzurba M’Rabanan
This episode's discussion-
Sugar Highs
Liking Water
Loving Chocolate
The Tzurba M’Rabanan halacha program is represented in Eretz Yisroel by over one thousand shiurim across the country. A systematic and concise learning method that walks the reader through the entire halachic process, Tzurba M’Rabanan covers the Biblical and Talmudic sources through modern-day halachic application.
The Program has a depth that never veers away from impacting your daily life and the way you view daily halachic living. It conveys the logic behind each halacha, helping people develop a deeper appreciation for what they are practicing in their everyday lives, granting the participant a new perspective on the halachic system.
After the English Language edition was launched over 5 years ago, with its clear introductions and trademark color-coded sections, Tzurba M’Rabanan began to take off in the Diaspora with over 50 Tzurba Shiurim in the United States.
Tzurba is written in a digestible and easy-to-follow format allowing readers of all ages to walk away with a comprehensive understanding of halacha even without a guide or Rebbe. Each chapter contains all the sources in their original Hebrew along with a side-by-side English translation, informed by the aforementioned trademark color-coded sections based on the time period of the commentary.
In addition to these prime sources,avreichim from the prestigious Manhigut Toranit have written additional in-depth articles to supplement the translations.
Every Sunday night we will,ay'h, review and develop what has been studied by participants during the week and discuss interactively what we have learned.All of the Shiurim will be recorded for your convenience and be available on our dedicated site.
https://jewishpodcasts.fm/rambanvsrambam
Tzurba volumes are now available on Amazon

The Yeshiva of Newark continued its partnership with Tzurba M’Rabanan
This episode's discussion-
Out For the Count?
Minors and Not Yet Shomrei Shabbas in the Minyan
The Tzurba M’Rabanan halacha program is represented in Eretz Yisroel by over one thousand shiurim across the country. A systematic and concise learning method that walks the reader through the entire halachic process, Tzurba M’Rabanan covers the Biblical and Talmudic sources through modern-day halachic application.
The Program has a depth that never veers away from impacting your daily life and the way you view daily halachic living. It conveys the logic behind each halacha, helping people develop a deeper appreciation for what they are practicing in their everyday lives, granting the participant a new perspective on the halachic system.
After the English Language edition was launched over 5 years ago, with its clear introductions and trademark color-coded sections, Tzurba M’Rabanan began to take off in the Diaspora with over 50 Tzurba Shiurim in the United States.
Tzurba is written in a digestible and easy-to-follow format allowing readers of all ages to walk away with a comprehensive understanding of halacha even without a guide or Rebbe. Each chapter contains all the sources in their original Hebrew along with a side-by-side English translation, informed by the aforementioned trademark color-coded sections based on the time period of the commentary.
In addition to these prime sources,avreichim from the prestigious Manhigut Toranit have written additional in-depth articles to supplement the translations.
Every Sunday night we will,ay'h, review and develop what has been studied by participants during the week and discuss interactively what we have learned.All of the Shiurim will be recorded for your convenience and be available on our dedicated site.

Tzurba volumes are now available on Amazon

The Yeshiva of Newark continued its partnership with Tzurba M’Rabanan
This episode's discussion-
'Yuatznu Tov..' -Serving in the Court of Kings ,Cabinet of Presidents and Managing Candidates
The Tzurba M’Rabanan halacha program is represented in Eretz Yisroel by over one thousand shiurim across the country. A systematic and concise learning method that walks the reader through the entire halachic process, Tzurba M’Rabanan covers the Biblical and Talmudic sources through modern-day halachic application.
The Program has a depth that never veers away from impacting your daily life and the way you view daily halachic living. It conveys the logic behind each halacha, helping people develop a deeper appreciation for what they are practicing in their everyday lives, granting the participant a new perspective on the halachic system.
After the English Language edition was launched over 5 years ago, with its clear introductions and trademark color-coded sections, Tzurba M’Rabanan began to take off in the Diaspora with over 50 Tzurba Shiurim in the United States.
Tzurba is written in a digestible and easy-to-follow format allowing readers of all ages to walk away with a comprehensive understanding of halacha even without a guide or Rebbe. Each chapter contains all the sources in their original Hebrew along with a side-by-side English translation, informed by the aforementioned trademark color-coded sections based on the time period of the commentary.
In addition to these prime sources,avreichim from the prestigious Manhigut Toranit have written additional in-depth articles to supplement the translations.
Every Sunday night we will,ay'h, review and develop what has been studied by participants during the week and discuss interactively what we have learned.All of the Shiurim will be recorded for your convenience and be available on our dedicated site.

The Program has a depth thatnever veers away from impacting your daily life and the way you viewdaily halachic living. It conveys the logic behind each halacha, helping peopledevelop a deeper appreciation for what they are practicing in their everydaylives, granting the participant a new perspective on the halachic system.

Each chapter contains all the sources in their original Hebrewalong with a side-by-side English translation, informed by the aforementionedtrademark color-coded sections based on the time period of the commentary.
In addition to these primesources,avreichim from the prestigious Manhigut Toranit havewritten additional in-depth articles to supplement the translations.
Every Sunday night we will,ay'h, review anddevelop what has been studied by participants during the week and discussinteractively what we have learned.All of the Shiurim will be recorded for yourconvenience and be available on our dedicated site.

Rabbi Weiss leads the Shiur into what appears as familiar territory-yet ends up offering many original explanations and insights into this most studied text in Judaism. From the introductory paragraph, to the statement of Rav Elazar Ben Azariah,the importance of the plague of locusts,and why Krias Yam Suf is so essential tot be mentioned on the night of the 15th,though it happened a week later,you'll be energized to share these gems at your Seder.Rav Duvie draws on some of the great masters of Chassidic thought ,and puts a new spin on many of the Classic Medieval commentaries.

Rabbi Weiss lifts the mundane chore of Kashering Keilim into an adventure into the Yesodos of Kashrus throughout the Torah.The principles of Taam Ka-Ikkar,and Naat-Bar Naat are elucidated as well as seeing similar dynamics at work in hilchos Kodshim,in cooking the Korbonos,and when the problem of Nosar occurs.
Rabbi David Weiss is viewed as Rebbe to hundreds of Talmidim, his shiurim range from Halacha to Chassidus, Hashkafa and Gemara all infused with his clear presentation of even the most difficult topics.

The Yeshiva of Newark continued its partnership with Tzurba M’Rabanan,with an interactive Shiur dealing with topics in
volume 3
which covers Bikur Cholim-Aveilus-Mezuzah-Shatnez -Shofar-Yom Kippur-Elective Surgery-Fertility Issues
This episode's discussion-
Surrounding the long dark tunnel-
Patients With PersistentVegetativeState
The Tzurba M’Rabanan halacha program is represented in Eretz Yisroel by over one thousand shiurim across the country. A systematic and concise learning method that walks the reader through the entire halachic process, Tzurba M’Rabanan covers the Biblical and Talmudic sources through modern-day halachic application.
The Program has a depth that never veers away from impacting your daily life and the way you view daily halachic living. It conveys the logic behind each halacha, helping people develop a deeper appreciation for what they are practicing in their everyday lives, granting the participant a new perspective on the halachic system.
After the English Language edition was launched over 5 years ago, with its clear introductions and trademark color-coded sections, Tzurba M’Rabanan began to take off in the Diaspora with over 50 Tzurba Shiurim in the United States.
Tzurba is written in a digestible and easy-to-follow format allowing readers of all ages to walk away with a comprehensive understanding of halacha even without a guide or Rebbe. Each chapter contains all the sources in their original Hebrew along with a side-by-side English translation, informed by the aforementioned trademark color-coded sections based on the time period of the commentary.
In addition to these prime sources,avreichim from the prestigious Manhigut Toranit have written additional in-depth articles to supplement the translations.
Every Sunday night we will,ay'h, review and develop what has been studied by participants during the week and discuss interactively what we have learned.All of the Shiurim will be recorded for your convenience and be available on our dedicated site.
https://jewishpodcasts.fm/rambanvsrambam
Tzurba volumes are now available on Amazon

This Episode's discussion-
Effective Prayers and Vital Visits-
The Sechel and Regesh of Bikur Cholim
The Tzurba M’Rabanan halacha program is represented in Eretz Yisroel by over one thousand shiurim across the country. A systematic and concise learning method that walks the reader through the entire halachic process, Tzurba M’Rabanan covers the Biblical and Talmudic sources through modern-day halachic application.
The Program has a depth that never veers away from impacting your daily life and the way you view daily halachic living. It conveys the logic behind each halacha, helping people develop a deeper appreciation for what they are practicing in their everyday lives, granting the participant a new perspective on the halachic system.
After the English Language edition was launched over 5 years ago, with its clear introductions and trademark color-coded sections, Tzurba M’Rabanan began to take off in the Diaspora with over 50 Tzurba Shiurim in the United States.
Tzurba is written in a digestible and easy-to-follow format allowing readers of all ages to walk away with a comprehensive understanding of halacha even without a guide or Rebbe. Each chapter contains all the sources in their original Hebrew along with a side-by-side English translation, informed by the aforementioned trademark color-coded sections based on the time period of the commentary.
In addition to these prime sources,avreichim from the prestigious Manhigut Toranit have written additional in-depth articles to supplement the translations.
Every Sunday night we will,ay'h, review and develop what has been studied by participants during the week and discuss interactively what we have learned.All of the Shiurim will be recorded for your convenience and be available on our dedicated site.

Tzurba M'Rabanan-Episode 17-Talmudic Principles of Pidyon Shivuyim- Applications to the Modern World
A Shiur dedicated L'eluy Nishmas Harav Gershon Ben Mordechai Neumann Zatzal-Rosh Yeshiva Zichron Lima
The Yeshiva of Newark continued its partnership with Tzurba M’Rabanan,with an interactive Shiur dealing with topics in volume 2 which covers Kibbud Av VaEim - Talmud Torah-Geirus-Bris Mila -Pidyon Haben and Tzedaka.
This episode's discussion
Talmudic Principles of Pidyon Shivuyim- Applications to the Modern World
The Tzurba M’Rabanan halacha program is represented in Eretz Yisroel by over one thousand shiurim across the country. A systematic and concise learning method that walks the reader through the entire halachic process, Tzurba M’Rabanan covers the Biblical and Talmudic sources through modern-day halachic application.
The Program has a depth that never veers away from impacting your daily life and the way you view daily halachic living. It conveys the logic behind each halacha, helping people develop a deeper appreciation for what they are practicing in their everyday lives, granting the participant a new perspective on the halachic system.
After the English Language edition was launched over 5 years ago, with its clear introductions and trademark color-coded sections, Tzurba M’Rabanan began to take off in the Diaspora with over 50 Tzurba Shiurim in the United States.
Tzurba is written in a digestible and easy-to-follow format allowing readers of all ages to walk away with a comprehensive understanding of halacha even without a guide or Rebbe. Each chapter contains all the sources in their original Hebrew along with a side-by-side English translation, informed by the aforementioned trademark color-coded sections based on the time period of the commentary.
In addition to these prime sources,avreichim from the prestigious Manhigut Toranit have written additional in-depth articles to supplement the translations.
Every Sunday night we will,ay'h, review and develop what has been studied by participants during the week and discuss interactively what we have learned.All of the Shiurim will be recorded for your convenience and be available on our dedicated site.

Tshuvos and Poskim-Milchemes Mitzvah - The Intersections of Jewish Law, International Law and The Laws of War-with Rabbi Michael J.Broyde
An extended treatment of this topic by Rabbi Broyde in a groundbreaking essay can be found
here
“For everything there is a season, and a time for every object of desire under the heavens. … A time to be silent and a time to speak. A time to love and a time to hate.A time for war and a time for peace” (Koheles-3:1 and 3:7-8).….. Indeed, there is a time to
speak of war and of peace and a time when political and military considerations augur for silence…. determination of the halakhic propriety of any Israeli incursion is contingent both upon accurate analysis of points of fact as well as resolution of questions of Jewish law. Nevertheless, it is beyond dispute—both as a matter of fact and as a matter of Halakhah—that, once hostilities have commenced, Israel must prevail because the State of Israel cannot afford the luxury of losing a war. Military defeat would assuredly entail the loss of a countless number of Jewish lives. When such threat looms, military action assumes the guise of a “Milchemes Mitzvah” “to deliver Israel from the enemy”.Under such circumstances any action—indeed any word—that gives support to the enemy is an action that endangers Jewish lives…”

Tzurba M'Rabanan-Episode 13-Tzedakah as Hatzalas HaKlal Kulo
The Yeshiva of Newark continued its partnership with Tzurba M’Rabanan,with an interactive Shiur in volume 2 which covers Kibbud Av VaEim - Talmud Torah-Geirus-Bris Mila -Pidyon Haben and Tzedaka.
Parameters for Tzedakah in this extraordinary time of War and Need
The Tzurba M’Rabanan halacha program is represented in Eretz Yisroel by over one thousand shiurim across the country. A systematic and concise learning method that walks the reader through the entire halachic process, Tzurba M’Rabanan covers the Biblical and Talmudic sources through modern-day halachic application.
The Program has a depth that never veers away from impacting your daily life and the way you view daily halachic living. It conveys the logic behind each halacha, helping people develop a deeper appreciation for what they are practicing in their everyday lives, granting the participant a new perspective on the halachic system.
After the English Language edition was launched over 5 years ago, with its clear introductions and trademark color-coded sections, Tzurba M’Rabanan began to take off in the Diaspora with over 50 Tzurba Shiurim in the United States.
Tzurba is written in a digestible and easy-to-follow format allowing readers of all ages to walk away with a comprehensive understanding of halacha even without a guide or Rebbe. Each chapter contains all the sources in their original Hebrew along with a side-by-side English translation, informed by the aforementioned trademark color-coded sections based on the time period of the commentary.
In addition to these prime sources,avreichim from the prestigious Manhigut Toranit have written additional in-depth articles to supplement the translations.
Every Sunday night we will,ay'h, review and develop what has been studied by participants during the week and discuss interactively what we have learned.All of the Shiurim will be recorded for your convenience and be available on our dedicated site.

Tzurba volumes are now available on Amazon
https://www.amazon.com/Books-Tzurba-MRabanan/s?rh=n%3A283155%2Cp_27%3ATzurba+M%27Rabanan

A systematic and concise learning method that walks the reader through the entire halachic process, Tzurba M’Rabanan covers the Biblical and Talmudic sources through modern-day halachic application.
The Program has a depth that never veers away from impacting your daily life and the way you view daily halachic living. It conveys the logic behind each halacha, helping people develop a deeper appreciation for what they are practicing in their everyday lives, granting the participant a new perspective on the halachic system.
After the English Language edition was launched over 5 years ago, with its clear introductions and trademark color-coded sections, Tzurba M’Rabanan began to take off in the Diaspora with over 50 Tzurba Shiurim in the United States.
Tzurba is written in a digestible and easy-to-follow format allowing readers of all ages to walk away with a comprehensive understanding of halacha even without a guide or Rebbe. Each chapter contains all the sources in their original Hebrew along with a side-by-side English translation, informed by the aforementioned trademark color-coded sections based on the time period of the commentary.
In addition to these prime sources,avreichim from the prestigious Manhigut Toranit have written additional in-depth articles to supplement the translations.
Every Sunday night we will,ay'h, review and develop what has been studied by participants during the week and discuss interactively what we have learned.All of the Shiurim will be recorded for your convenience and be available on our dedicated site.

Tzurba M'Rabanan-Episode 7-Women and Gemara Learning-Understanding the Controversy-L'ilui Nishmas Mrs.Bella Kivelevitz
The Yeshiva of Newark continued its partnership with Tzurba M’Rabanan,with an interactive Shiur in volume 2 which covers Kibbud Av VaEim - Talmud Torah-Geirus-Bris Mila -Pidyon Haben and Tzedaka.
This episode's discussion-
Women and Gemara Learning-Understanding the Controversy
L'ilui Nishmas Mrs.Bella Kivelevitz a'h on the occasion of her 33rd YartzheitThe Tzurba M’Rabanan halacha program is represented in Eretz Yisroel by over one thousand shiurim across the country. A systematic and concise learning method that walks the reader through the entire halachic process, Tzurba M’Rabanan covers the Biblical and Talmudic sources through modern-day halachic application.
The Program has a depth that never veers away from impacting your daily life and the way you view daily halachic living. It conveys the logic behind each halacha, helping people develop a deeper appreciation for what they are practicing in their everyday lives, granting the participant a new perspective on the halachic system.
After the English Language edition was launched over 5 years ago, with its clear introductions and trademark color-coded sections, Tzurba M’Rabanan began to take off in the Diaspora with over 50 Tzurba Shiurim in the United States.
Tzurba is written in a digestible and easy-to-follow format allowing readers of all ages to walk away with a comprehensive understanding of halacha even without a guide or Rebbe. Each chapter contains all the sources in their original Hebrew along with a side-by-side English translation, informed by the aforementioned trademark color-coded sections based on the time period of the commentary.
In addition to these prime sources,avreichim from the prestigious Manhigut Toranit have written additional in-depth articles to supplement the translations.
Every Sunday night we will,ay'h, review and develop what has been studied by participants during the week and discuss interactively what we have learned.All of the Shiurim will be recorded for your convenience and be available on our dedicated site.

Tshuvos and Poskim-Red Riding Hood -Highlighting Ikirei Dinnim found on the path to Grandmother's house across the breadth of the Shulchan Oruch with Dayan Gershon Eliezer Schaffel
משמת ר' מאיר בטלו מושלי משלים
משנה מסכת סוטה פרק ט
ז'ל רש'י
מושלי משלות לתת (אות) אמתלא וטעם לחכמה ליכנס בה בשערי בינה כגון ממשלות שועלים.
כגון ממשלות שועלים, דאמרינן בסנהדרין [לח ב] כי הוי דריש רבי מאיר בפרקא הוה דריש תלתא שמעתתא ותלתא אגדתא ותלתא מתלי:
ר' עובדיה מברטנורא
שהלא היה עוקר הרי הרים ולא ירדו לסוף דעתו, עיין עירובין [יג, ב] וסנהדרין [כד, א].
ורק באשר ענין המשלים, האיש המתעסק בהם לבדם אינו נכבד בשבילם,
וגם חכמה זו אינה מתייקרת בפי כל.
זולת כשהיה רבי מאיר אדם גדול מאוד מתעסק בה,
והשתמש בה לצרכי תורה הקדושה ומידות טובות,
התעלתה חכמה זו במדריגה רבה ונתכבדה בעיני כל.

The Yeshiva of Newark continues its partnership with Tzurba M’Rabanan,with this interactive Shiur in volume 2 which covers Kibbud Av VaEim - Talmud Torah-Geirus-Bris Mila -Pidyon Haben and Tzedaka.
This Episode's discussion
'Cause I said so!'-Kibud Av-Parameters of Obedience
The Tzurba M’Rabanan halacha program is represented in Eretz Yisroel by over one thousand shiurim across the country. A systematic and concise learning method that walks the reader through the entire halachic process, Tzurba M’Rabanan covers the Biblical and Talmudic sources through modern-day halachic application.
The Program has a depth that never veers away from impacting your daily life and the way you view daily halachic living. It conveys the logic behind each halacha, helping people develop a deeper appreciation for what they are practicing in their everyday lives, granting the participant a new perspective on the halachic system.
After the English Language edition was launched over 5 years ago, with its clear introductions and trademark color-coded sections, Tzurba M’Rabanan began to take off in the Diaspora with over 50 Tzurba Shiurim in the United States.
Tzurba is written in a digestible and easy-to-follow format allowing readers of all ages to walk away with a comprehensive understanding of halacha even without a guide or Rebbe. Each chapter contains all the sources in their original Hebrew along with a side-by-side English translation, informed by the aforementioned trademark color-coded sections based on the time period of the commentary.
In addition to these prime sources,avreichim from the prestigious Manhigut Toranit have written additional in-depth articles to supplement the translations.
Every Sunday night we will,ay'h, review and develop what has been studied by participants during the week and discuss interactively what we have learned.All of the Shiurim will be recorded for your convenience and be available on our dedicated site.

Using AI for Psak Halacha -Ramifications and Recriminations-Results of a Relevant Test Case-A Conversation with Rabbi Michael Broyde
“ The reasoning of AI is unlikely to take the place of district court judges – those trial court judges who make factual determination based on the demeanor of the witnesses and so many more visible cues. So too, they are unlikely to replace Supreme Court judges, since much of the Justices do is decide when they ought to change the rules and replace one rule of interpretation with another – delegating this decision to a computer is no different than delegating the role of Congress to AI and is unlikely. On the other hand, the strengths of AI reasoning could take the place of United States Court of Appeals judges, who are (1) rigidly bound by precedent, (2) functionally interchangeable with each other, (3) randomly assigned to cases, (4) sit in panels, and (5) do almost all their work based on a written record. These five characteristics are more easily AI supplanted given the current state of technology that either policy decisions about the law ought to be or credibility determinations .”

Changing society's view of Summer-an episode of the Chavrusa-Rabbi Kivelevitz Vs Rabbi Worch
A Yeshiva of Newark Podcast Re-Release
Rabbi Kivelevitz uses the secondary crisis of crowding in summer vacation spots during Covid 19,as a pretext to revive his old debate with Rabbi Worch over eliminating the notion of a long summer vacation from school.Throughout the last century there have been calls to alter a system based on an outmoded agrarian society where children were needed for labor in their parents fields.The system of the long stretch of school year followed by months of idleness for many disadvantaged children has already had severe consequences on America's educational standing in the world.Rabbi Kivelevitz points out how the adoption of this model into Jewish life consistently runs counter to the mourning period of the Three Weeks,and builds unrealistic summer hopes and demands by children for the families to engage in long expensive trips.Rabbi Worch counters by extolling the bonding that occurs between parents and children over this long extended period.He further states that children need to harbor dreams of an amazing extended summer as an incentive to apply themselves properly.Kivelevitz cites the positive effect on energy use staying closer to home will have during abbreviated vacations staggered throughout the year.Another result,he claims will be greater familiarity with persons in your immediate community, a solid recipe for more proactive positive citizenry.Worch believes that these plans are unrealistic and would not be accepted anyhow.Kivelevitz points to the changes society has absorbed so quickly during the pandemic as proof that if persons realize how crucial change is they can make it happen with alacrity.After listening to the program-please forward your views on the summer shake-up proposition of Rabbi Kivelevitz and how you are making use use of these weeks of relaxation within the confines of the health emergency that still rages.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected]

Responsibility before Rights-Transitioning from Purim to Pesach-A Shiur by Rav Dovid Heber of the STAR K
נחלקו חכמים לגבי שנה מעוברת, מתי נקיים בה את חג הפורים, שלר' אלעזר בר' יוסי יש לקיים את מצוות הפורים באדר הראשון, על פי הכלל שאין מעבירין על המצוות, ולרשב'ג יש לקיים את מצוות הפורים באדר השני
תלמוד בבלי מסכת מגילה דף ו עמוד ב
אמר רבי טבי: טעמא דרבי שמעון בן גמליאל מסמך גאולה לגאולה עדיף…….
רש'י
גאולה לגאולה - פורים לפסח.
.
ויש עניין לחבר בין שתי גאולות אלו, הראשונה והאחרונה, ולהראות שהם מחוברים למגמה אחת כוללת.
….
צריך לסמוך גאולת פורים לגאולת פסח, שאף שתכלית חג הפסח הוא בסופו של דבר להגיע לגאולת פורים, ששם ה' יופיע בטבע, ובדרך הטבע, ויהיה חיבור גדול בין הטבע לה' אלקי ישראל, אך יחד עם זאת, צריך תמיד לזכור שהכל מתחיל מלמעלה מבחירת ה' בנו, מהמוחלטות של דבר ה', ועל גבי זה אנו יכולים להוסיף את העבודה שלנו להתקרב ולהתחבר לדברי ה'.
וביחד בשילוב האורות של חג הפורים וחג הפסח, של הגאולה מלמעלה למטה, והגאולה מלמטה למעלה, בחיבור הגאולה שבאה בדרך נס, עם הגאולה שבאה בדרך הטבע, מגיע עם ישראל לשלמות האמונה והופעת הגאולה

Standing in Two Worlds-Episode 72-Witness or Footnote-What Senior Citizens attendance at Young Persons' Weddings Signifies
Recognizing that there are no events without conflicting facets, R. Kivelevitz anchors the analysis of the emotional impact of the family wedding by zeroing in on the experiences of the “older generation” at the celebration. Belying the overt joy, he argues, there is an undercurrent of “the passing of the torch” with a sense that life is passing these folks by in favor of the new generation. Though not evident in the parents of the new couple because of their immediate involvement in the nuts and bolts of the event, these feelings are more palpable for the older generation.
Prof. Juni, concurring with this stance, points out its particular salience for families of immigrants and Holocaust survivors who were self-established and then witness their children's and grandchildren’s marriages. Inasmuch as these “youngsters” had it much easier than they did and some were handed their lives “on silver platters” some disparagement and resentment is inevitable.
Conversely, R. Kivelevitz points out that the presence of the older generation at these celebrations is not truly necessary from the younger generation’s perspective. Other than perfunctory respect and adulations, the party would pretty much be just as celebratory without them. As such, the event is merely an opportunity to memorialize then into the wedding album which will outlive them in the family folklore.
Dr. Juni points out that the Western youth-centered cultural perspective actually promotes the perspective that – instead of children thriving by standing on the shoulders of our parents – they actually progress by stepping on their head as they reject their values and minimize their relevance.
R. Kivelevitz points out a revealing contrast between traditional weddings, where the bridal couple are the stars of the day, to the weddings in Chassidic courts where the main attraction is the Rebbe who is “marrying off” his descendants and the bridal couple is perfunctory at best.
Pushing the duality of the wedding experience to a tangential area, R. Kivelevitz explores religio-cultural options as he tries to come to grips with the Chasidic tradition where the bride and groom hold hands as they parade publicly from the wedding canopy – a behavior which defies Chasidic mores and even Halacha.
R. Kivelevitz challenges Juni to explain the extravagances of the typical Jewish wedding which often drive the parents into significant debt. Juni notes that – in psychoanalytic theory extreme emotion-related behavior usually indicates the presence of an underlying discordant emotion which is being repressed (as per the defense mechanism dynamics of Reaction Formation). Thus, the extreme message that “I am so happy that this is happening” is intended as a counterweight to the nascent despair of being left behind in the dust.
Prof. Juni is one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today. He has published ground-breaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.
He studied in Yeshivas Chaim Berlin under Rav Yitzchak Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as a Talmid of Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchik. Dr. Juni is a board member of the Association of Orthodox Jewish Scientists and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences. Associated with NYU since 1979, Juni has served as Director of PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in cutting-edge research. Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded on psychometric methodology and based on a psychodynamic psychopathology perspective. He is arguably the preeminent expert in Differential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studies entailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations.
Professor Juni created and directed the NYU Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titled Cross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments. Based in Yerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors.
Below is a partial list of the professional journals where Professor Juni has published 120 theoretical articles and his research findings (many are available online):
Journal of Forensic Psychology; Journal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma; International Review of Victimology; The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease; International Forum of Psychoanalysis; Journal of Personality Assessment; Journal of Abnormal Psychology; Journal of Psychoanalytic Anthropology; Psychophysiology; Psychology and Human Development; Journal of Sex Research; Journal of Psychology and Judaism; Contemporary Family Therapy; American Journal on Addictions; Journal of Criminal Psychology; Mental Health, Religion, and Culture.
As Rosh Beis Medrash, Rabbi Avraham Kivelevitz serves as Rav and Posek for the morning minyan at IDT. Hundreds of listeners around the globe look forward to his weekly Shiurim in Tshuvos and Poskim and Gaonic Literature
Rav Kivelevitz is a Maggid Shiur for Dirshu International in Talmud and Halacha as well as a Dayan with the Beth Din of America.

Rischa D'Araisa-Season 6-Episode 23-Does Florida's Anti-Woke Legislation need to be condemned on Torah Principles or commended?/Silver linings amidst Earthquake Rubble
The Bill outlaws subjecting any individual, as a condition of employment, membership, certification, licensing, credentialing, or passing an examination, to training, instruction, or any other required activity; or subjecting any K-20 public education student or employee to training or instruction, that espouses, promotes, advances, inculcates, or compels such individual to believe the following concepts constitutes an unlawful employment practice or unlawful discrimination:
Members of one race, color, national origin, or sex are morally superior to members of another race, color, national origin, or sex.
A person, by virtue of his or her race, color, national origin, or sex is inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive, whether consciously or unconsciously.
A person's moral character or status as either privileged or oppressed is necessarily determined by his or her race, color, national origin, or sex.
Members of one race, color, national origin, or sex cannot and should not attempt to treat others without respect to race, color, national origin, or sex.
A person, by virtue of his or her race, color, national origin, or sex bears responsibility for, or should be discriminated against or receive adverse treatment because of, actions committed in the past by other members of the same race, color, national origin, or sex.
A person, by virtue of his or her race, color, national origin, or sex should be discriminated against or receive adverse treatment to achieve diversity, equity, or inclusion.
A person, by virtue of his or her race, color, sex, or national origin, bears personal responsibility for and must feel guilt, anguish, or other forms of psychological distress because of actions, in which the person played no part, committed in the past by other members of the same race, color, national origin, or sex.
Such virtues as merit, excellence, hard work, fairness, neutrality, objectivity, and racial colorblindness are racist or sexist, or were created by members of a particular race, color, national origin, or sex to oppress members of another race, color, national origin, or sex.
However, training or instruction may include a discussion of such concepts if they are presented in an objective manner without endorsement.
Required Instruction
The bill defines individual freedoms based on the fundamental truth that all individuals are equal before the law and have inalienable rights. Accordingly, required instruction, instructional materials, and professional development in public schools must be consistent with the following principles of individual freedom:
No person is inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive, whether consciously or unconsciously, solely by virtue of his or her race or sex.
No race is inherently superior to another race.
No person should be discriminated against or receive adverse treatment solely or partly on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, disability, or sex.
Meritocracy or traits such as a hard work ethic are not racist but fundamental to the right to pursue happiness and be rewarded for industry.
A person, by virtue of his or her race or sex, does not bear responsibility for actions committed in the past by other members of the same race or sex.
A person should not be instructed that he or she must feel guilt, anguish, or other forms of psychological distress for actions, in which he or she played no part, committed in the past by other members of the same race or sex.
The bill authorizes discussion and curricula, in an age-appropriate manner, regarding topics such as sexism, slavery, racial oppression, racial segregation, and racial discrimination. However, the bill specifies that instruction and curricula may not be used to indoctrinate or persuade students to a particular point of view inconsistent with the principles of individual freedom or state academic standards.
The bill requires the State Board of Education to develop or adopt a “Stories of Inspiration” curriculum. This curriculum must consist of stories of American history that demonstrate important life skills and the principles of individual freedom that enabled individuals to prosper even in the most difficult circumstances.
The bill expands required instruction in the history of African-Americans. For example, the bill requires that African-American history instruction develop in students an understanding of the ramifications of prejudice, racism, and stereotyping on individual freedoms, and examine what it means to be a responsible and respectful person, for the purpose of encouraging tolerance of diversity and for nurturing and protecting democratic values and institutions.
The bill shifts the character development requirements for grades 9 through 12 and the mental and emotional health component of health education into newly required education on life skills, which specifies content intended to build confidence, support mental and emotional health, and enable students to overcome challenges.

Enjoying Tu BeShevat Fruit Responsibly-Understanding the Problem of Insect Infestation and When You Don't Have to Worry-A Shiur by Rav Dovid Cohen of CRC Kashrus lailui Nishmas Alan Kutner Z"l
It is customary to eat fruit which is grown in Eretz Yisrael on the 15th of Shevat and to eat fruit which one has not yet eaten that season so that the Shehecheyanu blessing can be recited……
The Book of Our Heritage
By Eliyahu Kitov
כל מיני פירות שדרכם להתליע בעודם מחוברים לקרקע,
לא יאכל עד שיבדוק הפרי מתוכו שמא יש בו תולעת,
שאותה תולעת אסורה משום שרץ השורץ על הארץ,
וכל שהאיסור מצוי חוששים לו וצריך בדיקה,
אף על פי שאינו מצוי ברוב אלא במיעוט,
כשם שבודקים את הריאה מפני הסירכות המצויות בה......
.............ולפיכך צריך לבדוק כל פרי ופרי בפני עצמו.

Standing in Two Worlds-Episode 71-Psycho Drama-Theater as a Medium of Self Awareness
The discussion begins with a review of a recentproduction of “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf” by a Modern Orthodox Jewish cast and crew at the Jerusalem Theater. Prof. Juni had organized a sizable group of friends and colleagues who attended the play and then participated in a focuseddiscussion group with the producer, crew, and key actors. The discussion is enriched by R. Kivelevitz’s encyclopedic mastery of the world of cinema and theater and its history.
The discussants compare and contrast the dynamics ofthe intended message (if any) which is evident in Method Acting vs. those one observes in such popular critically acclaimed fare as The Marvelous Miss Maisel and Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Juni argues that – in the latter – Larry David actually manages to bring Method Acting to a new high as he merely assignsspecific roles and scenarios allowing each actor to improvise their lines while the camera rolls.
R. Kivelevitz manages to maneuver Juni into sharingsome of his personal experiences as a “ham actor” in a number of performances –and to relate them to his current psychoanalytic perspective.
The main focus of the discussion between Juni and Rabbi Kivelevitz was on the pros and cons of Method Acting, with particular attention to its potential as a means to insight and self-discovery. Whereas the Stanislavsky approach was designed with attention to the psyche of the actors, Juni is a proponent of using theater as a vicarious therapeutic emotional experience for the audience. Elaborating on his approach, Juni grounds hisposition on several postulates:
A. Freud’s idea of Polymorphous Perversitywhich asserts that we all have unresolved conflicts in every feasible conflictarea;
B. Jacob Moreno’s hypotheses that actionengenders latent underlying emotions;
C. Cognitive Dissonance Theory which claimsthat feelings will be created artificially when one behaves in a dramatic manner.
Juni combines these diverse ideas as he argues that theateraudience members will inevitably be “dawn into” identifying with the protagonists if they leave themselves open to the experience. R. Kivelevitz points out that classic authors of fiction capitalize on this very orientation as well asin the construction and wording of their narratives.
Juni extolls the psychological virtues of Method Acting (in contrast to the Classical Shakespearean Style which stresses context and the Objective Approach).
R. Kivelevitz introduces the “Jewish connection”into the discussion by pointing to Stella Adler’s adaptation of Method Actingand its pivotal role in shaping Yiddish American Theater. He also engages Juni as they critique the confabulation of modern theater and the worldview of Orthodox Judaism – as the pair explore the dissonance that may be experienced by Modern Orthodox directors, actors, and audiences which elicits visceral responses totheir presentations.
R.Kivelevitz concludes by lauding a novel contemporary approach in self-discovery known as Improv Therapy, relating its rationale to a number of the points and dynamics raised in the discussion.
Prof. Juni is one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today. He has published ground-breaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.
He studied in Yeshivas Chaim Berlin under Rav Yitzchak Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as a Talmid of Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchik. Dr. Juni is a board member of the Association of Orthodox Jewish Scientists and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences. Associated with NYU since 1979, Juni has served as Director of PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in cutting-edge research. Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded on psychometric methodology and based on a psychodynamic psychopathology perspective. He is arguably the preeminent expert in Differential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studies entailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations.
Professor Juni created and directed the NYU Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titled Cross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments. Based in Yerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors.
Below is a partial list of the professional journals where Professor Juni has published 120 theoretical articles and his research findings (many are available online):
Journal of Forensic Psychology; Journal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma; International Review of Victimology; The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease; International Forum of Psychoanalysis; Journal of Personality Assessment; Journal of Abnormal Psychology; Journal of Psychoanalytic Anthropology; Psychophysiology; Psychology and Human Development; Journal of Sex Research; Journal of Psychology and Judaism; Contemporary Family Therapy; American Journal on Addictions; Journal of Criminal Psychology; Mental Health, Religion, and Culture.
As Rosh Beis Medrash, Rabbi Avraham Kivelevitz serves as Rav and Posek for the morning minyan at IDT. Hundreds of listeners around the globe look forward to his weekly Shiur in Tshuvos and Poskim.
Rav Kivelevitz is a Maggid Shiur for Dirshu International in Talmud and Halacha as well as a Dayan with the Beth Din of America.

Standing in Two Worlds-Episode 70-The thermo-therapeutic -dynamic of Jewish Stand-up Humor
How Contemporary Ethnic Stand-Up has Dragged Jewish Humor into the Gutter
We are witness to the recent appearance of Jewish stand-up comedians who – though allegedly grounded in PC/Woke equality and diversity principles – serve up anti-Jewish humor to appreciative wide audiences. The discussion begins with a focus on Ari Shaffir’s latest performance labeled “Jew” as a springboard for an overall analysis and debate of Jewish humor, branching out to Ethnic Humor and Self-Deprecating Humor, to the very essence of Humor Theory per se. Insofar as self-directed humor often serves as a disguised mode of criticism in context where explicit criticism is taboo, the discussants explore alternate recourses to questioning which might be available to youngsters and adults who are on the verge of breaking out of the constraints of stifling religious cultures.
Prof. Juni notes Shaffir’s methodology of Ecumenical Religio-Washing where repetitions of one anti-Catholic byte are interspersed throughout the diatribe in an attempt to temper the pointed anti-Jewish message of the presentation. Tellingly, Ari is “wise” enough not to incorporate any anti-Black (or much of anti-any-other-group) tidbits in his titillating racist, misogynist, antisemitic potpourri.
Rabbi Kivelevitz cites a number of classic comedians of the last two decades, as he argues that the Woke-sanctioned license to criticize Jews exists because they have been designated by the new demi-god of Intersectionality as part of the White Power-Structure, and thus excluded from the privileged PC diversity category which exempts some – and only some -- “minority” groups from criticism or critique.
Juni outlines the academic understanding of self-directed humor, highlighting several key elements:
a. The anti-Jew joke delivered by the Jew is intended to give the messages: Those people are not me at all, as evidenced by the fact that I am putting” them” down.
b. Here I am making fun of myself, so there is nothing more you can possibly say to denigrate me.
c. Since I am now in charge of hitting myself on the head, I can moderate just I hard I do it – and I’ll make sure it hurts me less than if you would hit me.
d. This is my “joking” way of criticizing the Jewish (or Orthodox, traditional, etc.) establishment with minimal retribution – being that it’s supposedly just being said in jest.
Zeroing in on the last element, Juni deplores the code of silence which characterizes much of traditional religious culture which forces many young people to abandon the system altogether – if they don’t have alternate venting options (such as humor). Prof. Juni elaborates that while behavioral codes are necessarily and even desirable in society, thought policing is the bane of healthy development. R. Kivelevitz emphatically disagrees with Juni’s stance, as he references a number of commentators who openly question some of the very same “absurdities” that Shaffir lambasts in his diatribes, which clearly indicates that challenging and questioning are parts of the standard discourse in traditional Jewish thought.
Prof. Juni is one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today. He has published ground-breaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.
He studied in Yeshivas Chaim Berlin under Rav Yitzchak Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as a Talmid of Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchik. Dr. Juni is a board member of the Association of Orthodox Jewish Scientists and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences. Associated with NYU since 1979, Juni has served as Director of PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in cutting-edge research. Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded on psychometric methodology and based on a psychodynamic psychopathology perspective. He is arguably the preeminent expert in Differential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studies entailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations.
Professor Juni created and directed the NYU Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titled Cross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments. Based in Yerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors.
Below is a partial list of the professional journals where Professor Juni has published 120 theoretical articles and his research findings (many are available online):
Journal of Forensic Psychology; Journal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma; International Review of Victimology; The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease; International Forum of Psychoanalysis; Journal of Personality Assessment; Journal of Abnormal Psychology; Journal of Psychoanalytic Anthropology; Psychophysiology; Psychology and Human Development; Journal of Sex Research; Journal of Psychology and Judaism; Contemporary Family Therapy; American Journal on Addictions; Journal of Criminal Psychology; Mental Health, Religion, and Culture.
As Rosh Beis Medrash, Rabbi Avraham Kivelevitz serves as Rav and Posek for the morning minyan at IDT. Hundreds of listeners around the globe look forward to his weekly Shiur in Tshuvos and Poskim.
Rav Kivelevitz is a Maggid Shiur for Dirshu International in Talmud and Halacha as well as a Dayan with the Beth Din of America.

Standing in Two Worlds-Episode 69-Plastering the Departed Person's Name on a Plaza won't Prolong Anything
The Memorial as a False Idol
The institution of naming streets and erecting buildings to honor heroes and others is scrutinized from sociological, psychological, and existential perspectives. As a parallel motif,the recent woke-grounded phenomenon of tearing down monuments and un-naming streets and endeavors is similarly analyzed. With some debate and qualifications,both discussants agree the intent in these namings is to keep the hero’s ideals alive for a long time, allowing him/her to exist even after death.
Prof. Juni argues that the extant dynamic here is anxiety about death and the dread of mortality. Psychiatrically,this effort would definitely be classified as delusional, but its pathology ismitigated by the fact that the tendency is so widespread across cultures.
Annotating his rebuttal from highlights from famous films and literary work, R. Kivelevitz presents his position that the primary impetus for these memorial efforts is the striving offamily members to keep alive the memory of a loved one. Thus, it is the survivors’ discomfort with the curtailed existence of their loved one which is central here rather than the yearnings of the deceased as such.
Juni goes on to elaborate that any human activity is inherently insignificant unless it is anchored in a transcendent belief system that features more than the physical world. Heargues that the drive to produce or to achieve any laudable goals is merely a sublimated neurotic effort to deal with death anxiety while being anchored in the recognition of existential meaninglessness.
Taking the political perspective of street naming -- particularly in Israel, Juni interprets the ubiquitous phenomenon as anaspect of colonization – i.e., affixing an indigenous Israeli stamp throughout the Jewish state. He sees this effort as a form of colonization via re-naming.
R. Kivelevitz concludes by recounting some of his own transcendent experiences in connection with memorials to sages and his Rabbinic mentors long departed, whose significanceJuni politely follows with demurrals.
Prof. Juni is one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today. He has published ground-breaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.
He studied in Yeshivas Chaim Berlin under Rav Yitzchak Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as a Talmid of Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchik. Dr. Juni is a board member of the Association of Orthodox Jewish Scientists and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences. Associated with NYU since 1979, Juni has served as Director of PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in cutting-edge research. Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded on psychometric methodology and based on a psychodynamic psychopathology perspective. He is arguably the preeminent expert in Differential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studies entailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations.
Professor Juni created and directed the NYU Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titled Cross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments. Based in Yerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors.
Below is a partial list of the professional journals where Professor Juni has published 120 theoretical articles and his research findings (many are available online):
Journal of Forensic Psychology; Journal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma; International Review of Victimology; The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease; International Forum of Psychoanalysis; Journal of Personality Assessment; Journal of Abnormal Psychology; Journal of Psychoanalytic Anthropology; Psychophysiology; Psychology and Human Development; Journal of Sex Research; Journal of Psychology and Judaism; Contemporary Family Therapy; American Journal on Addictions; Journal of Criminal Psychology; Mental Health, Religion, and Culture.
As Rosh Beis Medrash, Rabbi Avraham Kivelevitz serves as Rav and Posek for the morning minyan at IDT. Hundreds of listeners around the globe look forward to his weekly Shiur in Tshuvos and Poskim.
Rav Kivelevitz is a Maggid Shiur for Dirshu International in Talmud and Halacha as well as a Dayan with the Beth Din of America.

Standing in Two Worlds-Episode 68-What FaceTime Has Wrought
Distance Communication: Ultimate Facilitator of Knowledge or Bane of Intimacy?
R. Kivelevitz traces the social ramifications of distance communication – from the advent of letter writing to the world of modern electronics – in terms of interpersonal connectedness and the gradual eradication of privacy and personal space. Whereas face-to-face interactions are multi-sensory, letter writing provided communication that was limited to written words and content.Telephone added auditory context to words.
Juni stresses that intimacy is emotional and essentially bereft of context or informational exchange per se. He cites the halachic ritual of consoling the bereaved (Nichum Aveilim) where verbal communication is not essential and is even restricted. He harkens to the psychoanalytic perspective of relationships and interactional intimacy, citing the Freudian maxim that all relationships are not intrinsically determined by any personal characteristics of the other person or social context. Instead,they are mere efforts to re-enact the primal early relationships with one’s parents and entail a yearning to correct retroactively residual stressors from frustrating childhood relationships. The actual value of communication is therefore minimal, and any intimacy between adults is not genuine as it is merely a forced substitute for the now-bereft childhood closeness towards parents. Relationships that focus on sexuality, shared values, “love,” or enjoyment of life (for example) are thus psychodynamically superficial. As such, the only meaningful aspect of interpersonal interaction is the content of information-linked messages; emotional and relational issues are not genuinely linked to the present and thus functionally irrelevant to communication per se.
Juni contrasts the Freudian stance with that of Object Relations Theory (the branch of Psychoanalysis currently in vogue) which posits that the need for intimate relationships is hard-wired into the human psyche. This renders relationships as intrinsic to human existence – on par with food,sexuality, and avoidance of anxiety. From this perspective, the elimination of relational contexts engendered by distance communication represents a frontal attack against the very essence of relationships and rips into the fabric of social humanity.
Rabbi Kivelevitz offers a unique argument that the elimination of sensory input in communication other than words actually enhances the import of any message, insofar as all corollary nuances (e.g., seeing the communicator and physical context) distract the listener from the essence of the message. He points to the popularity of podcasts as evidence of his perspective, also noting that letter writing was often preferred to personal meetings in the middle ages – particularly in the world of Halachic responsa -- precisely for this reason. Kivelevitz expands his argument by evoking the current aesthetic perspective in the world of literature and the arts—namely that creations by authors and artisans are intended to be perceived differentially by different “consumers” and that there is no “real”or “valid” meaning to any product. Kivelevitz concretizes his perspective by pointing to the richness of traditional radio dramas of the mid-1900s, which were much richer in their import than any televised dramas – precisely because listeners constructed the visual imagery in their own minds based on their environmental context or worldviews.
Juni builds upon this approach, by forcing in the Freudian view
that such personal constructions in fact allow the listener to superimpose potent aspects of any drama on their own unresolved conflict icons of childhood frustrations they carry in their souls.
Of cultural relevance, Rabbi Kivelevitz focuses attention on halachic responsa of yesteryear debating whether prolonged intense communication by mail exchange constitutes “knowing” the other person and meets the halachic criteria of being in true contact.
Both discussants deplore the pervasive aspect of distance communication and the psychologically maladaptive FOMO Syndrome (fear of missing out) which render it virtually impossibleto disconnect from others at will. Internet holidays, widely prescribed by mental health practitioners,are rarely adopted by the population at large. Juni and Kivelevitz spend some time focusing specificallon the halachic quandary of many orthodox Jews – especially adolescents and young adults) who find themselves “compelled” to stay connected on Shabbat and religious holidays.
Prof. Juni is one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today. He has published ground-breaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.

Tshuvos and Poskim-"Eitzah LiHalacha ViLo Limaaseh"-Broad Shoulders of the Brazhaner-The Maharsham's solution to the complex Mamzer issue-an exploration by Rabbi Aryeh Klapper
בָּנֶיךָ וּבְנֹתֶיךָ נְתֻנִים לְעַם אַחֵר, וְעֵינֶיךָ רֹאוֹת, וְכָלוֹת אֲלֵיהֶם, כָּל-הַיּוֹם; וְאֵין לְאֵל, יָדֶךָ.
פְּרִי אַדְמָתְךָ וְכָל-יְגִיעֲךָ, יֹאכַל עַם אֲשֶׁר לֹא-יָדָעְתָּ; וְהָיִיתָ, רַק עָשׁוּק וְרָצוּץ--כָּל-הַיָּמִים.
וְהָיִיתָ, מְשֻׁגָּע, מִמַּרְאֵה עֵינֶיךָ, אֲשֶׁר תִּרְאֶה
As the Jewish people readied themselves to read the Parsha that outlines the contours of the terrible Galus we have endured
We note the resilience, ingenuity, and faith in the Halachic system of Rabbanim and Poskim who heroically and with great sensitivity dealt with the angst filled questions that arose in that world of constant warfare and strife
None Shone brighter than one who was considered by many as the pre-eminent authority of his time

Standing in Two Worlds-Episode 67-"Ani Lidodi Vidodi Li"- Contrasting and Conflating human and Divine concepts of Intimacy
R. Kivelevitz begins by analyzing the superficial features of the formalities which trivialize true love and intimacy, and decries how these special days are often exploited by those merely seeking fleeting encounters. On the other hand, Prof. Juni argues in favor of programmed “closeness rituals” as he points out that the beauty of meaningful relationships is often lost in the routine of daily activities.
The essence and function of intimacy and close relationships are analyzed from the perspectives of social Marxism and family economics. Basic theoretical divides are elaborated by the discussants: From the Freudian notion that all relationships are merely means to self-serving ends – to the stance of Ego Psychology which maintains that intimacy and love are basic human needs in of themselves – to Existentialist Humanism which view life without meaningful relationships as inherently empty. R. Kivelevitz extends the analysis to man’s relationship to Hashem, citing primal Kabalistic sources which conflate human intimacy themes with the sublime – which Juni interprets as sublimation from the psychoanalytic perspective. Dr. Juni finds a parallel in the Mormon approach to religious experience, citing studies from Brigham Young University about the experience of personal relationships to G-d.
Juni stresses the function of routines which express verbally and demonstratively the positivity between individuals, stressing that leaving these feelings in the implicit realm is a disservice to all and diminished the quality of relationships across the board.
Prof. Juni is one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today. He has published ground-breaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.
He studied in Yeshivas Chaim Berlin under Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as a Talmid of Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick. Dr. Juni is a board member of the Association of Orthodox Jewish Scientists and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences. Associated with NYU since 1979, Juni has served as Director of PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in cutting-edge research.Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic,and religious spectrum is founded on psychometric methodology and based on a psychodynamic psychopathology perspective. He is arguably the preeminent expert in Differential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studies entailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative andclinical populations.
Professor Juni created and directed the NYU Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titled Cross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments. Based in Yerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors.
Below is a partial list of the journals to which Professor Juni has contributed over 120 article (many are available online):
Journal of Forensic Psychology; Journal of Aggression,Maltreatment, and Trauma; International Review of Victimology; The Journal ofNervous and Mental Disease; International Forum of Psychoanalysis; Journal of Personality Assessment; Journal of Abnormal Psychology; Journal of Psychoanalytic Anthropology; Psychophysiology; Psychology and Human Development; Journal of Sex Research; Journal of Psychology and Judaism; Contemporary Family Therapy; American Journal on Addictions; Journal of Criminal Psychology; Mental Health, Religion, and Culture.
As Rosh Beis Medrash,Rabbi Avraham Kivelevitz serves as Rav and Posek for the morning minyan at IDT.Hundreds of listeners around the globe look forward to his weekly Shiur inTshuvos and Poskim.
Rav Kivelevitz is aMaggid Shiur for Dirshu International in Talmud and Halacha as well as a Dayanwith the Beth Din of America.

Standing in Two Worlds-66-The Overturning of Roe V.Wade-Exposing Raw Nerves and Exploring the Unique Mindset of the Pregnant Woman
R. Kivelevitz frames the discussion in dual directions: What is the mindset of a woman facing an unwanted pregnancy, and how has this issue become so firmly identified as one of right vs. wrong which is evoking anger and even violence on both sides?
Prof. Juni uses the contrast between the fallout of this issue in the United States vs. Israel to inform a major social-political underlying dynamic. The Israeli Haredi establishment are not crusading against abortion because they are not fervently concerned about the moral character of Israel outside of their narrow society. This contrasts with many Christians and Evangelicals who identify strongly as Americans and are willing to fight for American moral standards.
Both discussants agree that abortion is an issue which is much more salient to women than to men. At the same time, the concurrent hormonal features of pregnancy heighten the emotional components of the dilemma of the unwanted pregnancy and inject the quandary with subjectivity. Juni argues, however, that emotionality is a bone fide basis for decision making which is no less valid than rationality.
What is seen as confounding the debate and uproar here is the confluence of emotional subjectivity with the rational aspects of morality and legality. The “right to choose” is merely one facet of the debate, as it stands alongside a number of distinct moral, religious, and ethical issues. “Right for me” is seen as an oxymoron, since right is objective value and not a personal value. Politically, the right to choose has been drawn into the construct of Intersectionality, where so-called minority rights of various stripes have all been conflated into one general hodgepodge of political advocacy which bridges unrelated moral and social realities. Thus, we see here a demonization of the Supreme Court justices, even as individual activists on either side of the divide are vilified as deficient human beings with perverted values.
From a clinical perspective, Juni argues that any decision about abortion – whether pro or con – by a woman will always result in bouts of second thoughts, regrets, and guilt since decisions always feature ambivalence to some extent. He stresses that these dissonant feelings must be dealt with at the psychological level to avoid subsequent maladjustment and pathology.
Prof. Juni is one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today. He has published ground-breaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.
He studied in Yeshivas Chaim Berlin under Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as a Talmid of Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick.

Rabbis Shmuel Skaist and Avraham Kivelevitz represent Partzuphim- Going Against Protocol-A New type of Anti-Semitism in America?
Due to the uptick of anti-semitic attacks again,and as we contemplate our life in Galus during the three weeks-we represent
a discussion Rabbi Skaist and I had about the tension between the African American community and Orthodox Jews and whether the anti-semitic attacks are an indicator of something new and different.
Rabbis Skaist and Kivelevitz discuss whether the horrific attacks in Jersey City and Monsey herald a new more dangerous type of Anti-Semitism or whether this is just a old phenomena in slightly newer garb.The Rabbis debate if soul searching is appropriate and if a new calibration needs to take place on the Orthodox Jewish attitude towards the African-American community.The opinions of the Rambam and the Netziv are dealt with in a 21st Century context.

Standing in Two Worlds-65-"Get to the Point, Already!"- Unraveling Stuttering and other disfluencies and The Prejudices that Surrounds them
Prof. Juni begins by charting humanity’s ignominious tradition of attributing malice onto those of us whose maladies we fail to understand. Even after prejudice toward the physically disabled began to wane, this ignoble tendency remained steadfast when we confronted illnesses with no blatant physical cause, and especially when we saw people behaving “irrationality. Moored in the legends of the archetypal Eve whose defiance of G-d’s anti-apple injunction was “necessarily” caused by an unholy alliance with the evil snake, we consequently burned “nefarious” witches, performed gruesome exorcisms on hapless victims who “obviously” consorted (implicitly or explicitly) with the devil, shamed those of “poor moral character,” lambasted depressives, disparaged the anxious, and humiliated non-achievers as lazy-good-for-nothings.
Juni contextualizes this phenomenon, arguing that “blaming the victim” has been the prevalent response to injustice for millennia across all cultures. This stance serves a defensive psychological function: if we were to accept the presence of unexplained causes of maladies which are beyond the control of victims, then it would engender massive anxiety among all of us lest we, too, might become victims. Far better to see victims as sinners, incompetents, or of “bad character” – thus assuring ourselves immunity from such travails.
Focusing on stammering and stuttering, the discussant agree that verbal dysfluency evinces an inhibition of verbal expression which the speaker desperately attempts to battle. Juni elaborates traditional Freudian theory which anchors such dysfluencies in symbolic expressions of underlying sexual and aggressive inhibitive responses. The notion here is that the ego is inhibiting free verbal expression to avoid the likelihood that inappropriate sexual and aggressive content would burst forth from the repressed unconscious of individuals who suffered childhood traumatic experiences. Modern day psychoneurologists have succeeded, for the most part, in discrediting these hypothesized dynamics, pointing to spurious neurological inhibitions and recursive activation loops as the likely underlying causes.
Rabbi Kivelevitz highlights the significant self-esteem and self-efficacy deficits which become intrinsic in individuals with speech dysfluency, referencing both prominent historical figures (such as Joe Biden and King Arthur) as well as examples from his own constituents whom he counsels. Capitalizing on cultural humor as the gateway to prejudice, Juni illustrates the pejorative demeaning stereotypes of dysfluent individuals which pervade the biases of even the kindest and interpersonally sensitive among us. R. Kivelevitz stresses that notwithstanding the current medical understanding of dysfluency as a physiological and conditioned behavioral disorder, counseling is an absolute requirement for sufferers of this malady due to pervasive social censure and self-debasing tendencies.
Prof. Juni is one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today. He has published ground-breaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.
He studied in Yeshivas Chaim Berlin under Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as a Talmid of Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick. Dr. Juni is a board member of the Association of Orthodox Jewish Scientists and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences. Associated with NYU since 1979, Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in cutting-edge research. Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded on psychometric methodology and based on a psychodynamic psychopathology perspective. He is arguably the preeminent expert in Differential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studies entailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations.
Professor Juni created and directed the NYU Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titled Cross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments. Based in Yerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors.

The Projectionist Has Semicha-37-Don't Colorize, Digitalize,or PC Alter-Preserving the Debatable Integrity of Old Movies and Classic TV-with Professor Thomas Shubilla
After hearing the episode please consider purchasing
Primetime 1966-1967: The Full Spectrum of Television's First All-Color Season
by Thom “Beefstew” Shubilla
The year 1966 was when many TV viewers all over America discovered the wonders of 'in living color.' The 1966-1967 primetime television lineup was remarkable not only for the legendary shows that aired, but also because it was the first season in which every show on primetime, across all three major networks, was broadcast entirely in color. Celebrating this iconic year of television, this book covers every scripted episodic show that aired on the ABC, CBS, and NBC networks during the 1966-1967 season in primetime. It includes longtime favorites such as Batman, Bonanza, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, and The Lucy Show and the notable shows that premiered that year such as Star Trek, The Monkees, Green Hornet, Mission: Impossible, It's About Time, and the color revival of Dragnet. Organized by genre, each entry examines a show from conception to cancelation (and sometimes beyond), ratings, critical and fan reactions, and the show's use of color.
Thom 'Beefstew' Shubilla is a professor of speech communication at Luzerne County Community College in Northeastern Pennsylvania and writes for Screem and Monster Bash Magazines. He lives in Plains Township, Pennsylvania.

Standing in Two Worlds- 64-After Uvalde-Making Sense of the Horror- Plumbing the Psychoses of School Shooters
A replay of an episode from last December that deserves to be heard again
The social and psychological determinants of apparently senseless killings are analyzed. The basic attributions to the availability of guns, violence in the media, and radical ideology are critically evaluated. Prof. Juni argues against the grouping of lone mass shooters (who have keen psychiatric disturbances related to their own traumatic histories) with religious terrorists (who do not necessarily manifest clear personal disorders). Prevention strategies and education of gatekeepers are debated. Dr. Juni points out that many of these individuals suffer from atrocious parenting histories, suggesting that secondary prevention efforts might be more effective in counseling individuals before they become parents – and perhaps guiding many of them to eschew raising children altogether.
Prof. Juni is one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today. He has published ground-breaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.
He studied in Yeshivas Chaim Berlin under Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as a Talmid of Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick. Dr. Juni is a board member of the Association of Orthodox Jewish Scientists and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences. Associated with NYU since 1979, Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in cutting-edge research. Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded on psychometric methodology and based on a psychodynamic psychopathology perspective. He is arguably the preeminent expert in Differential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studies entailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations.
Professor Juni created and directed the NYU Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titled Cross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments. Based in Yerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors.
Below is a partial list of the journals to which Professor Juni has contributed over 120 article (many are available online): Journal of Forensic Psychology; Journal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma; International Review of Victimology; The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease; International Forum of Psychoanalysis; Journal of Personality Assessment; Journal of Abnormal Psychology; Journal of Psychoanalytic Anthropology; Psychophysiology; Psychology and Human Development; Journal of Sex Research; Journal of Psychology and Judaism; Contemporary Family Therapy; American Journal on Addictions; Journal of Criminal Psychology; Mental Health, Religion, and Culture.
As Rosh Beis Medrash, Rabbi Avraham Kivelevitz serves as Rav and Posek for the morning minyan at IDT. Hundreds of listeners around the globe look forward to his weekly Shiur in Tshuvos and Poskim.
Rav Kivelevitz is a Maggid Shiur for Dirshu International in Talmud and Halacha as well as a Dayan with the Beth Din of America.

Tshuvos and Poskim-If we could write fetal protection legislation-A conversation with Professor Rabbi Michael Broyde on Abortion
שאין זה הדבר השייך לממשלה ומדינה
כי זה ענין פרטי לכל אדם בעצמו
והוא ענין הנוגע לתורה והלכה
של אמונתנו
Igros Moshe, Hashkafa 4 (at the end of volume 9) referring to end of life decisions
'With all the ink spilled over the possible overturning of Roe, and the possible return of abortion rights to the fifty states for regulation, it is surprising that not much has been written on the important Jewish law question: What is Halachic Judaism’s perspective on what the fetal protections should be in the secular legislation that is the hallmark of the United States Government?
Neither Roe, nor its repeal, exactly parallels Jewish Law.
If Rabbis,Poskim and Traditional Jewish Philosophers and ethicists could fashion the abortion law in America, what would it be?'
Michael Broyde
The Issur Ben Tzvi Hersh
Tshuvos and Poskim Shiur
presents a conversation with
one of the leading Jewish scholars of our day
Rabbi Michael J.Broyde
professor of law at Emory University School of Law
senior fellow and projects director
at the Center for the Study of Law and Religion
Following Rav Moshe’s General Directives
Responsibility in a Free Republic
Can we seek to enforce The Laws of Ben Noach ?
Rabbi Michael J. Broyde is professor of law at Emory University School of Law and senior fellow and projects director at the Center for the Study of Law andReligion at Emory University.

He was the Founding Rabbi of the Young Israel of Atlanta. Rabbi Kivelevitz discusses with Broyde aspects of his newest work Settingthe Table: An Introduction to the Jurisprudence of Rabbi Yechiel Mikhel Epstein’s Arukh HaShulhan(co-authored with Shlomo Pill of the Center for the Study of Law and Religion) .The conversation serves as a cogent explication of how the Aruch HaShulchan differs essentially from the Mishna Brurah in aims and methodology. Rabbi Broyde's most recent books are Sex in the Garden: Consensual Encounters Gone Bad in Genesis(Wifpf & Stock, 2019),Sharia Tribunals, Rabbinical Courts, and Christian Panels: Religious Arbitration in America and the West(Oxford Press, 2017) andA Concise Code of Jewish Law for Converts(Urim, 2017). In addition to his many books, Broydehas written more than 250 articles and book chapters on various aspects of law and religion, Jewish law, and religious ethics, as well as an often-cited article on impeachment in theHarvard Journal of Law and Public Policy.He has written on military ethics from a Jewish law view, marriage and divorce in the Jewish tradition, bioethical dilemmas from a religious view, women’s rights in the Jewish tradition, the general relationship between secular and Jewish law in its many different facets. A list of his works may be found on hiswebsite.Broydehas been a visiting professor at Stanford,Hebrew University,and most recently theUniversity of Warsaw Law School in Polandand in theInterdisciplinaryCollege of Lawin Herzliya,Israel.He received a juris doctorfrom New York University and published a note on its law review.

From Rabbi Krohn's Tribute
'In May 2022, on the 17th day of Sefira, one of the finest mechanchim of our generation, Rabbi Moshe Neuman passed away. Rabbi Neuman was close to my family for more than five decades and inspired thousands of talmidos in the Bais Yaakov of Queens throughout his tenure as principal
There are few people who are beloved and revered by everyone they come in contact with. Rabbi Moshe Neuman, the esteemed principal of the Bais Yaakov of Queens for close to fifty years (!), was such an individual. His radiant smile and unique capacity to make any person, child and adult alike feel special, was a gift bestowed on him from Hashem.
It is no wonder that his levaya was on the 17th day of Sefira which is referred to as Tifferes She’betifferes, the beauty of beauty. Rabbi Neuman was impeccable in his outer appearance and equally immaculate in his inner soul and demeanor. It was an honor to know him.
As a young man, he did not see himself as a rebbi or principal. Both he and his parents thought he would be a tax lawyer, but his venerated Rosh Yeshiva, Rav Yitzchok Hutner (1906-1980) of Yeshiva Chaim Berlin, from whom he received s’micha, guided him, even before he was married, to take a position as a rebbi in Detroit. Though his mother was against his not starting law school, she said to him, “If this is what your rebbi tells you, you must listen.”
He was only going to be there for six months, but Rabbi Joseph Elias (1919-2014), the principal of Bais Yehudah at the time, realized this young man’s remarkable pedagogical talent and thus after a while offered him the additional position of assistant principal. He was in Detroit for four years where he taught alongside other legendary mechanchim, such as Rabbi Sholom Goldstein and Rabbi Abba Friedman.
After his tenure in Detroit, he married Rivka (nee Hollander) and they became a team of Chinuch for more than 50 years.
The Neumans first lived in Allentown, Pa. where he was both the Assistant Rabbi of the community and principal of the school.
In 1961, six askanim in Kew Gardens, New York, Mr. Danny and Moshe Sukenik, Paul Atlas, Irving Schonbrun, Abe Bornstein and Rabbi Beryl Merling, sought a principal that would guide and build the small Bais Yaakov in Queens that at the time had only 27 girls. They chose Rabbi Moshe Neuman.
During his long tenure, he guided thousands of children, their children and then their grandchildren, and built the school to close to 800 students, blee ayin horah.
The Torah (Shmos 3:4) tells us that Moshe Rabeinu was סר לראות ‘he turned to see’ the burning bush. The Medrash (Shemos Rabbah 1:27), explains this could not mean only that Moshe turned to see this extraordinary phenomenon. Anyone would turn to see it. Rather this was a redeeming quality, “He turned to look at the travails of his brothers and sisters in Mitzrayim.”
Rav Chatzkel Levenstein (1885-1974), the Mashgiach at the Ponevezher Yeshiva said, “We see from here that Moshe Rabeinu was chosen for leadership not because of his wisdom, nor his greatness but because he was Nosey B’ol Chaveiroh. He cared!
Rabbi Neuman personified this caring with every student he ever had. He knew every single one by first name. At the Bais Yaakov every morning, Rabbi Neuman would greet every girl that came off the bus with a smile and encouraging word. He lived in Boro Park but came to school in Queens early so he would be there when the buses arrived. No matter what a child was going through at home, she were assured of a warm comforting welcome when she arrived in school.
This was repeated when the children left school, boarding the buses as they went home. Every child and parent knew Rabbi Neuman would always be there. To him nothing was more important than a child’s well being. He was the סר לראות the Torah writes about Moshe Rabeinu.
The noted mechnech, Rabbi Hillel Mandel, once told me that principals must perform a difficult juggling act trying to accommodate four separate groups: students, teachers, the parent body and board members. Remarkably, Rabbi Neuman was up to the task. The teachers revered him, the parents admired him, the board members lauded him and over the years, thousands of students wanted to marry him.
His students never forgot the principal that they loved and respected. He did not hesitate to sit on the floor with a crying student, or modify the grading system for a transfer student who was not yet on the level of her peers. He commiserated with a homesick 3rd grader and empathized with a 5th grader whose feelings were hurt. All this while still maintaining a high standard of education throughout the school. His eighth grade graduates shined in the high schools they attended. Every former student who got married treasured the fact that Rabbi Neuman was at their wedding, taking time to share their simcha
He was committed to live an exalted life for Hashem. He did that by teaching and being a role model for generations of girls and young women in Klal Yisroel.
Yehi Zichro Boruch.'

Standing in Two Worlds-Episode 63-Streaming Overdoses and Social Media Depression
Drawing on Rabbi Kivelevitz’s extensive pastoral mentoring experience and Prof. Juni’s clinical and research findings, the discussants annotate how electronic media has insidiously been chipping away at the foundations of healthy interpersonal relationships and adaptive self-representations. These have especially as these have stymied healthy psychological development of adolescents. Initially, the telephone – and then radio entertainment and television -- fostered increased passivity. Then, as we went from email to instant messaging, the notions of downtime, leisurely conversations, curling up with a book, living-in-the-world, and even taking time to ponder were steadily banished to the realm of the boring. These have been replaced by ever-metastasizing short-term bucket-lists powered by FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) fueled by fictitious friendships and goals. Unrealistic ideals and norms aggressively usurped all aspects of personal values and social life. Presently, virtual reality is deteriorating the foundations of mental health -- especially among adolescents -- as relentless online schedules foster additive patterns, fatigue-based depression, and emotional exhaustion.
Prof. Juni couches this tsunami in terms of Object Relations Theory which posits that meaningful interpersonal relationships entail a basic human need. The patterns described above have thus been tearing at the very essence of the human experience, and their psychiatric repercussions are of no surprise to Mental Health professionals.
Kivelevitz extends the analysis to the specific acculturation of the Haredi world to this new reality, outlining the substantial changes manifest among both the leadership and the lay community.
As for stemming the tide in general, and specific family reparative strategies, Dr. Juni insists that the horse has left the barn and envisions no reasonable corrective strategies. The discussants do, however, explore some options which may blunt its repercussions in terms of self-concept and family relationships.
Prof. Juni is one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today. He has published ground-breaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.
He studied in Yeshivas Chaim Berlin under Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as a Talmid of Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick. Dr. Juni is a board member of the Association of Orthodox Jewish Scientists and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences. Associated with NYU since 1979, Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in cutting-edge research. Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded on psychometric methodology and based on a psychodynamic psychopathology perspective. He is arguably the preeminent expert in Differential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studies entailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations.
Professor Juni created and directed the NYU Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titled Cross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments. Based in Yerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors.
Below is a partial list of the journals to which Professor Juni has contributed over 120 article (many are available online): Journal of Forensic Psychology; Journal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma; International Review of Victimology; The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease; International Forum of Psychoanalysis; Journal of Personality Assessment; Journal of Abnormal Psychology; Journal of Psychoanalytic Anthropology; Psychophysiology; Psychology and Human Development; Journal of Sex Research; Journal of Psychology and Judaism; Contemporary Family Therapy; American Journal on Addictions; Journal of Criminal Psychology; Mental Health, Religion, and Culture.
As Rosh Beis Medrash, Rabbi Avraham Kivelevitz serves as Rav and Posek for the morning minyan at IDT. Hundreds of listeners around the globe look forward to his weekly Shiur in Tshuvos and Poskim.
Rav Kivelevitz is a Maggid Shiur for Dirshu International in Talmud and Halacha as well as a Dayan with the Beth Din of America.

Standing in Two Worlds-Episode 62-Understanding Cross Cultural Pesach Season Cleaning Obsessions and Seder Psychoses
The annual pre-Passover hullabaloo is marked in Jewish families by its frenzy, its pressure-cooker atmosphere, and predictable squabbles with family members. In different sectors, these include standard issues which arise in families during Spring Cleaning across all cultures. But there are also distinct Passover-related conflicts relating to the divergence of male and female attitudes toward ritual cleaning standards, menus, Seder attendance, participation in the Seder ceremonies, sharing responsibilities, and feelings unappreciated – among others.
As Rabbi Kivelevitz highlights aspects of this period which seem related to larger psychological and religious references to dirt and obsessive compulsive patterns, Prof. Juni couches these features in terms of their symbolic ”purging dirt” representations of self-abnegation stemming from guilt over sin and indiscretion. With the truism that Passover and Yom Kippur are the two quintessential holidays of the year for Jews of all stripes and denominations, both discussants zero in on parallels between the yearly chametz cleaning ritual and the yearly sin cleansing which characterizes Yom Kippur.
From a psychoanalytic religio-cultural lens based on the conceptualization of Hans Sachs, Dr. Juni introduces the construct of the unconscious of a group which construes the meaning of a cultural keystone based on the overall motif of a culture regardless of how particular individuals deal with it. Suggestions are offered by the discussants on more adaptive approaches to the entire behavioral quagmire of Passover and how to make the holiday more meaningful and less stressful for the family.
Prof. Juni is one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today. He has published ground-breaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.
He studied in Yeshivas Chaim Berlin under Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as a Talmid of Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick. Dr. Juni is a board member of the Association of Orthodox Jewish Scientists and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences. Associated with NYU since 1979, Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in cutting-edge research. Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded on psychometric methodology and based on a psychodynamic psychopathology perspective. He is arguably the preeminent expert in Differential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studies entailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations.
Professor Juni created and directed the NYU Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titled Cross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments. Based in Yerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors.
Below is a partial list of the journals to which Professor Juni has contributed over 120 article (many are available online): Journal of Forensic Psychology; Journal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma; International Review of Victimology; The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease; International Forum of Psychoanalysis; Journal of Personality Assessment; Journal of Abnormal Psychology; Journal of Psychoanalytic Anthropology; Psychophysiology; Psychology and Human Development; Journal of Sex Research; Journal of Psychology and Judaism; Contemporary Family Therapy; American Journal on Addictions; Journal of Criminal Psychology; Mental Health, Religion, and Culture.
As Rosh Beis Medrash, Rabbi Avraham Kivelevitz serves as Rav and Posek for the morning minyan at IDT. Hundreds of listeners around the globe look forward to his weekly Shiur in Tshuvos and Poskim.
Rav Kivelevitz is a Maggid Shiur for Dirshu International in Talmud and Halacha as well as a Dayan with the Beth Din of America.

Standing in Two Worlds- Episode 61-"...Vies Sigmundasa!" A Freudian take on Haman and Achashveirosh
With just a tad of frivolity, Rabbi Kivelevitz and Prof. Juni conduct joint armchair psychoanalysis of the Purim narrative. With Kivelevitz highlighting the textual nuances in the primary scenes, Dr. Juni presents the serious pathology of narcissism as a character disorder of both Achashverosh and Haman, while Kivelevitz hones in on impulse control issues of the protagonists. Juni explains the irrational, grandiose, and self-defeating behaviors by pointing out that the pursuit of narcissistic self-aggrandizement is nothing more than a desperate effort to avoid repetitions of early traumatic disappointment, hurt, and embarrassment. Taking the socio-cultural perspectives, Kivelevitz shows how personal pathology finds expression in hedonistic excess, racist stereotyping, and attempted genocide.
Prof. Juni is one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today. He has published ground-breaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.
He studied in Yeshivas Chaim Berlin under Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as a Talmid of Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick. Dr. Juni is a board member of the Association of Orthodox Jewish Scientists and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences. Associated with NYU since 1979, Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in cutting-edge research. Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded on psychometric methodology and based on a psychodynamic psychopathology perspective. He is arguably the preeminent expert in Differential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studies entailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations.

Based in Yerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors.
Below is a partial list of the journals to which Professor Juni has contributed over 120 article (many are available online): Journal of Forensic Psychology; Journal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma; International Review of Victimology; The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease; International Forum of Psychoanalysis; Journal of Personality Assessment; Journal of Abnormal Psychology; Journal of Psychoanalytic Anthropology; Psychophysiology; Psychology and Human Development; Journal of Sex Research; Journal of Psychology and Judaism; Contemporary Family Therapy; American Journal on Addictions; Journal of Criminal Psychology; Mental Health, Religion, and Culture.
As Rosh Beis Medrash, Rabbi Avraham Kivelevitz serves as Rav and Posek for the morning minyan at IDT. Hundreds of listeners around the globe look forward to his weekly Shiur in Tshuvos and Poskim.

Standing in Two Worlds Episode 60- Stranger Pain-Behind the Religious Political Battle over Conversions in Israel lies important psychological understanding of the candidate's motivation
Rabbi Kivelevitz explores the current contentious situation concerning conversions which has engulfed the Rabbinate, the Israeli political establishment, and the leading organizations of Jewish denominations abroad. He presents the Halachic perspective of the controversy. Prof. Juni comments on the sociological corollaries of the conflict, as he introduces a host of psychological/psychiatric truisms and folklore attributions concerning converts. The discussants then differentiate among types of conversion based on individual motivations and socio-cultural characteristics.Prof. Juni is one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today. He has published ground-breaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.
He studied in Yeshivas Chaim Berlin under Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as a Talmid of Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick. Dr. Juni is a board member of the Association of Orthodox Jewish Scientists and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences. Associated with NYU since 1979, Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in cutting-edge research. Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded on psychometric methodology and based on a psychodynamic psychopathology perspective. He is arguably the preeminent expert in Differential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studies entailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations.
Professor Juni created and directed the NYU Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titled Cross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments. Based in Yerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors.
Below is a partial list of the journals to which Professor Juni has contributed over 120 article (many are available online): Journal of Forensic Psychology; Journal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma; International Review of Victimology; The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease; International Forum of Psychoanalysis; Journal of Personality Assessment; Journal of Abnormal Psychology; Journal of Psychoanalytic Anthropology; Psychophysiology; Psychology and Human Development; Journal of Sex Research; Journal of Psychology and Judaism; Contemporary Family Therapy; American Journal on Addictions; Journal of Criminal Psychology; Mental Health, Religion, and Culture.
As Rosh Beis Medrash, Rabbi Avraham Kivelevitz serves as Rav and Posek for the morning minyan at IDT. Hundreds of listeners around the globe look forward to his weekly Shiur in Tshuvos and Poskim.
Rav Kivelevitz is a Maggid Shiur for Dirshu International in Talmud and Halacha as well as a Dayan with the Beth Din of America.

Standing in Two Worlds-Episode 59-The Neurotic Minefields of a Second Marriage
Prof. Juni begins with the assertion that first marriages and subsequent ones are equally legitimate efforts, and that their rationales are identical. Rabbi Kivelevitz notes loneliness and the need for companionship as a major theme in remarriages. Juni counters that limiting certain motifs (e.g., love, sexuality, bashert / soul-mates) solely to the first relationship is erroneous and deceptive. The discussants outline inevitable emotional tensions and practical hurdles in second relationships. Kivelevitz highlights challenges these are most troublesome in reconstituted families with younger children.
Financial issues often are seen as engendering suspicion and mistrust in all relationships, and these are particularly exacerbated in remarriages where there are adult children in the picture. Guilt and betrayal are major factors of distress which appear if the previous spouse is deceased, but much less prevalent following divorces. Responding to the question whether people should remarry or merely share each other's company in a constant manner, Juni opines that there are clear pro and con reasons for both options in every situation, and that there are always distinct positive and negative repercussions inherent in any relationship.
Prof. Juni is one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today. He has published ground-breaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.

Standing in Two Worlds-Episode 58-Cramming for the Hebrew Test-The Psycho-Social Ramifications of Living in a Compressed Urbanized Country
Rabbi Kivelevitz begins the podcast by charting out the social and psychological challenges of in transitioning from the privacy of an individual home (with your own backyard) in a culture which values individuality to a sardine-like existence in a multiple dwelling within a cultures where everyone’s nose is in your business.
Prof. Juni explores an important cornerstone of Child Development Theory which entails the process of identity formation. At the most basic level, we are dealing with Ego Boundaries – namely, where does my body and my essence end -- in the context of other beings and even the physical environment. The infant begins as an inextricable part of mother, and it takes many years to differentiate from caregivers and the physical environment. This process is known as identity formation. As our lives evolve or change, we continuously jettison (project) certain aspects of ourselves while we incorporate (introject) elements of the outside into our very beings and make them part of who we see ourselves to be.
Moving to an environment where practically all of your neighbors share your religion, national identity, values, and paramount concerns lends itself to an expansion of ego boundaries. In parallel, moving into a condominium complex where you share facilities and infrastructure redefines how you construe “your turf.” Moreover, forced daily interaction with neighbors close off some learned options of privacy. All of these factors inevitable result in a change of identity. To a certain extent, one becomes incapable of seeing oneself as separate from surrounding and people with whom so much is shared. The psychological and social challenges of such a transition are highlighted.
Prof. Juni is one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today. He has published ground-breaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.
He studied in Yeshivas Chaim Berlin under Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as a Talmid of Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick. Dr. Juni is a board member of the Association of Orthodox Jewish Scientists and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences. Associated with NYU since 1979, Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in cutting-edge research. Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded on psychometric methodology and based on a psychodynamic psychopathology perspective. He is arguably the preeminent expert in Differential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studies entailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations.
Professor Juni created and directed the NYU Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titled Cross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments. Based in Yerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors.
Below is a partial list of the journals to which Professor Juni has contributed over 120 article (many are available online): Journal of Forensic Psychology; Journal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma; International Review of Victimology; The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease; International Forum of Psychoanalysis; Journal of Personality Assessment; Journal of Abnormal Psychology; Journal of Psychoanalytic Anthropology; Psychophysiology; Psychology and Human Development; Journal of Sex Research; Journal of Psychology and Judaism; Contemporary Family Therapy; American Journal on Addictions; Journal of Criminal Psychology; Mental Health, Religion, and Culture.

Standing in Two Worlds-Episode 57-Cleaning up Walderworld- Responding to New Rabbinic Guidelines for Preventing Molestation and Abuse
The preventative prescriptions recently promoted by Rabbi Ron Eisenman (Passaic NJ) and Rabbi Moshe Meiselman (Jerusalem) in reaction to recent revelations of profound abuse and examined and analyzed. The list ranges from limitations on interactions with babysitters -- to referring clients to psychotherapists of the other sex – to giving parents open access to the children’s therapy sessions – to advising parents how to counsel children about abuse. These recommendations are evaluated and critiqued in detail by the panel. An overall problem with all of them is that they clearly have no scientific basis and are apparently cobbled together from the personal experiences of these Rabbis and anecdotal data which passes as evidence. Moreover, the panel took exception to various aspects, scenarios, and potential perpetrators of abuse which these prescriptions are apparently unaware of – including some which are more common than the narrow therapy and babysitting focus.
Rabbi Skaist and Prof. Juni point out that the lack of credentialing and proper training of clergy, so-called “therapists” and teachers – and the unwarranted granting of the professional mantle to Rabbis, teachers, coaches, and advisors of all sorts – is the major source of the outrageous abuse torrent of late. Expounding on the crucial need for supervision of those who wield interpersonal power, two distinct causes of malpractice are elaborated. One entails countertransference; simply defined, this is a very common unconscious interpersonal tendency among us all to imbue interactions with personal motifs and to distort relationships based on their own frustrated needs in their personal life (or history). Generally unknown to the potential perpetrator, these motifs are likely to be discovered in supervision which would then prompt the well-intentioned therapist to avoid his/her interference in the helping relationship. The other source of malpractice is the powerful individual who is consciously bent on inappropriate behavior, albeit with some (tenuous) rationale. In such cases, supervision is certain to expose the inappropriateness head on. Rabbi Skaist goes beyond the advantages of supervision, stressing that therapists, who are themselves therapy clients as well, are least likely to interact with their clients in any manner which is not designed to be helpful.
The blanket lack of recognition of the importance of confidentiality in therapeutic and counseling relationships in the proposed guidelines is critiqued by the panel in detail. Non-confidentiality is sure to render helping interactions effete and useless.
The discussants are very critical of the notion of setting up parents as “the” gatekeepers against abuse. Besides the lack of training of most parents and the prevalent lack of basic parenting skills across the board, many parents are described as actually enabling and abetting abuse – albeit often unknowingly. The lack of making professional advice and referral a key aspect of abuse prevention is seen as a glaring absence in the Rabbinic guidelines.
Rabbi Skaist argues that the degree of abuse which is assumed to exist in psychotherapy situations(in the above-noted proclamations) is incorrect and not at all data-based. Taking off from Dr. Juni’s summary of the recommendations as “throwing out the baby with the bathwater,” Rabbi Kivelevitz argues that the knee-jerk reaction to impose limitations on therapeutic and household interactions may well be fostered by the current covid-powered and negative-media-based zeitgeist of mistrust which has pervaded society as a whole.
Prof. Juni is one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today. He has published ground-breaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.

Standing in Two Worlds with Doctor Sam Juni-Episode 56-Mind of a Monster-Chaim Walder's Suicide Note Submitted to a Forensic Psychologist
Based on the assumption of guilt indicated by the many accusations of victims and the presumption that the handwritten suicide note is legitimate, Prof. Juni presents a psychological analysis of the perpetrator in an elaborated context of psychopathy, character disorder, and psychiatric disturbance that characterize suicidal individuals. (Each of these concepts is explained in laymen’s terms to accommodate our wide audience.) The seemingly indiscriminate spectrum of Walder’s victims – from boys to girls to adults –has crucial diagnostic implications. We are not dealing here with problem of impulse dysregulation (i.e., a sexual acting-out disorder). Instead, the perpetrator suffered from a severe underlying developmental fixation. This means that he was in the grip of profound pre-sexual childhood issues which became mired in aggressive outbursts, and that his offenses were precipitated by unresolved inner hounding related to interpersonal dependency and dominance.
The irrational and disturbed thought processes inherent in suicidal patients are annotated in the specifics of the note. These are contrasted from rational suicides – such as terminal illness patients, existential philosophers who eschew life, and incarcerated individuals (or prisoners of war) who decline to face horrific living conditions.
Juni points out his rejection of Thanatos Theory, arguing that suicide is most reasonably conceptualized as guilt-based. Along this approach, Juni also considers an alternative hypothesis that Walder was a true psychopath and that his suicide note was merely another of his manipulations to secure a source of sympathy and income for his family.
Rabbi Kivelevitz presents the profiles of a number of scholars and artists who manifested significant flaws, pushing the question of whether Walder’s shortcomings must not necessarily doom his significant corpus of work which has been hailed by educators and Developmental professionals. Not taking a definitive stance, Juni equivocates as he stresses that it is difficult to ascertain whether Walder’s perversity is imbued in his work, arguing that it would all hinge of whether we are dealing here with psychopathy or a more profound psychiatric disorder.

Standing in Two Worlds with Doctor Sam Juni-Episode 55-The Witness is Excused-Mourning the Last Holocaust Survivors
The perspective of Second Generation Survivors on the crucial testimony of the Holocaust generation is outlined, along with the unverbalized taboos (sacred cows) about the victims. R. Kivelevitz points out that personal histories are crucial to survivors and their families despite the subjective nature of anecdotal narratives, arguing that anecdotes are ideal in allowing the catharsis of painful experiences. Taking the position of witness psychology, Prof. Juni describes the creative, fill-in-the-blanks process which characterize all retrospective memories as he presents the contemporary forensic maxims which eschew the reliability of the testimony of witnesses to crime. Based in his clinical work with trauma patients, Dr. Juni is emphatic that the accuracy of victim testimony in traumatic contexts is close to zero. R. Kivelevitz adds that all of the Holocaust survivors who had remained alive in the last decade were probably limited in what they could recall correctly since they were quite young during the war years. Juni argues that the only reliable Holocaust data are those collected during the war by government agencies – especially those by the actual perpetrators, while also lending credence to hard data collected by individual researchers and organizations active during the Holocaust. R. Kivelevitz suggests that the testimony of survivors who were hidden, and therefore subjected to less traumatic experiences than those interred, may be more accurate than those who were in camps.
Prof. Juni takes a very skeptical position about the testimonies concerning righteous gentiles, by questioning the accuracy of such categorizations. He argues that many of these “righteous” gentiles we hardly motivated by true positive values. Juni also believes that the celebration of the humane acts of these individuals threatens to obfuscate the reality that most of the European gentile populace gladly participated in informing on hidden Jews and ensured their horrible plight. Reacting to this broad negative brushstroke which paints humanity so negatively, R. Kivelevitz exception to Juni’s position, arguing that the callous behavior of some represents an aberration of the basic prosocial nature of human beings rather than defining the nature of people across the board.
Juni elaborates the crucial relevance of survivor guilt to the experience of holocaust survivors. Victims usually felt complicit when they survive traumatic events. Excepting the minority of incidents of actual collaboration, this guilt is often anchored in beliefs among victims who attempted to ingratiate themselves with their tormentors and tried to evoke their sympathy instead of standing up in defiance and pride regardless of the consequences. In this vein, Juni explains that survival guilt distortion of memories as a defensive adaptation which helps victims avoid their self-accusatory inner demons.
Prof. Juni is one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today. He has published ground-breaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.
He studied in Yeshivas Chaim Berlin under Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as a Talmid of Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick. Dr. Juni is a board member of the Association of Orthodox Jewish Scientists and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences. Associated with NYU since 1979, Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in cutting-edge research. Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded on psychometric methodology and based on a psychodynamic psychopathology perspective. He is arguably the preeminent expert in Differential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studies entailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations.

Standing in Two Worlds-Episode 54-Bundle of Nerves-The Effects of Weather and Climate on Mental Health
Three weather and climate factors which are often correlated to emotional difficulties are outlined by Prof. Juni, as he elaborates the diagnostic category of Seasonal Affective Disorders. The most prominent factor relates to diminished exposure to natural light, specifically as it sometimes engenders anomalies in the circadian rhythm. The primary psychiatric fallout from disturbance in circadian rhythm is clinical depression. In the forensic literature, extreme temperatures have also been documented to reduce personal and emotional resilience – especially under stress conditions. The latter is mostly manifest in the increase of violent crimes during hot heather in urban centers. The third determinant of weather/climate related emotional disorders is more indirect, as inclement weather decreases the amount of time that people spend outside the house – and this could lead to feelings of isolation which can exacerbate extant emotional difficulties in individuals who need a significant level of interpersonal contact for them to function adaptively. However, R. Kivelevitz points out correctly that interpersonal isolation may also be a welcome relief for individuals who suffer from social anxiety. The Rabbi also points out that the third isolation factor was induced globally by the Covid pandemic. Dr. Juni confirms that he has noticed a rise in isolation-related psychiatric episodes among patients in the last two years.
Prof. Juni steered the discussion to the negative associations people often have to weather extremes. Freezing cold or hot weather can be viewed rationally as threatening and even dangerous by people for practical reasons (e.g., hypothermia, heat exhaustion, frostbite, dehydration). R. Kivelevitz speculates that the significant migration of folks to areas of warm weather may relate to the [perceived psychological threat from weather extremes. Referring to his move to Israel, Juni adds that there is an additional sense of security where weather is consistent within seasons, so there are few unknowns about unexpected rain or sudden changes.
The dark of night often is associated with isolation and the unavailability of outside help. Juni points out that there are also irrational associations with more personalized threats which harken back to frightening associations of childhood which are symbolized by an inclement outside environment. More insidious along this vein, Juni argues that the “dead of night” often resonates with a fear which is common in primitive cultures and is ever present in early childhood. Nighttime was traditionally the time when actual danger of robbers and highwaymen loomed everywhere. But there is also a theme is of the unnatural, macabre, and unknown/unspeakable. The winter season, with its longer nights, evokes these deep-seated associations and terror, and it is not surprising, psychiatric symptoms are therefore exacerbated.
As a counterpoint, R. Kivelevitz presents the Talmudic perspective of seeing the long nights as a gift to humanity to allow undistracted study time. Juni opines that such a stance may well be counter-phobic, evoking the danger-tinged enjoyment of a cozy fire while the “weather outside is frightful” and some may courageously proclaim, “Let is snow.”

Standing in Two Worlds-Episode 53-Plumbing the Psychoses of School Shooters ,Political Assassins ,Suicide Bombers. and Serial Killers
The social and psychological determinants of apparently senseless killings are analyzed. The basic attributions to the availability of guns, violence in the media, and radical ideology are critically evaluated. Prof. Juni argues against the grouping of lone mass shooters (who have keen psychiatric disturbances related to their own traumatic histories) with religious terrorists (who do not necessarily manifest clear personal disorders). Prevention strategies and education of gatekeepers are debated. Dr. Juni points out that many of these individuals suffer from atrocious parenting histories, suggesting that secondary prevention efforts might be more effective in counseling individuals before they become parents – and perhaps guiding many of them to eschew raising children altogether.
Prof. Juni is one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today. He has published ground-breaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.

Standing in Two Worlds with Doctor Sam Juni-Episode 52-Putting Yosef and Pharoh on the Couch- Freudian Dream Analysis applied to Genesis
This episode is strikingly different than others in the series in that it represents an effort to understand the perspective of a scriptural narrative known to traditional Jews from their childhood by a system inimical to Jewish thought and tradition. It is stressed that this perspective is not representative of the view of IDT, of The Yeshiva of Newark, or of Dr. Juni. Designed to present solely the Freudian perspective, it does not inform the “Standing between Two Worlds” motif of the series. Nonetheless, this episode highlights the challenge faced by Traditional Jewish Scientists who have allegiance to a system which – if accepted in totality – is antithetical to their very own religious weltanschauung. Hence, the role-play format of this episode, in contrast to the standard interview/discussion of the series. With Rabbi Kivelevitz taking the fantasied role of Joseph, the two butlers, and Pharaoh, respectively, Prof. Juni (in the role of a Freudian analyst who stands solidly in one world only) finds themes of familial, self-referenced, and interpersonal conflicts which might shed light on the source of the dream content. Prof. Juni stresses that such themes are part and parcel of the unconscious life of every single child, and their derivative content is commonly found in all dreams and fantasies, but that they only find expression in actual behavior among disturbed individuals. The challenge for religious traditionalists, as Juni sees it, is to determine which aspects of such a position can be accepted as unconscious motifs without undermining our shared belief in the sublime prophetic nature of prophetic personalities and biblical narrative.
Doctor Samuel Juni is one of the foremost researchpsychologists in the world today. He has published groundbreaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on histheories and observations.
Samuel Juni studied in Yeshivas Chaim Berlin under Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as a Talmid of Rav Joseph DovSoloveitchick.
Professor Juni is a board member of the Association of Orthodox JewishScientists and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences.Associated with NYU since 1979, Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in cutting-edge research.Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic,and religious spectrum is founded on psychometric methodology and based on apsycho-dynamic psychopathology perspective. He is arguably the preeminent expert in Differential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studies entailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection fromnormative and clinical populations.
Professor Juni created and directed the NYUGraduate Program in Tel Aviv titled Cross-Cultural Group Dynamics in StressfulEnvironments. Based in Yerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic andmental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in theArab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors.

Standing in two Worlds with Doctor Sam Juni-Episode 51-Unspeakable acts and Unspoken Collateral Damage-The Psychological Fallout from the Walder Case
Reacting to the increased incidence of molestation scandals, the discussants focus on the fate of his/her family and community who inevitably become salient targets of negative repercussions. While the backlash against the host community and stigmatization of the family is not intrinsically justifiable, Dr. Juni notes that those close to abusers often are aware of travesties long before they become public – and therefore are not blameless. Juni delineates the scope of issues engendered by the exposure of the molester. Community and religious leadership is often viewed as complicit if they rally to the molester’s defense or reflexively cite the “presumption of innocence” mantra. Rabbi Kivelevitz shared reactions of some of his constituents and mentees who despaired and were prompted to abandon religious life when they viewed the reaction to abuse as deficient and inappropriate. These ramifications are explored by the discussants and seen as systematic and intractable. A separate analysis is directed to the poignant dilemma of the abuser’s family members insofar as their personal relationships with the perpetrator are affected. Juni highlights particularly molesters who also apparently manifest positive and leadership functions in society (e.g., Rabbi, author, teacher, medical professional), arguing that there are two prominent types. The more egregious is the veritable psychopaths who pursue their positive social/religious function merely as a subterfuge – and often as a nefarious effort -- designed solely to gain access to potential victims. Juni opines that such individuals, in fact, have very shallow interest in anything other than their perversions. Indeed, such individuals can be said to have minimal emotional investment or positive feeling toward their own family members. On the other hand, there is the molester who truly strives toward (and achieves) positive relationships and prosocial goals in his/her career and daily life, albeit with the significant caveat of lapses in values and behavior. In the latter case, it is reasonable for family members to maintain their (qualified) personal regard toward the perpetrator, provided they do not whitewash the egregious nature of their loved one’s pathology and the harm caused. As incongruous as it may seem, it is feasible to recognize and appreciate positive achievements and the abuser’s contributions even while condemning the problematic lapses. Juni argues, further, that there is little justification to “cancel” positive contribution or creations of such individuals to their profession, their community, and society. Recognizing such individuals as manifesting positive and productive aspects along with the harm they caused is the realistic approach as Juni sees it.

Standing in Two Worlds with Doctor Sam Juni-Episode 50-Jingling the Chanukah Guilt-Comfort Food & Self-Calming Habits: Are They Really Bad for You?
With the Channukah season replete with latkes and chocolates on the horizon, Rabbi Kivelevitz focuses on the snacking response to overcome unpleasantries. He questions if there is an implicit maladjustment in such behavior. Responding with an emphatic “No,” Doctor Juni elaborates the warning signals of excess and pathology of behaviors which are typically in the normal realm. Referencing Psychosexual Developmental Theory, Juni explores the common go-to repertoires which we all use in stressful situations. Highlighting illustrative examples of unusual coping strategies, Kivelevitz proposes that problematic parenting styles may promote psychopathology in interpersonal relationships, anxiety management, and self-concept among teens and young adults. As Kivelevitz suggests that these pathologies, respectively, may be attributed directly to undue parental strictness and exaggerations, Juni points out that excessive indulgencies in early childhood (e.g. around feeding and toilet training -- – and more so in the area of sexuality) often yield negative development repercussions which are just as damaging as those of over-control.

Standing in Two Worlds Productions Presents : Point Blank Alec Baldwin!-Featuring Sam Juni as the Psychologist and Avraham Kivelevitz as the Rabbi
PTSD reactions by those who kill others, albeit inadvertently, are as debilitating as post-traumatic symptoms which befall victims of extreme trauma. Professor Juni analyses the very basic psychological and developmental origins of guilt and discomfort which non-psychopaths inevitably experience when they feel responsible for the death of another person. Rabbi KIvelelevitz expands the discussion into the existential and theological domains. Special attention is focused on Natural Developmental Morality Theory formulated by Dr. Lawrence Goldberg, particularly in elucidating the illogical stance of atheist secular humanists who are, nonetheless, staunch proponents of morality and human rights. Countering Juni’s stance that guilt engendered by taking the taking of a life is essentially non-ameliorable, Kivelevitz cites religious dicta, Biblical rituals, and narratives which are designed precisely to assuage the guilt of such individuals when they are inadvertently responsible for accidental deaths.
Doctor Samuel Juni is one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today. He has published groundbreaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations. Samuel Juni studied in Yeshivas Chaim Berlin under Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as a Talmid of Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick. Professor Juni is a board member of the Association of Orthodox Jewish Scientists and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences. Associated with NYU since 1979, Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in cutting-edge research. Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded on psychometric methodology and based on a psycho-dynamic psychopathology perspective. He is arguably the preeminent expert in Differential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studies entailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations. Professor Juni created and directed the NYU Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titled Cross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments. Based in Yerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors. Below is a partial list of the journals to which Professor Juni has contributed over 120 articles; many are available online: Journal of Forensic Psychology; Journal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma; International Review of Victimology; The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease; International Forum of Psychoanalysis; Journal of Personality Assessment; J
Journal of Abnormal Psychology; Journal of Psychoanalytic Anthropology; Psychophysiology; Psychology and Human Development; Journal of Sex Research; Journal of Psychology and Judaism; Contemporary Family Therapy; American Journal on Addictions; Journal of Criminal Psychology; Mental Health, Religion, and Culture.
As Rosh Beis Medrash, Rabbi Avraham Kivelevitz serves as Rav and Posek for the morning minyan at IDT. Hundreds of listeners around the globe look forward to his weekly Shiur in Tshuvos and Poskim. Rav Kivelevitz is a Maggid Shiur for Dirshu International in Talmud and Halacha as well as a Dayan with the Beth Din of America.

Standing in Two Worlds with Doctor Sam Juni-Episode 48-Members of Curious Yoel-Behind the Outrage of Teen Marriages-Special Guest Rav Nosson Nota Glick
The causes of the recent organized efforts promoting teen marriages in the Chassidic community are analyzed from different perspectives, Prof. Juni juxtaposes these arrangements to those in specific Islamic countries and cults, arguing that many of the travesties in arranged marriages of minors are to be found in Shidduch matches of young adults as well. Developmental, religious, and cultural features on intimate relationships, marriage, and sexuality are charted out by the discussants. Rabbi Glueck presents the Kabbalistic and Chassidic perspective on marriage and sexuality, while Rabbi Kivelevitz partials out the Halakhic factors from the mix. Based on his consults with Chassidic patients and religious gatekeepers, Dr. Juni shares revealing rationales which drive overall suppression of sexuality in these communities. He argues that they are antithetical to the mental health and relationship capacity potential of youth who are raised within this system and forced to live within such constraints. Glueck elaborates the classic non-draconian Breslov orientation toward sexuality, as he shows how it has been misrepresented by fringe groups. Possible ameliorative efforts to possible deleterious dynamics are explored by Glueck and Kivelevitz.
Doctor Samuel Juni is one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today. He has published groundbreaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.

Standing in Two Worlds with Doctor Sam Juni-Episode 47-Beneficial Diminution-Vacation from work and relationships
Rabbi Kivelevitz begins by outlining cultural differences between the United States, Europe, and Israel regarding vacation policies for workers, maternity leave, and the afternoon siesta. The question is whether vacations and breaks are good for people and for the jobs they perform. Doctor Juni sees this question as dependent on how we see the role of work. He presents the prevalent tenets of Vocational Psychology, as formulated by Donald Super, which posits that work is an intrinsic aspect of human existence and self-esteem. This view is seen as consistent with descriptions in various cultures and settings, we are useless work is considered torturous. However, Juni summarized empirical studies indicating that although the physical health of workers is enhanced by vacations, positive psychological effects are fleeting in nature. Thus, if work is intrinsic to human functioning, then a break might be considered as negative, while a break is definitely positive if work is considered merely as a burden or a necessary evil – since it allows folks to engage on more important and “real” life experiences.
Kivelevitz expands the discussion from work to relationships, where he poses the question whether breaks from relationships might be helpful to the relationships. Juni points out that even within couples who get along well, there is usually no more than 20% compatibility across various interests and commitments. Indeed, it is the very differences between partners that enrich the enjoyment of marital relationship. It is a fact that there is more to any person than spousal joint life. Having an “island” where one can relate to issues that are not shared with a partner may thus provide a safety valve while enabling the experience of a fuller spectrum of life.
The discussants veer into the scandalous suggestions by some modern pundits who champion extra-marital relationships as a means of strengthening marriages. Juni opines that while such affairs may result in increased longevity of marriages (since there are built-in options for straying and fulfilling fantasied alternatives), the quality of the marital relationship definitely deteriorates as a result, especially in view of inevitable feelings of betrayal and profound guilt. Kivelevitz points out that a number of psychologists see much of the finer aspects human endeavors as being due to the very containment of maladaptive fantasies or “acting out” – motivations which are then sublimated toward goals which enrich individuals as well as general society.
Doctor Samuel Juni is one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today. He has published groundbreaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals, and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations. Samuel Juni studied in Yeshivas Chaim Berlin under Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as a Talmid of Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick. Professor Juni is a prominent member of the Association of Orthodox Jewish Scientists, and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences. Associated with NYU since 1979, Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in important research. Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded on psychometric methodology and based on a psycho-dynamic psychopathology perspective. He is arguably the preeminent expert in Differential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studies entailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations. Professor Juni created and directed NYU's Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titled Cross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments. Based in Yerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors.

Standing in Two Worlds with Doctor Sam Juni-Episode 46-Concentrated Effort-The Struggle to Stay Focused over the Long Yom Kippur Service
Rabbi Kivelevitz and Professor Juni analyze and critique a number of factors which lead many of us to become distracted during prayers. Dr. Juni explains that each person has physiologically optimal position on the dimension of input stimulation for perceptual and cognitive processing. This dimension ranges from some who need relative quiet to concentrate to those who can ONLY concentrate in the presence of significant additional sensory input (e.g. spinners, noise, swaying, swaying, music). Many with ADD fall into the latter half of this dimension. Every person has his own level of stimulation he or she needs to function. Shul, especially during the holidays, may not fir the bill. It may be too huge of a space, too crowded, too quiet, too loud, too eerie, too strange (especially when mouthing strange sentences in a not-so-familiar language). Small wonder that many become distracted. to some degree but not excessive for each person.
Psychodynamically, however, Juni points out that boredom is a cover-up word for defensive avoidal of thoughts and fears that we usually sweep under the rug. High Holiday prayers, in particular, arouse issues of our mortality, personal weakness, our role as helpless victims. More insidiously, it forces some to face their doubts in the area of faith in G-d and commitment to religion, and – in some – resentment toward G-d. Triggering the pseudo-mode of “boredom” give us the excuse to escape this crucible.
Kivelevitz points out that there is a paradoxical aspect to the confessional of the High Holidays which are often rendered in a song which sounds almost triumphant and happy. He references Rabbinic authorities who address the fact that some mis-guided folks are actually paradoxically proud as they confess in bursts of unjustified hubris regarding their apparent piety. These commentators urge congregations not to dwell on the past and essentially speed through the confessional at what they considered a healthy pace. The problem, as they see it, is that when we have a list of sins that we recite pro forma, we tend not to realize that there are major dimensions and divisions among these sins instead of seeing them as one menu of equal transgressions.

Standing in Two Worlds with Doctor Sam Juni-Episode 45- Rosh HaShana Mindset-No excuses on Judgement Day-Why we continue to act in ways that we know will have negative repercussions
This episode begins with Doctor Juni outlining his work withpsychiatric criminal populations and his efforts exploring their personal perspective about theirbehavior.
By in large ,most of these people realized that they were acting in a harmfulmanner that would yield negative consequences. Juni relates this to actions and decisions of world leaders,including the last two US presidents.
To properly grasp why this phenomena persists ,Dr. Junipoints to two ingrained dynamics which originate in early child developmentduring a period where the child has little understanding of reality testing.The first is a tendency to feel omnipotent and being convinced that one isunable to do wrong. The second, in contrast, is a mode of self-flagellationwhich entails a conviction that one is “bad”– –a perspective which engenders aself a sense of futility and helplessness. Juni stresses that the latter isalways accompanied by a conviction that one “deserves” punishment, and thatthis holds true even in adults who are overtly atheist or do not subscribe toany particular system of right and wrong. The doctor stresses that it isimportant here to understand that the ego administers a number of ambivalentmotives which are contradictory to each other
Taking a more behavioral stance, Rabbi Kivelevitz suggeststhat people may be motivated by the “comfortable old shoe“ phenomenon wherethey revert to behavior they are used to simply because they are familiar withit -- even if they know it is harmful.
When pushed to formulate a strategy of what someone can doto counter such nonfunctional behavior patterns. Juni suggests that by simplyunderstanding that one has a number of beneficial and harmful contradictory dynamicswhich exist side-by-side -- – – that alone can give some people some masteryover unacceptable impulses.
Kivelevitz presents a prospective espoused by my Maimonideswhich is consistent with Aristotelian philosophy, Franz Rosenzweig’s approachto personality, and the teachings of Rabbi Eliyahu Dessler. The approachentails being aware of harmful instincts and coming up with strategies tooppose them consciously.
Dr. Juni ventures to present his own personal perspective(not at all related to his professional perspective) that there is a specificmoral component (as posited by Kohlberg) which may well include inborntendencies towards good and evil ,possibly along the lines of Yetzer Tov andYetzer Harah (good and evil inclinations). Juni stresses that despite hisabsolute conviction about the truth of traditional Psychoanalytic Gospel ofunconscious repressed formative dynamics as the major determinants of adultbehavior, one need not rule out inborn moral components. Expanding on this ideain light of the approaching high holidays, Kivelevitz elaborates theunderstanding of the transcendental aspect of the soul which, according toJewish tradition, is accessible by human beings who seek to better themselves.
Doctor Samuel Juni is one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today. He has published groundbreaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals, and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.

Rischa D'Araisa-Season 3-Episode 21-How Batei Din for Gittin continue to offend and pain Geirim-Rabbi Aryeh Klapper presents his case
Rabbi Klapper the founder of Modern Torah Leadership ,joins Rabbis Bechoffer and Kivelevitz to discuss his campaign to correct what he sees a s a gross injustice.
He has submitted a draft of his essay for all Rischa listeners
The Torah prohibits causing psychological distress to converts (ona’at hager). Most American dayyanim recognize the incredible ona’at hager that results from making converts repeatedly “prove” their Jewishness. Yet American batei din maintain a divorce policy that puts many valid converts and their descendants at risk of just such an ordeal. Here’s how.
American batei din conventionally distinguish two classes of converts when they write a get (halakhic bill of divorce). Converts who are halakhically observant at the time of divorce are identified as “ben/bat Avraham Avinu”. Those who aren’t halakhically observant at the time of divorce are identified as “HaGer/HaGiyoret”, with no father’s name.
This is intrinsically problematic – there is no reason for batei din to judge the observance level of anyone appearing before them for divorce, and batei din generally claim never to do so. But the worst part is that Israeli batei din take the absence of “ben/bat Avraham Avinu” in a convert’s get as a basis for challenging the validity of the conversion. Let me explain how this happened.
In traditional Jewish thought, “the convert” is a badge of honor, as in Maimonides’ famous letter to Rabbi Ovadiah the Convert. But in the early 19th century, Rabbi Yaakov of Lissa (Toras Gittin 129:11) creatively argued that it would sully the honor of Avraham Avinu to be identified as the father of an apostate convert. Toras Gittin suggested that such converts should instead be identified by their non-Jewish name and the name of their biological father.
The 1868 work Chayyei Aryeh (39) pointed out that using pre-conversion names and pre-conversion fathers raised all sorts of halakhic difficulties. He concludes that respect for Rabbi Yaakov prevents him from dismissing the ruling, but that it would be better to use “Hager/HaGiyoret” as the alternative.
Despite Chayyei Aryeh’s grudging acquiescence, it’s not clear whether Toras Gittin’s position had much influence on practice before the mid-20th century. We can say confidently that his position contradicts the still-standard 17th century halakhic work on documents Nachalat Shiv’ah (Mahadura Basra 31:4, inserted as note in Mahadura Kamma 41:23:4; see also the summary in Pachad Yitzchak (Lampronti) p.134), and that most books on gittin published after Toras Gittin, for example Arukh HaShulchan, gave a standard rule for converts without mentioning that apostate converts were an exception (even though apostate coverts were often brought up in two other halakhic contexts, writing sifrei Torah and wine). The still-standard late-19th century gittin manual Kav Naki (Seder Haget Rishon VeSheni 21 Note 7) cites Pitchei Teshuvah as citing a position of Toras Gittin about the case, without saying what the position is. (I have not found a relevant Pitchei Teshuvah.) Rav Gedaliah Felder’s mid-20th century Nachalat Tzvi cites Toras Gittin’s position as “there are those who say”, with a note that it applies only lekhatchilah.
However, a practice based on Chayyei Aryeh’s friendly amendment of Toras Gittin was practiced in the Tel Aviv beit din soon after 1948. We know of this practice from two sources.
The first source emerges from Chief Rabbi Shlomo Goren’s ruling in the famous “Langer case”. Rav Goren ruled that a brother and sister were not mamzerim even though their mother’s get from her first husband was dated after their birth, because that husband had not converted validly, if at all. An anonymous Israeli dayyan’s letter supporting this ruling was published as Appendix 3 of his Pesak Din HaAch v’Ha’Achot. (The houses of dayyanim identified as supporting the ruling were reportedly firebombed, hence the anonymity. The letter seems to identify its author as a member of the Tel Aviv-Yaffa regional beit din). One argument in that letter provides the information relevant to us:
[1]The get (from the mother’s first husband) is written “Avraham HaGer”, not “Avraham ben Avraham Avinu” as is customary to write on every get for a convert, as is made clear in Shulchan Arukh Even haEzer 129.
The rationale for this must be that at the time the get was arranged in beit din, (the first husband) had an established record as not being observant of the tradition, and, it seems, that he had the reputation of a ‘mumar/turncoat to avodah zarah’. A get like this - we do not connect the person genealogically with Avraham Avinu, as is explained in Toras Gittin 129:11, “because (Avraham) certainly did not identify his name with such a congregation (of apostate converts), and we do not connect his genealogy back to Avraham Avinu ob”m”. Pitchei Teshuvah Seder Gittin note 21 also follows Toras Gittin (ADK: I have not found this in Pitchei Teshuvah; see my note above re Kav Naki),
and that is our practice today in the beit din for divorce in the region of Tel Aviv/Yaffa,
and that was the practice of the Av Beit Din for Gittin of that time, Rabbi Yosef Halevi zt”l, who officiated that get for Avraham Borkowsky (the first husband) in the year 5711.
The letter cites Rabbi Halevi’s practice in order to corroborate testimony that Mr. Borkovsky had remained a Christian throughout his life. This works if Rabbi HaLevi wrote “haGer” rather than “ben Avraham Avinu” only for converts who were ‘turncoats to avodah zarah’, and not for the merely nonobservant. The argument is greatly weakened by the implicit concession that Rabbi haLevi would do the same for ‘public Shabbat desecrators’. The anonymous dayyan presumably assumed that for technical reasons the latter status applies only to a small subset of the nonobservant.
In a supplement to the original letter (also published in Appendix 3 of Pesak Din HaAch v’Ha’Achot), the anonymous dayyan strongly critiques a practice that he presents as developing after Rabbi HaLevi’s time:
[2]Those dayyanim who relate frivolously to all matters relating to the validity of a get, and seek out the bediavad in order to do it lekhatchilah, and have begun to write in the get of a convert only “X Hager”, when according to the opinion of the poskim this hints that the divorcing man is not fit to be connected genealogically to Avraham Avinu ob”m because he desecrates Shabbat publicly, or worse, that he has likely returned to his previous religion –
they are violating the longstanding practice of Israel,
and in my opinion, they are transgressing many DON”Ts in the Torah that caution us regarding ona’at hager,
because I have shown above with clear-cut proofs that lekhatchilah one must write either “ben Avraham Avinu” or else “X haGer ben Avraham”,
but if it happens that a convert who comes to divorce is a public Shabbat desecrator, and thereby becomes a ‘turncoat to the entire Torah’ as is made clear in the Talmud and poskim,
and all the more so if Heaven forfend he returns to his original religion -
then certainly one is obligated to omit the name of Avraham Avinu in his get.
According to this, if one finds a get written for a convert that was written by a gittin expert in the era preceding ours, and in the get is written only “X haGer” –
then there is great reason to consider that at the time of writing they categorized this convert as having the grave status of a public Shabbat desecrator or that he had returned to his prior religion, rather than attributing the omission of Avraham Avinu’s name to incompetence.
In other words, by 1972 some Israeli dayyanim wrote “X haGer” rather than ben Avraham Avinu even when the convert was merely an ordinary sinner.
An abridgement of the anonymous dayyan’s letter was apparently published in a New York daily newspaper. This version made no mention of Rabbi Halevi’s practice. Rabbi Ephraim Eliezer Yulis (Divrei Efraim Eliezer EH 219), Av Beit Din of Philadelphia, responded by expressing astonishment that an important dayyan would make so weak an argument. He pointed out that decisors throughout the ages had made clear that “HaGer” and “ben Avraham Avinu” were both valid for all converts, so what evidence could be brought from the use of “HaGer”?! Rabbi Yulis clearly did not believe that standard beit din practice followed Toras Gittin. It therefore seems likely that this practice was not widespread in American batei din.
Rabbi Yulis had a second criticism. The validity of a conversion is not affected by a convert’s subsequent apostasy. Therefore, how could evidence of apostasy at the time of the get, many years after the alleged conversion, prove anything about the father’s Jewishness?!
As noted above, the full version of the letter shows that the dayyan supporting Rav Goren actually used the language of the get only to support testimony that the father had never renounced Christianity at all. He did not use the language of the get as evidence that the beit din had questioned the validity of the conversion.
Rabbi Halevi’s practice is cited with at least one important extension in a 5752 decision (published in Shurat HaDin vol. 4 p. 245) by Dayyan Yosef Goldberg (a member of the Tel Aviv beit din).
The case was as follows: A woman was denied permission to marry because her maternal grandmother’s 5728 Tel Aviv beit din divorce file stated that she could not remarry until her conversion was validated. All other records of the beit din’s deliberations had been destroyed. The get itself identified the grandmother as “bat Avraham Avinu”.
Rabbi Goldberg reports that Rabbi Halevi wrote “haGer” rather than “ben Avraham Avinu” for apostate converts, and also for converts “who desecrated Shabbat publicly, and thereby became a traitor to the entire Torah”. He then cites Rabbi M. Tziyoni, a dayyan who was a signatory on the grandmother’s get, as follows:
The gaon Rabbi M. Tziyoni shlita said to me that the custom in their beit din was:
we ask the convert whether he is shomer Torah umitzvot,
and if he says that he was shomer Torah umitzvot – we write “ben Avraham Avinu”,
and if he said that he is not shomer Torah umitzvot – we write only “X HaGer”
Rabbi Goldberg contends that because the grandmother’s get identified her as “bat/ben Avraham Avinu”, she must have claimed to the beit din that she was at least somewhat Shabbat-observant. He then makes a technical argument that the grandmother’s claim is a valid basis for affirming the granddaughter’s Jewishness, even if it cannot be verified, and even though the officiating beit din had left the grandmother’s own status in doubt.
The practice reported by Rabbi Tziyoni represents a significant expansion of Rabbi haLevi’s practice, and corresponds to the practice criticized by the anonymous dayyan. It also shows that the beit din’s decisions were not based on any serious investigation. Rabbi Goldberg in fact never suggests that the language of the get proves anything about the grandmother’s actual practice; rather, he uses it to show what the grandmother must have told the beit din about her practice.
The anonymous dayyan and Rabbi Goldberg each used an argument from get-language in support of ruling that the parties in front of them were eligible to marry. However, Rabbi Shimon Yakobi, legal adviser to the Israeli beit din system, used a radical extension of this argument for an opposite end in his 2010 book ביטול גיור עקב חוסר כנות בקבלת המצוות (Nullification of Conversion Owing to Lack of Sincerity When Accepting the Mitzvot).
Rabbi Yakobi asserts that the standard practice of Israeli batei din by 2010, as evidenced by several get manuals, was to write “ben Avraham Avinu” for converts who were shomrei mitzvot (observant of the commandments), and “haGer” for converts who are not. He then contends that beit din records show that the vast majority of Israeli gittin written for converts post-1996 (when batei din began keeping computerized records) used “haGer” rather than “ben/bat Avraham Avinu”. Finally, he uses these statistics to support a decision by Rabbi Avraham Sherman of the Beit Din HaGadol that had retroactively declared thousands of Rabbinate-authorized conversions presumptively invalid. (Rabbi Sherman’s own grounds for his decision are beyond the scope of this article. Regardless, his decision served notice that he and his supporters would not refrain from challenging Orthodox conversions even many years later. In other words, it put all converts in permanent fear of challenges to their own or their descendants’ Jewishness. I can attest that it had this effect based on contemporary phone calls to the Boston Beit Din and many conversations in subsequent years. Sometimes the ends justify the means; but it would take ultimately important ends to justify such an enormous violation of ona’at hager.)
Rabbi Yisroel Rosen reports that Rabbi Yakobi’s statistics were disputed by Rabbi David Bass and Rabbi Mordekhai Brully (ואוהב גר, p. 217). They noted, for example, that according to his chart, the Beersheva beit din had not written any divorces for converts at all! The solution was that the Beersheva beit din wrote ben Avraham for all converts – in other words, that practice in Israeli batei din had not in fact standardized.
Moreover, Rabbi Yakobi’s argument treats later non-observance as halakhic evidence that the original conversion was insincere. As Rabbi Yulis noted, there is no necessary connection between these phenomena.
Finally, Rabbi Yakobi’s argument treats a beit din’s decision about the get as evidence of the convert’s actual level of observance. We saw above that according to Rabbi Tziyyoni, his beit din simply accepted the convert’s self-report. Rabbi Rosen reports that according to Rabbi Bass and Rabbi Brully, many batei din probably made judgments based solely on converts’ clothing.
But whether or not one regards Rabbi Yakobi’s arguments as sound, the reality is that he treated a get that identified a convert as “X haGer/Giyoret” as a basis for challenging the validity of the conversion. Moreover, he found a dayyan who explicitly stated that the language of a get is intended to reflect such a concern.
In אבני משפט 4:13 (cited by Rabbi Yakobi in ftnt. 328), Rabbi Mordekhai Ralbag records the following rule, which he presents as based on the practice of Rabbi Shlomo Fisher’s beit din:
“If the divorcing man or women are converts who observe the mitzvot – one should write ben/bat Avraham Avinu.
But if they do not observe mitzvot, and there is a concern that at the time of conversion they did not intend to accept the yoke of the commandments and the conversion is not good and they are Gentiles – one must hint at this in the get, and therefore one should write only their names and conclude with “the convert”.
This rule makes the language of a get a clear basis for challenging the validity of a conversion. Rabbi Ralbag does not present this as an innovation, but rather as established law; in other words, he regards a get that is written “HaGer” to be evidence that the beit din saw reason to question the validity of the conversion. Rabbi Ralbag was appointed by his brother in-law, Chief Rabbi Dovid Lau, to head the beit din system in Yerushalayim (the appointment is on hold because the Attorney General has charged that the process was nepotistic, but Rabbi Ralbag is certainly an intellectually impressive and influential dayyan).
At some recent point, American batei din changed their practice to the one criticized by the anonymous dayyan; that is to say, they began writing “haGer” for converts who were not fully observant. Their intent was probably to match the official standard in Israel (although we saw above that Israeli beit din practice never actually standardized.) In my experience, decisions as to how to identify converts in American gittin are made in the casual manner Rabbi Tziyoni reported, by asking the convert (or sometimes the spouse of the convert) whether he or she is observant at the time. (Most likely some batei din decide based on clothing or appearance.)
Converts are not told why the question is being asked. They are not told that an honest answer may lead the Israeli Rabbinate to treat their divorce documents as evidence against the validity of their conversions.
In many cases, the beit din itself may not realize this. But it is nonetheless true, for two reasons. First, some prominent Israeli dayanim regard later nonobservance as probative halakhic evidence that the initial conversion was insincere. (For a while, Rabbi Leib Tropper’s Eternal Jewish Family used bribery and intimidation to spread this position in the United States. The exposure of some of his many scandals has discredited it for now, but that may not be permanent.) Second, some prominent Israeli dayanim assume that the language of the get reflects genuine concern about the validity of the conversion.
The Israeli nonprofit ITIM, headed by Rabbi Seth Farber, has repeatedly sued the Rabbinate to prevent them from using the divorce process as an occasion to reopen question of Jewish status. Doing so is now illegal, but it remains unclear whether the practice has ceased. Regardless, there is no bar to the Rabbinate using the divorce documents of converts as evidence in an initial inquiry into Jewish status, such as when converts from abroad apply for Aliyah.
In other words, distinguishing between “haGer” and “ben/bat Avraham Avinu” in gittin puts converts in permanent danger of challenges to their own or their descendants’ Jewishness.
American batei din have a moral obligation to return to the simple halakhah, which requires no such distinctions in the get. We should regardless not be asking anyone about their religious practice when they come for divorce, , all the more so converts, all the more so without being transparent about the stakes. Asking such questions raises anxieties in every convert about every imperfection in their halakhic practice and violates ona’at hager. We certainly must not continue a practice that raises unfounded doubts about many legitimate conversions, aids and abets those who seek to invalidate conversions we regard as perfectly legitimate, and makes many converts and their descendants permanently insecure.
[1] בגט כתוב 'אברהם הגר', לא 'אברהם בן אברהם אבינו' כנהוג לכתוב בכל גט של גר, כמבואר באהע'ז סימן קכ'ט. הנימוק הוא, משום שבשעת עריכת הגט בביה'ד הוא היה מוחזק כבלתי שומר מסורת, וכנראה, שהוא היה מוחזק למומר לע'ז, ובגט כזה אין אנו מיחסים אותו אחרי אברהם אבינו, כמבואר בספר תורת גיטין בסימן קכ'ט אות י'א: 'דבקהל כזה בודאי לא ייחד כבודו ואין מייחסים אחר אברהם אבינו ע'ה'.
וכן איתא ב''פתחי תשובה' בסדר גיטין אות כ'א כהתו'ג,
וכן אנו נוהגין כיום בביה'ד לגיטין במתא ת'א-יפו,
וכך היה נוהג האב'ד לגיטין באותה תקופה הרב ר' יוסף הלוי זצ''ל, שסידר גט זה לאברהם בורקובסקי בשנת תשי'א.
[2] אלו הדיינים המתיחסים לכל דבר הנוגע לכשרות הגט בקלות הדעת, ומחפשים את הבדיעבד לעשותו לכתחילה,
והתחילו לנהוג לכתוב בגט של גר רק 'פלוגי הגר', ולפי דעת הפוסקים מרמז זה שהמגרש איננו ראוי להתיחס לאברהם אבינו ע'ה משום שהוא מחלל שבתות בפרהסיא או יותר גרוע מזה יתכן שחזר לסורו –
הם עוברים על מנהג ישראל מקדמת דנא,
ולדעתי, עוברים הם על הרבה לאווין בתורה שהוזהרנו על אונאת הגר,
כי בארנו עד כה בראיות חותכות שלכתחילה חייבים להזכיר את שם אברהם אבינו או לכתוב 'פלוני הגר בן אברהם' כנ'ל,
אלא אם קורה שהגר הבא להתגרש הוא מחלל שבתות בפרהסיא, וע'י זה נעשה מומר לכל התורה כולה כמבואר בש'ס ופוסקים, וכל שכן אם חס ושלום חזר לסורו - אז בודאי חייבים להשמיט את שמו של אברהם אבינו בגט שלו.
ולפי זה, אם מוצאים גט של גר שנכתב על ידי מומחה לגיטין מן התקופה שקדמה מלפנינו, וכתוב בגט רק 'פלוני הגר' –
יש חשש גדול שתפסו את הגר בשעת כתיבת הגט בעבריינות חמורה של מחלל שבתות בפרהסיא או שחזר לסורו, אבל אין לתלות בוקי סרוקי בהשמטת שם אברהם אבינו.

Standing in Two Worlds-Episode 44-Twisted or Enlightened- Definitions of Courage-Has Simone Biles' Withdrawal From Olympic Competition Been a Boon for Mental Health Appreciation?
As sports was the starting point of the conversation, Doctor Juni is spurred to outline the attitude toward sport competition which prevailed within the insular culture of his youth,where the notion of the body as a temple was viewed as a heretical feature of a Hellenic society , the antithesis of scholarship (in general) and Talmudic scholarship (specifically).
Rabbi Kivelevitz remarks that the supportive reaction to Simone Biles bowing out of the Olympic competition is an unusual phenomenon in the world of sports and its pundits. A bending-over-backwards forgiving perspective excusing an idealized icon, a larger-than-life hero, from owning up to our expectations,allowing people to put their mental health ahead of societal goals and prescriptions.
Juni and Kivelevitz explore the implications of this paradigm shift in the attitudes of American society which has been rooted in the Protestant work ethic, especially as it pertains to sports heroes who symbolize the idealized identity of many Americans. The discussants snip at the grey divides between personal irresponsibility, social obligations, personal freedom of action, and dealing valiantly with challenges and hardships, addressing the question whether Western society has gone soft on the pursuit of social and common goals.
Doctor Juni wonders whether this reaction heralds a stance which encourages our youth never to leave their comfort zones. Juni cites a recent report that 25% of the U.S. population is characterized by manifesting physical or psychiatric disabilities. The numbers suggest that the Mental Health red flag is now hoisted beyond debilitating disruptions to include what we in the past regarded as minor discomforts.
Juni alternatively suggests that individuals functionally indentured to serve societal goals represents an inherent violation of human freedom and dignity that builds monstrously on the notion that many goals that average persons are comitted to are not really theirs, merely reflections of what others foisted upon them.
The contextualization of Simone’s history within the multi-year deplorable molestation scandal of Dr. Nassar, the Women’s Olympic Team Physician, is analyzed. Prof. Juni explained that psychological/mental abuse is in fact a systematic feature of military indoctrination, designed to get recruits to block out and suppress any personal concerns as they keep their total attention on the singular goal of following orders. Based on Dr. Nassar’s psychopathic profile, the doctor conjectures that Nassar’s distorted rationalizations for his sexual abuses may have included a supposed effort to get his athletes to undergo psychiatric splitting as a self-protective effort against the abuse traumas which would then dovetail with a suspension of any personal, self-care concerns – all toward the goal of getting these hapless women to become singularly devoted to their Olympic goals. Juni suggests that this approach is poignantly reflected in the popular country song by Shel Silverstein (popularized by Johnny Cash) titled A Boy Named Sue, which recounts the travails of a derelict-absent father who gives his son a feminine name so that he learn to fight and stand up for himself from the very start, which will ensure that he prevail under adversity.
As a corollary to this approach as it may relate to the traditional Talmudic perspective on Child Development and Educational Programming, Kivelevitz posits that the prevalent effort among contemporary Jewish educators to track bright Yeshiva students into intense Talmudic scholarship tracks abrogates their normal psychological development and results often in personal dissonance which dogs them throughout life.
Doctor Samuel Juni is one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today. He has published groundbreaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals, and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations. Samuel Juni studied in Yeshivas Chaim Berlin under Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as a Talmid of Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick. Professor Juni is a prominent member of the Association of Orthodox Jewish Scientists, and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences. Associated with NYU since 1979, Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in important research. Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded on psychometric methodology and based on a psycho-dynamic psychopathology perspective. He is arguably the preeminent expert in Differential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studies entailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations. Professor Juni created and directed NYU's Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titled Cross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments. Based in Yerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors. Below is a partial list of the journals to which Professor Juni has contributed over 120 articles. Many are available on line Journal of Forensic Psychology Journal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma. International Review of Victimology The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease International Forum of Psychoanalysis Journal of Personality Assessment Journal of Abnormal Psychology Journal of Psychoanalytic Anthropology Psychophysiology Psychology and Human Development Journal of Sex Research Journal of Psychology and Judaism Contemporary Family Therapy American Journal on Addictions Journal of Criminal Psychology Mental Health, Religion & Culture As Rosh Beis Medrash, Rabbi Avraham Kivelevitz serves as Rav and Posek for the morning minyan at IDT. Hundreds of listeners around the globe look forward to his weekly Shiur in Tshuvos and Poskim. Rav Kivelevitz is a Maggid Shiur for Dirshu International in Talmud and Halacha as well as a Dayan with the Beth Din of America. Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected]

Standing in Two Worlds with Doctor Sam Juni- Episode 43-Factitious Disorders-Is the meshulach perennially at your door appealing for their child suffering from Munchausen's syndrome by proxy?
As the more colorful of Factitious Disorders, Munchausen’s Disease by Proxy is analyzed as a condition which entails difficulties in reality testing by patients who see themselves as trying to achieve good health by denying their underlying motivations and their harmful behavior, Prof. Juni explains that Munchausen family members also have a severe overidentification problem as they subsume the life of the sick family member into their identity and choose to live out their own emotionality of sickness through the sick experience of their loved ones. Dr. Juni cautions that Factitious Disorders can be a default diagnosis affixed by medical professionals who choose to blame the patient family for syndromes which are clinically inconsistent with pathological profiles. The similarities between such diagnoses and those of malingering (where the patients simply misrepresent themselves as ill in order to achieve secondary gain) are explained. The discussants explore the possibilities that many chronic help seekers may be part of this cohort, as Dr. Juni explains that the underlying character disorder renders these patients resistant to intervention and treatment.
Doctor Samuel Juni is one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today. He has published groundbreaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals, and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations. Samuel Juni studied in Yeshivas Chaim Berlin under Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as a Talmid of Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick. Professor Juni is a prominent member of the Association of Orthodox Jewish Scientists, and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences. Associated with NYU since 1979, Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in important research. Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded on psychometric methodology and based on a psycho-dynamic psychopathology perspective. He is arguably the preeminent expert in Differential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studies entailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations. Professor Juni created and directed NYU's Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titled Cross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments. Based in Yerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors. Below is a partial list of the journals to which Professor Juni has contributed over 120 articles. Many are available on line Journal of Forensic Psychology Journal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma. International Review of Victimology The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease International Forum of Psychoanalysis Journal of Personality Assessment Journal of Abnormal Psychology Journal of Psychoanalytic Anthropology Psychophysiology Psychology and Human Development Journal of Sex Research Journal of Psychology and Judaism Contemporary Family Therapy American Journal on Addictions Journal of Criminal Psychology Mental Health, Religion & Culture As Rosh Beis Medrash, Rabbi Avraham Kivelevitz serves as Rav and Posek for the morning minyan at IDT.

Standing in Two Worlds with Doctor Sam Juni-Episode 42- Spirit of Wiedergutmachung -Why many have difficulty apologizing and asking for absolution-and why others find it impossible to accept and forgive
Prof. Juni argues that apologizing is an elusive social phenomenon. Unless one was not aware of certain facts or consequences, it is likely that they would repeat the offensive behavior under similar circumstances. Thus, apologies typically indicate -- at most – sorrow that the victim suffered, but not regret about the offensive act. Reluctance to apologize is therefore quite truthful. R. Kivelevitz points out that there is a religious component to apology – namely a request that the victim absolve the perpetrator of divine punishment, but this, too, is not an apology per se. The discussants also explore the psychological impediments to apologizing and examine issues of dependency or being at the mercy of the victim. From the perspective of the victim, it is appropriate to view a refusal to accept an apology as a manifestation of retributive power over the aggressor. Here, too, Dr. Juni sees the acceptance of an apology as often entailing disingenuousness, since it would be untruthful for most victims to proclaim that they are no longer hurt by significant offenses – though, from a religious perspective, they can truly agree to exempt a perpetrator from divine retribution. It does seem ,opines the doctor,that the entire social phenomenon of apologizing is rather unelaborated, and represents a perfunctory rather than meaningful social transaction.
Doctor Samuel Juni is one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today. He has published groundbreaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals, and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.

Standing in Two Worlds with Doctor Sam Juni-Episode 41-Resisting Possession-The deep roots of obsessive collecting- hoarding-and holding on to toxic friendships
Prof. Juni begins by clarifying that hoarding and other behavioral anomalies are considered psychiatrically pathological only if they interfere significantly with daily, relational, and vocational functioning. The commonalities of hoarding and addiction are outlined. Not letting go is described by Juni as due to anomalies in early childhood toilet training period. R. Kivelevitz argues that a history of poverty and deprivation may be sufficient to explain the excitement of object acquisition without resorting to arcane psychoanalytic principles. Besides pathological hoarding reactions, Juni argues that the hoarding mentality extends to difficulties dissolving friendships which have run their course and prevents adults from exploring new interpersonal horizons or to reassesses ideological or social commitments. Kivelevitz points out that the Covid isolation period has indeed prompted many to reexamine their relationships and values. Both discussants point to the usurping of true relationships by the proliferation of pseudo-friendships of social media. Using his own professional life as podcaster as a case in point, Kivelevitz explores the fine divide between professional and personal relationships which are subject to reevaluation in terms of meaningfulness and practical considerations.
Doctor Samuel Juni is one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today. He has published groundbreaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals, and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations. Samuel Juni studied in Yeshivas Chaim Berlin under Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as a Talmid of Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick. Professor Juni is a prominent member of the Association of Orthodox Jewish Scientists, and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences. Associated with NYU since 1979, Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in important research. Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded on psychometric methodology and based on a psycho-dynamic psychopathology perspective. He is arguably the preeminent expert in Differential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studies entailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations. Professor Juni created and directed NYU's Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titled Cross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments. Based in Yerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors. Below is a partial list of the journals to which Professor Juni has contributed over 120 articles. Many are available on line Journal of Forensic Psychology Journal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma. International Review of Victimology The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease International Forum of Psychoanalysis Journal of Personality Assessment Journal of Abnormal Psychology Journal of Psychoanalytic Anthropology Psychophysiology Psychology and Human Development Journal of Sex Research Journal of Psychology and Judaism Contemporary Family Therapy American Journal on Addictions Journal of Criminal Psychology Mental Health, Religion & Culture As Rosh Beis Medrash, Rabbi Avraham Kivelevitz serves as Rav and Posek for the morning minyan at IDT.

Rabbi Aryeh Klapper on Behaaloscha-Voice at the Table- Moshe's offer to Yisro -Was it enough to get him to stay?
EQUALITY UNDER HALAKHAH: A MORAL DIALOGUE ACROSS GENERATIONS
Every once in a while a verse from Tanakh comes and just smacks you upside the head like a flounder. How could I not have known that? Why did the opposite always seem obvious?
This week I was fishsmacked by Yechezkel 47:21-23:
:וְחִלַּקְתֶּ֞ם אֶת־הָאָ֧רֶץ הַזֹּ֛את לָכֶ֖ם לְשִׁבְטֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל
וְהָיָ֗ה תַּפִּ֣לוּ אוֹתָהּ֘ בְּנַחֲלָה֒ לָכֶ֗ם
וּלְהַגֵּרִים֙ הַגָּרִ֣ים בְּתוֹכְכֶ֔ם אֲשֶׁר־הוֹלִ֥דוּ בָנִ֖ים בְּתֽוֹכְכֶ֑ם
וְהָי֣וּ לָכֶ֗ם כְּאֶזְרָח֙ בִּבְנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל
:אִתְּכֶם֙ יִפְּל֣וּ בְנַחֲלָ֔ה בְּת֖וֹךְ שִׁבְטֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל
וְהָיָ֣ה בַשֵּׁ֔בֶט אֲשֶׁר־גָּ֥ר הַגֵּ֖ר אִתּ֑וֹ שָׁ֚ם תִּתְּנ֣וּ נַחֲלָת֔וֹ
נְאֻ֖ם אֲ-דֹנָ֥י יְקֹוִֽק: ס
You must divide this land to yourselves, to the tribes of Israel.
It will be that you will make it fall-by-lot as a homestead to you,
and to the gerim/converts who are gar/dwell among you, who have sired children in your midst.
They shall be to you like the ezrach/citizen of the Children of Israel;
with you they will fall-by-lot into homestead,
in the midst of the Tribes of Israel.
It will be in the tribe with which the convert dwells – there you will place his homestead.
The word of Hashem Elokim.
I always took for granted that converts did not have hereditary portions in the Land of Israel. How could they, when the Land was fully distributed in the time of Yehoshua?! Also, I knew that according to Mishnah Bikkurim 1:4, converts do not read the Bikkurim declaration “because they cannot say that Hashem promised to our ancestors to give to us”, and that Rabbeinu Tam went so far as to suggest that converts could not be obligated in Grace after Meals because the second blessing expresses gratitude for the Land.
True, we rule against Rabbeinu Tam, and many hold against the Mishnah that converts read the Bikkurim declaration, on the ground that the Torah etymologizes Avraham as “av hamon goyim”, “father of (converts from) many nations”. True, the land is overall given to the collective Jewish people, including the converts among us. But converts don’t have hereditary homesteads that their children inherit, do they? Perhaps this is one of the contradictions between Yechezkel and Torah that Chananyah ben Chizkiyah stayed up all night resolving in order to keep it off the banned books list (Chagigah 13a).
None of the standard traditional commentaries seem bothered. See for example Metzudat David 47:22:
אתכם יפלו = עמכם יירשו בנחלה
with you they will fall-by-lot = they will inherit homesteads together with you.
As for the land being fully divided amongst the “original” clans - Abravanel spells out the standard resolution:
But why was this not also so in Yehoshua’s division of the Land? Because the erev rav that ascended with Israel from Mitzrayim did not join them in their exile, and did not suffer their sufferings; rather, when they saw their success and redemption, they mixed into them, as Shemot 12:38 says: Also an erev rav/mixed multitude ascended with them, because they joined them only in their time of ascension, not before then, and also because they became a stumbling rock and tripping block to the Children of Israel in the Golden Calf episode and the other occasions of sin in the wilderness, and therefore it was not fitting for them to merit gaining homesteads with them.
But regarding the Future-To-Come, the prophet did not say here that the converts who would join them in the time of Redemption would homestead with the Children of Israel, because the Sages already said (Yebamot 24b) that “we must not accept converts in the Days of the Messiah”; rather he commanded this regarding the converts who dwelled among the Jews in Israel’s time of exile and accepted the holy covenant and endured the suffering of exile, because it is fit for them, that just as they became Israel to endure suffering, so too they should be part of the homesteading of the land, and this is what (Yechezkel 47:21-23) means . . . that they will take their share of the good which Hashem will give-as-benefit to Israel = שמהטוב אשר יטיב השם לישראל יקחו חלקם.
On this understanding, contemporary converts and their descendants will have full hereditary shares of the Land when it is reapportioned in Messianic times.
I read Abravanel’s last line as a deliberate allusion to Bamidbar 10:33, where Mosheh promises his in-laws that if they remain with the Jews,
וְהָיָ֖ה כִּי־תֵלֵ֣ךְ עִמָּ֑נוּ
:וְהָיָ֣ה׀ הַטּ֣וֹב הַה֗וּא אֲשֶׁ֨ר יֵיטִ֧יב יְקֹוָ֛ק עִמָּ֖נוּ וְהֵטַ֥בְנוּ לָֽךְ
It will be that if you travel with us,
then it will be that the good which Hashem will give-as-benefit to us, we will give as benefit to you.
In other words, Mosheh promised them a share in the Land. This reading is borne out by a beraita (Yerushalmi Bikkurim 1:4) which holds that specifically the descendants of Yitro could recite the Bikkurim declaration in full. (This connection is made by Torah Temimah. Note also that Kapot Temarim to Sukkah 34a explains that all converts can recite the declaration because it can be read as referring to the future - “to give to us” – and converts will have Hashem-given land in Messianic times.)
Or HaChayyim takes a slightly more limited approach, suggesting that Mosheh offered a share specifically in the “Lands of Sichon and Og”, i.e. TransJordan, which was not part of the original Divine promise. This approach requires Mosheh to know in advance that Sichon and Og will refuse Israel permission to cross.
Rashi, following Sifri, points to an even more limited approach. Mosheh offered Yitro the usufruct of a vast tract around Yericho, extending to Yerushalayim. According to some tannaim, this tract was left unapportioned so that the Temple could be built on unapportioned land. When the Temple was built, Yitro’s descendants were evicted after 440 years of tenancy.
These narrower approaches recognize that Bamidbar 10:32 is Mosheh’s second offer. His first offer is in 10:29:
:וַיֹּ֣אמֶר מֹשֶׁ֗ה לְ֠חֹבָב בֶּן־רְעוּאֵ֣ל הַמִּדְיָנִי֘ חֹתֵ֣ן מֹשֶׁה֒
נֹסְעִ֣ים׀ אֲנַ֗חְנוּ אֶל־הַמָּקוֹם֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר אָמַ֣ר יְקֹוָ֔ק 'אֹת֖וֹ אֶתֵּ֣ן לָכֶ֑ם'
לְכָ֤ה אִתָּ֙נוּ֙ וְהֵטַ֣בְנוּ לָ֔ךְ
:כִּֽי־יְקֹוָ֥ק דִּבֶּר־ט֖וֹב עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵֽל
Mosheh said to Chovev ben Reuel the Midianite, Mosheh’s in-law:
We are traveling to the place about which Hashem said “I will give it to you”;
go with us and we will give good-as-benefit to you
for Hashem has spoken of giving good to Israel.
This offer is rejected in 10:30:
:וַיֹּ֥אמֶר אֵלָ֖יו
לֹ֣א אֵלֵ֑ךְ
:כִּ֧י אִם־אֶל־אַרְצִ֛י וְאֶל־מוֹלַדְתִּ֖י אֵלֵֽךְ
He said to him:
I will not go
rather I will go to my land and my culture.
Sifri records a position in which Mosheh’s second offer is also rejected, presumably because it still implies second-class citizenship.
Sifri also records positions that greatly narrow the implications of Yechezkel 47. “If the verses cannot relate to homesteading; then apply them to atonement”, meaning that converts are atoned for by the sacrifices of the tribes they accompany; “If the verses cannot relate to homesteading, then apply them to burial”, meaning that converts have a right to be buried in the Land. These positions begin by reading Mosheh’s first offer as specifically excluding any land rights: “the place about which Hashem said “I will give it to you” – and not converts.”
What sort of negotiation is taking place? Many commentaries understand Mosheh as interested in preserving Yitro’s status as a powerful symbol of the persuasive truth of Judaism: “If you leave now, everyone will say that your conversion was for gain, and you left when the gain was disappointing.” If that is correct, then perhaps Yitro’s reply should be understood as: “If your religion is true, then how can you not give converts’ genuinely equal status? Isn’t that both unjust and hypocritical, when your own Torah says there must be one law for them, for the convert and the citizen”?
Chizkuni seems to acknowledge the moral force of Yitro’s argument, with Mosheh’s first response being that his hands are bound by Halakhah.
,והטבנו לך – מן השלל
אבל לתת לו חלק בארץ, לא היה הרשות בידם
we will give good-as-benefit to you from the spoils we take,
but to give him a portion in the land – they did not have the authority.
But when Yitro rejects that offer, Mosheh finds a loophole – the verse excluding converts did not apply to lands conquered beyond G-d’s original grant. Maybe that was enough to satisfy Yitro – Ramban thinks so - but maybe not.
Keli Yakar adopts a wholly different approach.
ואח'כ הבטיחו בטובה רוחנית
שיהיה מכלל הסנהדרין
שנקראו עיני העדה
כמ'ש והיית לנו לעינים
After (Yitro rejected the first offer) Mosheh promised him a spiritual good
namely that he would be included in the Sanhedrin
which are called “the eyes of the congregation”
as 10:31 says “and you will be eyes for us”
Mosheh’s second offer was not land but authority itself – he promised Yitro a seat on the Sanhedrin, a share in making the laws. (We will leave for another time how this promise can be squared with the halakhah excluding converts from positions of serarah.)
If Yitro accepted this version of the second offer, then he probably joined the Sanhedrin with the express ambition of modifying halakhah to give converts fully equal inheritance rights. Perhaps the verses in Yechezkel reflect his success. But then the Mishnah, and Sifri, and Rabbeinu Tam all pushed back against that outcome, and also met with some success. The moral history of halakhic interpretation is not linear.
Yitro accepted all of halakhah as binding even while maintaining his moral critique, and that is a powerful lesson for our generation. But we must also recognize that Yitro accepted only after Mosheh acknowledged that all those subject to halakhah must have seats at the highest tables of halakhic conversation and decisionmaking.

Standing in Two Worlds with Doctor Sam Juni-Episode 40-"Things will straighten themselves out" From whence does this disastrous "Yehiyeh Tov" attitude derive?
An unrealistic optimistic stance is a common response to challenges and crises. R. Kivelevitz points to the general Israeli reaction to recent group accident tragedies among Israeli Haredim and the odd oblivious reaction in the victims’ cohorts. Prof. Juni adds to the mix the Israeli pattern of reckless driving and the fact that many are unfazed by the chronic threat from Gaza. He outlines the classic developmental understanding of positivity in people as based on the childhood experience of the omnipotent father who can do anything. As the child matures and realizes that he or she is not under comprehensive protection, this attitude of absolute trust in powerful others continues even when there are no concrete powerful others around. Indeed, Dr. Juni points out that this attitude becomes amalgamated into a religious perspective that G-d is in absolute control of everything around us. Rabbi K. points out that classic Theological thinkers in Judaism actually see childhood omnipotent beliefs as the basis of orthodox Jewish theology. The discussants explore other understandings of reckless practices among many cultures. One idea advanced is that in pre-scientific times, people have no idea of physical causality, and therefore evinced a general model of unrealistic positivity – – which was then incorporated into general culture and religion. In other strains of thought among certain groups, is that belief in good outcomes somehow causes those very outcomes, a notion evident in the “Think well, and it shall be good” bumper stickers throughout religious communities. A theological train of thought is explored based on religious belief in Divine micromanagement which can be seen either as absolute trust that G-d will bring only positivity, but it is also expressed as fatalism in some, implying that we might as well not do anything because we cannot change anything. Finally, the historical origins of Jewish life for hundreds of years is discussed, noting that the only possible defense Jews had in their experience with countless uncontrollable programs was the defense of denial, and that this stance has continued even when denial became necessary and non-functional. R. Kivelevitz concludes that constant focus on possible dangers and disasters would be paralyzing and incapacitating, so that some degree of optimism and ignoring potential dangers is crucial for “normal“ living, and that we must balance caution with optimism (even if the optimism is sometimes unwarranted) in order to maintain our daily lives. In this vein, certain risks are warranted and even required so that individuals and societies can exist and thrive.
Doctor Samuel Juni is one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today. He has published groundbreaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals, and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations. Samuel Juni studied in Yeshivas Chaim Berlin under Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as a Talmid of Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick. Professor Juni is a prominent member of the Association of Orthodox Jewish Scientists, and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences. Associated with NYU since 1979, Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in important research. Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded on psychometric methodology and based on a psycho-dynamic psychopathology perspective. He is arguably the preeminent expert in Differential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studies entailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations.

that was presented by one of the leading Jewish scholars of our day
Rabbi Micheal J.Broyde
professor of law at Emory University School of Law
senior fellow and projects director
at the Center for the Study of Law and Religion
The Concise Code of Jewish Law for Converts
(Second Edition forthcoming, 2021, Urim)
Michael J. Broyde
מצות אהבת הגרים :שנצטוינו לאהוב הגרים, כלומר שנזהר שלא לצער אותם בשום דבר, אבל נעשה להם טובה ונגמול אותם
חסד כפי הראוי והיכולת. והגרים הם כל מי שנתחבר אלינו משאר האומות שהניח דתו ונכנס בדתנו, ועליהם נאמר ] דברים י ', י 'ט[
ואהבתם את הגר כי גרים הייתם. – ספר החינוך מצוה תלא
We are commanded to love the convert: In particular, we are directed not to cause converts to suffer in
any way, but rather to do them good and charitably as they deserve and as we can. The converts are all
those who have joined us from other nations and abandoned their religion and joined ours. About this
group, the Torah [Devarim 10:19] says, “Love the stranger [convert] since you were strangers.” – Sefer
HaChinuch Mitzva 431
The mitzva of loving the convert is fundamental to this work. Most sources that discuss this mitzva indicate that
it adds to the force of the obligation to love any Jew – to love the convert specifically. The question for a practical
halachic work, however, is: “How should one love the convert in particular?” Should one love the convert as in
the Midrashic parable of the stag joining the flock of sheep, recognizing that the convert is always an outsider
and will never exactly fit in? Or should one love the convert as a long-lost member of a family, who needs to be
reunited with the community as if the convert were always a family member, lest, out of loneliness, they return
to their original community?
This work adopts both of these alternatives as inherent to the complexity of the mitzva of loving the convert – to
love the convert because a convert is different and to love the convert by helping them fit in and not be different.
The first way of loving calls for heightening the pace and the degree of integration of the convert within the
Jewish community, so that they are no longer perceived as a convert. This complements one of the basic purposes
of the mitzva to love the convert: to make sure that the convert remains part of the Jewish community and does
not feel out of place or like a stranger. This is the basic message of Rambam’s famous letter to Rabbi Ovadia (the
Convert) directing him to pray in a similar manner as all other Jews. Thus, in all situations in which there is a
dispute about the mandates of Jewish law, this work follows this halachic factor in preferring to adopt the
normative Jewish law view which brings the convert to further integration into the Jewish people. The view that
highlights the convert’s status as an outsider is generally disfavored, while that which encourages integration is
generally favored. As Rabbi Moshe Feinstein (cited below in the introduction) taught: The mitzva to love the
convert obligates us to resolve disputed Jewish laws (where a convert is involved) in a way that further helps the
convert find their place within the community.
However, in certain situations, the convert’s status as a stranger within our community creates an affirmative need
of assistance navigating law, custom, and nuance. Ignoring that fact in the name of purely formalist equal status
– pretending that the convert is not a convert – is not truly loving. For example, Shulchan Aruch (OC 529:2)
records that when the Jewish festivals (chagim) arrive, there is a particular duty to reach out to invite the convert
into one’s home for festival meals. When all others are celebrating with family, one must manifest the love of the
convert in particular by acknowledging that they need special attention. To ignore a person’s status as a convert
when everybody else is family-focused does not manifest love and integration of the convert as an insider; it
simply causes the convert to focus on his family-less status. This work recognizes this reality and takes into
account that the duty to love the convert sometimes requires highlighting the fact that this person is a convert.
This is the two-sided nature of the duty to love the convert: One must both welcome the convert as an outsider,
as well as do one’s best to help them cease being an outsider. This work is aware of both ways of fulfilling the
obligation to love the convert and factors them both into its determinations of normative Jewish law.
Modern Jewish life in America has a number of unique characteristics, almost unprecedented historically. One of
those unique features is the social ease with which one can convert to Judaism. People can and do change religions
without almost any social, economic, or political complications. Indeed, studies show that people in America
change their faiths frequently, and conversion to Judaism is no exception. This is a new historical reality of
American Jewish life, and is still quite different from the reality in other parts of the world.
The present work addresses this new reality by filling a lacuna in the halachic literature both for converts and for
fellow Jews relating to converts. It collects the many different halachic issues that relate to the status of converts
after their conversion. It discusses all the cases in which the halachic rules are different (or even where some
authorities are of the opinion that the halachic rules are different) for a convert than they are for a born-Jew, or
for how a born-Jew is to relate to a convert rather than to a born-Jew. It offers normative rulings that are applicable
today for all of these questions.
Six Undergirding Questions
The halachic issues in which the rules for a convert or for other Jews relating to converts are not the same as for,
or toward, a born-Jew can be divided into six questions:
1. THE CONVERT’S RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FAMILY OF ORIGIN
There are certain mitzvot that are applied in toto differently to a convert, since the family of origin is not Jewish.
For example: How should one respect and honor their Gentile parents? Must a convert mourn for their parents in
the same way that a born-Jew does? Such questions apply no matter how recently a person converted and no
matter how well-integrated they are within the Jewish community. The basic question here is how to approach
the unusual family situation of a convert.
2. THE UNIQUE OBLIGATION TO LOVE A CONVERT
There are mitzvot incumbent on born-Jews in their relationships with converts. The most striking is the special
obligation to love a convert. The duty to love the convert is complex in that love sometimes calls for singling out
a convert for special attention, and not doing so at other times, depending on how the convert will respond to that
unique attention. The core question here is when to identify or single out a convert as such, and when to avoid
doing so.
3. TRANSITION ISSUES IN BEING A JEW WHO HAD BEEN A GENTILE
There are some transitional questions present in conversions, reflecting the fact that a person who was previously
a Gentile becomes, in a single moment, Jewish and obligated in Jewish Law. For example: May a convert eat the
kosher food they cooked the morning before the conversion, or is it prohibited to the convert as a form of bishul
akum (food cooked by a Gentile)? What are the prayer and blessing obligations of someone who converts in the
middle of the time specified for performance of time-bound mitzvot, such as in the middle of the day, in the
middle of sefira, in the middle of Chanuka, and so on? The complicated question here is how to handle the
situation in which a convert joins Judaism in the middle of an ongoing mitzva, or in which they must relate to
their past self. (Fortunately, although these issues are beguiling, they are also transitory.)
4. MARRIAGE LAWS FOR A CONVERT
There are certain people whom a convert may marry that a born-Jew may not marry, and there are certain people
whom a convert may not marry that a born-Jew may marry. For example: a convert may marry a mamzer, and a
female convert may not marry a Kohen. The core question is whom Jews who are converts may marry, since
converts are not Kohanim, Levites, or Israelites.
5. LIMITATIONS ON CONVERTS HOLDING POSITIONS OF AUTHORITY
Many societies exclude those members who were not born into the society from holding some powerful offices.
(One such society is that of the United States.) In parallel: the Torah tells us that a convert may not become a king
of the Jewish nation, and the Talmud rules that a convert may not serve in any position of binding coercive
authority. For example: a convert may not serve on certain kinds of rabbinical courts. See CM 7 and 8. The core
question is one of contemporary Jewish law: what are the modern day offices (or officers, or holders of certain
titles) that fit into this Talmudic rule?
6. A CONVERT AND PRAYERS THAT SPEAK OF ANCESTRAL JUDAISM
There is an ongoing dispute as to whether and when a convert recites specific parts of the traditional prayers that
reference Jewish ancestors or born Jewishness. For example: Does a convert bless God for having been made a
Jew (shelo asani goy)? The core questions are when and why a convert is called upon to identify themself in
prayer as a descendant of the earliest forefathers of the Jews, or as a descendent of the slaves redeemed from
Egypt, and when and why to identify themself as an outsider by birth.
Four Undergirding Principles Regarding Converts
There are four principles through which these questions are filtered:
1. Love: There is a special obligation to love the convert, and there is a special obligation not to allow a
convert to suffer because they converted. There are many explanations for this mitzva. The two primary
ones are love of the convert and fear that the convert might abandon their Judaism for their original faith.
The following midrash offers a parable to explain the obligation to love the convert as a form of endearment:
A king has many flocks of sheep... and one day a stag appears and joins the sheep. The stag grazes with
the sheep and returns with them at night, as if he were a sheep. When the shepherds tell the king of the
stag... the king takes great pride and interest in it and ensures that the shepherds treat the stag with special
care. The shepherds question the king, asking “you have thousands of animals over which you take no
personal interest... so why do you care so much about this one animal?” The king answers them, “My
sheep have only this flock to join, and cannot leave, but this stag has the whole world to choose from,
yet he chose my flock. He surely deserves my special attention and care.”
The midrash concludes that we, as the Jewish people, should give tremendous credit to the convert who has chosen
to leave their family and their people to join our ranks. This is why the convert deserves special consideration and
care. Other sources further attribute this mitzva to the fear that if converts are not loved, they might abandon
Judaism to return to the community that loves them. Some midrashim thus explain certain rules as grounded in
the concern “lest the convert return to their old faith.” Even these sources, however, still recognize that the
obligation to love the stranger in our midst is part of the legacy of Jewish slavery in Egypt and of our having been
gerim in that setting. Regardless of which concern is more paramount to a given reader of this work, it is clear
that there is a special obligation to act with particular kindness to converts as a way of showing love. For example:
the obligation includes a directive to help a convert celebrate the festivals, when they might feel most alone.
Furthermore: according to many sources, the Biblical repetition of the injunction against oppressing a convert
reinforces the prohibition against oppressing the convert, both in financial matters and in non-financial matters.
Moreover, many halachic authorities are of the view that there is even an obligation to help a convert earn a living
with ease.
2. Arevut: Since a convert is basically viewed as identical to a born-Jew, converts can mutually participate
with fellow Jews in discharging religious obligations for each other even when they have already
fulfilled their own obligation (called in Jewish law the principle of arevut). Although this matter is in
dispute, the general halachic consensus is that a convert can fulfill the obligation of others, even after they
have fulfilled their own. This work accepts that view.
While there are many proofs for this approach, suffice it to say that this is the consensus of halachic authorities.
It is also driven by the categorical insistence of many authorities that a convert may lead a congregation in prayer
(be motzi others as sheliach tzibbur); if a convert were not included in arevut, this rule of allowing a convert to
be a sheliach tzibbur/chazzan would need many caveats and modifications. In addition, this approach is consistent
with Rabbi Feinstein’s obligation that we love the convert by being lenient on matters that could otherwise
stigmatize them.
3. Minhagim: A convert is free to choose which set of Jewish customs (minhagim) the convert wishes to
adopt (Ashkenaz, Sephard, Edot Hamizrach, etc.). A convert is under no obligation to adopt the
customs of their biological homeland (so a Gentile born in Ukraine need not adopt minhag Ashkenaz) as
long as the convert adopts an existent halachic culture.
The same point is true in matters of hashkafa (ideology): A convert may choose any Orthodox ideology,
spanning the breadth of the Orthodox community. Even if a convert’s biological father is Jewish, the convert
still need not adopt his father’s ancestral family practices. Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Auerbach does note that a
convert should not adopt a mosaic of unique customs from varied communities. Rather a convert should choose
a community to join, and adopt that community’s practices.
4. “A convert is like a newborn child” ( ger shenitgayer kekatan shenolad ): This principle is a limited
one. It means only that a convert loses (from a Jewish law perspective) their biological and marital
relationships with their prior Gentile family. As a matter of Jewish law, the convert technically has no
mother, father, siblings, or spouse.
This principle explains why a convert’s halachic relationship with their family is sometimes different than that of
a born-Jew with theirs. However, this principle has very limited application: an adult convert is not “born again”
at conversion. The convert does not have to wait thirteen years to become a bar-mitzva, or twelve years to become
a bat-mitzva. The convert has to repay any money that they owed at the time of conversion, and continues to own
any property that they owned prior to their conversion. In short: the convert is not a newborn child for most
matters of Jewish law. Furthermore, as this work will show many times and in many places, a convert is not
prohibited from having a relationship with their prior family, although Jewish law is concerned with that prior
relationship being used to entice the convert to revert to their prior religion. These principles form the basis of
many of the rules and decisions found throughout this work, and are not necessarily repeated every time that they
are applicable.
Two Key Factors in Deciding Normative Jewish Law (Halacha)
Most of the topics discussed in this work are drawn from disputes by post-medieval rabbinic sages
(Achronim), by medieval sages (Rishonim), and even by sages in the Talmud itself. Thus, in order to reach
practical conclusions, we have utilized two key factors to guide us.
FIRST KEY FACTOR:
This book’s conclusions are reached through conventional analyses widely used for many halachic disputes,
the details of which are beyond the scope of this introduction. The two of these guidelines relevant to this
work are: Ashkenazi norm is generally followed when matters are disputed between Ashkenazim and
Sephardim (although we also note Sephardic practice), and when the Aruch Hashulchan or Mishnah Berurah
resolves a dispute, this work is inclined to follow their resolution over that of other poskim in that era.
SECOND KEY FACTOR:
We have always granted great weight to the obligation to love the convert. As Rabbi Moshe Feinstein states,
this mitzva affects how one resolves halachic questions that affect a convert. He notes simply:
אבל למעשה יש לידע, שהמצווה של ואהבתם את הגר )דברים עקב י' י'ט( מחייבת אותנו לקרבם ולהקל בכל עניינים אלו. ולפיכך
אחר ישוב גדול נראה, שאין להחשיב משרות אלו בתקופתנו כענין של מעשה שררה, דעיקר תפקיד של ישיבה הוא ללמד לתלמידים
כשהם רוצים. ומה שיש כח להמנהלים והראשי הישיבה על התלמידים לסלקם או שלא לקבל אותם לכתחילה וכדומה, אין זה אלא
כמו שררה של בעה'ב על פועליו, שאין זה מעין מינוי לשררה כלל. ולפי זה משרות אלו אינם אלא כמילוי תפקיד וכעניין של
עסק. ואין לדמות זה למש'כ באג'מ יו'ד חלק ב' סימן מ'ד בענין מינוי אשה להשגיח להכשרים, דהוי מינוי של שררה.
But, as a matter of normative practice, one should know that that mitzva to love the convert (Deut. 10:19)
obligates us to bring them closer and to be lenient on all these matters. Therefore, after considerable
contemplation it seems that these positions of authority are in our times examples of positions of mere
acts of authority (serarah), since the purpose of a yeshiva is to teach students who are interested in
studying. The fact that the authority of the principals or heads of the Yeshiva over the students includes
the authority to expel them or deny them admission and the like, is similar to the authority of any owner
over his workers and this has no connection to an appointment of formal serarah at all. Therefore, these
jobs are only like a profession, or a business deal. They should not be compared to what I have written in
Igrot Moshe YD 2:42 about the appointment of a woman as a kashrut supervisor, which is a position of
serarah.
It is important not to under-read this teshuva. What drives Rabbi Feinstein to the conclusion that being a rosh
yeshiva is a mere position of employment with no more authority than the owner of any business (a far from
obvious conclusion) is the duty to love the convert, since it directs us to be open and welcoming to converts,
which cannot be done by excluding the convert. That is exactly why Rabbi Feinstein opens with the duty to bring
the convert closer and connects that thought to his permissive ruling.
Rabbi Feinstein avers that when there is more than one reasonable approach to a halachic topic that impacts a
convert, one should adopt the view (of both the facts and the halacha) that shows love for the convert and brings
them closer and further integrates the convert. One does this by seeking to adopt constructs that diminish the
exclusion of a convert. When a reasonable person can see more than one halachic or logical or factual approach
to a problem, one should adopt the approach that favors integrating the convert, since this is a fulfillment of the
mitzva to love the convert. Of course, even Rabbi Feinstein agrees that one never adopts “wrong” views to allow
a convert to be comfortable or integrated.
Rabbi Feinstein connects the first sentence noting the duty to love the convert with the rest of the paragraph with
the words נראה גדול ישוב אחר ולפיכך”) Therefore, after considerable contemplation”) to tell the reader that the
conclusion that a rosh yeshiva is not a position of authority is limited to a case where the candidate is a convert,
due to the duty to love the convert.
To put it in a slightly different way, the commandment to love the convert weighs down on the scales to encourage
the resolution of any dispute in a loving way to the convert, as then another mitzva is fulfilled. Of course, this
does not justify conduct that is a violation of Jewish Law, but it argues for accepting reasonable views (of both
the facts and the rules) as normative that might not, in situations in which no convert is present, be accepted.
Rabbi Feinstein’s approach mandates that where there is more than one reasonable approach to a matter of Jewish
law concerning how to conduct oneself vis-a-vis a convert, one ought to adopt the approach that manifests love
of the convert, and not draw prejudicial distinctions between the convert and the born-Jew. This pathway is both
reasonable as a matter of normative halacha and at the same time enables fulfillment of the positive Torah
obligation of loving the convert. That positive commandment rests its thumb on the halachic scales to encourage
the resolution in a loving way. Ruling in a manner that stigmatizes the convert should only be done when that is
the sole reasonable halachic option.
In other words, just as my teachers taught me, so does this responsum of Rabbi Feinstein teach us that the mitzva
of loving the convert directs one to resolve halachic disputes about the proper conduct of a convert (or towards a
convert) in the way that manifests the greatest love to the convert. We are definitely not to resolve such a dispute
in a way that stigmatizes, shames, or humiliates a convert. The Torah obligation to love a convert is not an abstract
duty to love. Rather, as Rabbi Feinstein notes, it creates an obligation to rule on matters of Jewish law in a way
that allows the convert to sense that love and encourages others to manifest that love. This obligation is as real as
the other specific obligations that Jewish law commands, such as the obligation to invite a convert for Yom Tov
meals (OC 529), or to allow a convert to serve as a Rosh Yeshiva (CM 8). Rabbi Michael J. Broyde is professor of law at Emory University School of Law and senior fellow and projects director at the Center for the Study of Law andReligion at Emory University.

Rav Moshe-The Art of Psak with Rabbi Aryeh Klapper-Episode 1-The Limits of Empirical Research-Is Freeing an Agunah a Leniency or a Stringency?
Practical Halakhah exists in constant dialogue with the world around it. Competent poskim know and respond to the social, political, and economic realities of their communities. In turn, halakhah shapes those realities in important ways. Consider for example the effect of capitalism on the laws of interest, and the effect of halakhah on the price of ungrafted citrons.
Igrot Mosheh EH 1:49 was written when Rav Moshe Feinstein was living in Luban, Belarus. According to the biography printed at the start of Igrot Mosheh vol. 8, most of Rav Moshe’s teshuvot written in that period were lost in transit. The ones that survive often establish themes that recur in his halakhic decisions. In general, while Rav Moshe’s specific halakhic positions sometimes shifted over time, his underlying commitments were rock-solid. One of those commitments was to freeing agunot, and more, to an expansive notion of what constitutes a situation of iggun.
Belarus had joined the USSR in 1922, and Stalin had come to power in 1924. The combination of ideological opposition to religion and totalitarianism changed the reality of agunah cases in three ways. First, many women had a real option of leaving the religious community if the rabbis refused them permission to remarry. Second, even women who stayed within the community might see halakhah on this issue as an obstacle course rather than as a substantive moral guide. Third, husbands might very well be “disappeared” forever without notice and without record. Each of these factors potentially altered the classical calculus of credibility.
Mishnah Yebamot 15:1 states that if a couple goes abroad, and the woman returns alone claiming to be a widow, she is believed, even if her ground for the claim is hearsay. Ordinarily, two valid direct witnesses are necessary to undo a presumption of marriage. The Talmud offers a complex explanation for why the standards of evidence are relaxed here. There is a stick: if a court allows the remarriage and the husband turns up alive, she is forbidden to both men, and her children from the remarriage are now considered mamzerim. There is a motive: the Rabbis were lenient in order to free women from being agunot. And there is a rationale, framed as a chazakah or legal presumption: women investigate comprehensively before they remarry.
Rav Moshe’s interlocutor questions whether the chazakah is still applicable. He notes that in the Talmud, a woman is believed if she claims in her presumptive husband’s presence that he has divorced her. The ground for believing her is a chazakah attributed to Rav Hamnuna that “A woman is not brazen in the presence of her husband”. But RAMO EH 17:2 codifies the position that because of societal changes, this chazakah no longer generates the credibility necessary to allow remarriage. Perhaps the same is true for the chazakah that woman investigate comprehensively before remarrying?
Rav Moshe responds with an emphatic no. The changes that led RAMO to sideline Rav Hamnuna’s chazakah regarding divorce have no necessary implications for the chazakah regarding death. Rav Moshe ignores entirely, and I suggest deliberately, the question of whether changes specific to his own time and place have weakened the latter chazakah. Everything he says could have been written identically in the late 16th century.
Two halakhic issues remain, however.
The first is that the Mishnah says that the widow is believed only if “there is peace in the world and peace among them”. If there is war, then perhaps the husband is alive and prevented from returning or communicating. If there was marital strife, then perhaps the husband is maliciously staying out of contact precisely to make his wife an agunah. Rav Moshe notes that even by the woman’s account, the husband had been completely out of touch for twenty years before his death. That seems to show clearly that he was in fact willing and maybe eager to leave her an agunah, so why is she believed?
He offers three responses.
The first is entirely technical. Talmud Yebamot 116a limits “lack of peace between them” to the extreme case in which the wife has previously made a false claim of divorce. RAMO EH 17:48 cites a position that adds the case of a husband who apostasized. Rav Moshe argues that RAMO does not intend to broaden the category to cases like those two cases, but only to add that one case. He contends that this is a better reading of RAMO’s source in Shiltei Gibborim. (I am not sure why.)
Rav Moshe’s second response is that in this case, there are witnesses that the woman behaved as a widow the moment she reported the husband’s death. He contends that this enhances her credibility. (I am not sure why.)
The third response is that even the extension to apostasy is controversial.
Rav Moshe does not address the question whether the gulag might play the same role as “lack of peace in the world”.
Overall, Rav Moshe’s responses seem weak if his goal is to convince us that the woman is obviously being truthful. However, they make a great deal of sense in light of Maharik #72.
Maharik notes that Mishnah Yebamot 15:2 frames the decision to relax the standards of evidence as resulting from a specific case in which a beit din investigated a woman’s claim to be widowed and it proved true. Tosafot Yebamot 116b comment that “because they saw that there would be many agunot if they did not believe her”. Maharik explains that the specific case taught the Rabbis that even women who told the truth would often be unable to find sufficient formal evidence. The Rabbis knew that some women would falsely claim to be widows; it would be ridiculous to conclude from one case that all women always told the truth in such situations. But they created the legal presumption anyway, because the consequences of the higher standard were unbearable.
Rav Moshe does essentially the same thing. He presumably knows that the situation in the USSR made false claims more likely, but it also made more true claims impossible to prove. The balance of those changes meant that the rule should be left intact.
However, a compromise is available. Rav Moshe has the option of saying that the rabbi should at least make a good faith effort to verify the woman’s claim before permitting her to remarry. Pitchei Teshuvah 17:158 cited Radbaz as saying that in some cases where an investigation can be easily done, it must be done.
Rav Moshe declines the compromise, on two grounds. First, he asserts that Radbaz required this only in cases where a woman was reputed to be licentious, and he sees no grounds for making this a general rule. (It seems likely that Rav Moshe did not see the original of Shu”t Radbaz 3:542, which strongly confirms his position. Radbaz seems to be dealing with a case in which a woman had made previous false claims of widowhood.) Second, Rav Moshe writes that since there is a man prepared to marry the widow in his case, and that man may not be willing to wait around while the rabbi investigates – the case is one of iggun gamur, just as if the woman were being prevented from marrying at all. (It’s not clear whether Rav Mosheh would have the same objection if the woman did not have a proposal in hand.)
I derive three principles from this teshuvah of Rav Moshe.
1) While chazakot are influenced by social changes, there is no straight line from a change in circumstances to a change in law. The legal presumptions that Chazal created via chazakot resulted from an interplay between their evaluation of reality and their sense of what halakhic outcomes were necessary or desirable.
2) Decisions in agunah cases are not properly classified as chumrot or kullot. Preventing a woman from remarrying is a wrong comparable to the stringency of allowing a woman to commit adultery. I don’t mean that 50/50 cases should be decided by a coinflip, or even necessarily that one can permit remarriage when the odds are less than 999,999,999 to 1. What I mean is that Chazal set up a very precise balance, and that any deviation from that balance, either way, is equally problematic.
3) For agunot, justice delayed is justice denied.

Standing in Two Worlds with Doctor Sam Juni-Episode 39- Staying up all night this Shavuos? Understand what you'll be missing- Psychological Purpose of Dreams
Sleep deprivation is marked by its physiological repercussions and its negative effects on cognitive and psychological functioning. Stressing that dreaming is essentially entails a detour from reality testing as one dives into fantasy, Prof. Juni limits his comments to the latter as he discusses the psychoanalytic formulation of the purpose of dreams. He argues that dreaming is a regression to an irrational world of early childhood which almost resembles psychotic thinking. Adults are socialized to censor primitive basic thoughts and emotions. The dream process allows adults to revert to their natural basic primitive functioning mode each night for a limited time, with the understanding that they can then return to adult style functioning by repressing the details of that journey. The inability to remember dream contents is affected by repression. R. Kivelevitz pointed out that people vary -- from having no access to their dreams at all, to those who are very distressed and haunted by dreams that they remember vividly. Juni explained that neither of those extremes are typical of individuals with solid mental health, as they obviously are either totally divorced from their basic needs and motivations or totally undefended from primitive rationality, respectively. Regarding individuals who crave sleep constantly and would run off to bed at any time if only feasible, Juni describes them as manifesting an intense need to regress and avoid reality.… Kivelevitz raises the issue of prevalent sleep deprivation modes which can be seen in avid students, scholars, or hobby enthusiasts. Juni responds by urging individuals to listen to their body about sleep needs, arguing that sleep deprivation must have negative affect on the sophistication of thoughts. Juni and Kivelevitz both deplore the traditional practice in hospitals where interns are forced to function for many hours without sleep.… In responding to a challenge from Kivelevitz, Juni admits that majority of his colleagues do not view dream content as significant, since the mental health field no longer hardly considers dynamics, dealing instead with problematical symptoms at the pragmatic level. Juni sees this as a continuation of the millennia-long evolution of the mind body problem, sadly noting that the body is winning out over the mind throughout the medical and psychiatric domains.… Returning to the main focus of the discussion, Kivelevitz laments the zombie-like state of many folks who push themselves to attend lectures and classes on Shavuot Eve, seeing this as part and parcel of the shallowness of which is promoted in some contemporary religious circles. Juni takes the position that there is a benefit to pushing yourself occasionally beyond your body’s comfort zones in the service of being part of a larger group experience, especially if it offers a religious/social mode of group identification.
Doctor Samuel Juni is one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today. He has published groundbreaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals, and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations. Samuel Juni studied in Yeshivas Chaim Berlin under Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as a Talmid of Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick. Professor Juni is a prominent member of the Association of Orthodox Jewish Scientists, and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences. Associated with NYU since 1979, Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in important research. Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded on psychometric methodology and based on a psycho-dynamic psychopathology perspective. He is arguably the preeminent expert in Differential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studies entailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations. Professor Juni created and directed NYU's Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titled Cross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments. Based in Yerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors.

RambaN(and Raavad)Vs,RambaM-Yom Yerushalayim Special-Is Original Kedusha still present there and on Har HaBayis?
The following is a letter from Rabbi Kivelevitz .
Shalom Ubracha- It is quite unnecessary to state here how stressful the last fourteen months have been. As Klal Yisroel places an immeasurable value on learning and intellectual growth, many of us have weathered this storm by entrenching ourselves deeper into our rich literary heritage, discovering insight and inspiration and using the pause of hustle bustle activity to savor new texts and articulate probing questions. The tools of teleconferencing have generated the bracha of wide attendance in Shiurim and access to the world's finest Torah teachers. Energized by these positives, I am humbly offering to partner with all of you on a venture of discovery. Over twenty-five years ago, I listened with rapt attention as Professor Haym Soloveichick eulogized his father. He said the Rambam,Maimonides, was the Girsa DaYankusa of his father, which the prodigy grew up memorizing like nursery rhymes, with all of Mishna Torah etched in his memory and flowing easily from his lip. However,it was in that other Moshe, Nachmanides, that the elder Soloveichick discovered his intellectual approach and soul. It can be assumed that Rav Soloveichick's flowering as the premier Talmudist of our times was built in great part by contrasting the words of each of these Medieval teachers in areas they had both worked on, or where Ramban levels his often withering criticism of Rambam's position. There are scores of examples throughout Shas,and in particular in the work Nachmanides dedicated to staking his disagreements with his Egyptian counterpart-Hasagos to the Rambam's Sefer HaMitzvos. In his classic towering Perush on Chumash,Ramban forcefully attacks many of Rambam's explanations of mitzvos and interpretations of biblical events. We can together discover anew these diamond like gems of codification, inquiry analysis and poetic barbs that issued from these giants.....-armed with the salient texts, and buoyed by an enthusiasm to discover, I relish the prospect of learning with you.

Standing in Two Worlds-Episode 38-Report from Israel after the Deaths in Meron- Making Peace within ourselves : The psychological underpinnings of our desire to visit hallowed gravesites
As a preamble to the discussion, Professor Juni outlines the politics of autonomous Haredi functioning in Israeli government policy. The general attitude of Israeli agencies has been to leave Haredim to their own devices even as they suffer from the negative repercussions. This manifest, as well, in the benign neglect of dangerous violations of Covid regulations by Haredim, which persisted for a while, until they were perceived as endangering the population at large .Juni summarizes in non-scientific terms the technical aspects of danger that persist in the pandemic even in populations with widespread immunization program, specifically highlighting mutational dangers among the non-vaccinated which can break the vaccination barrier to endanger the entire population.
The main focus of the discussion is the Meron phenomenon, which centers on visiting Graves of Saints, and also branches out to visiting graves of beloved family members. Many of these visitors relate to the deceased and interact with them as if they were still with us. Prodded by Rabbi Kivelevitz, Juni shares his own bifurcated style of functioning, where he conducts his general life based on rational considerations yet visits his parents’ graves and relates to them on the level of emotionally childish logic – – as he carries on one-side of conversations with them. While the notion of visiting graves is suggested to be a pagan in origin, Kivelevitz sees the recent huge and unsafe Meron pilgrimage as a cathartic reaction to the easing down of the long Covid lockdown. He also suggests that relating to loved ones who have passed on is a way of a allaying the existential terror of death which we all face by acting as if the after-life is a given.
Analyzing the general Israeli reaction to the Meron tragedy, the discussants analyze the nature of the profound vilification of Haredim by the Israeli public. The reciprocal condemnation by Haredim of all “others” is posited to entail a circling the wagons, and is especially designed to minimize the allure of the secular world to Haredi youth. Resulting in the total alienation of Haredim from the social milieu, this essentially means that the chances of outsiders choosing the Haredi way of life are minimalist. R. Kivelevitz suggests that the template of positive positively oriented PR which has been used successfully by the gay movement and the woke culture to gain general acceptance might be utilized – – in the style of Chabad and Rabbi Sacks – – to present any more attractive picture of the virtues of Haredi life by those engaged in positive outreach efforts
Doctor Samuel Juni is one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today. He has published groundbreaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals, and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations. Samuel Juni studied in Yeshivas Chaim Berlin under Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as a Talmid of Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick. Professor Juni is a prominent member of the Association of Orthodox Jewish Scientists, and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences. Associated with NYU since 1979, Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in important research. Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded on psychometric methodology and based on a psycho-dynamic psychopathology perspective. He is arguably the preeminent expert in Differential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studies entailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations. Professor Juni created and directed NYU's Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titled Cross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments. Based in Yerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors. Below is a partial list of the journals to which Professor Juni has contributed over 120 articles. Many are available on line Journal of Forensic Psychology Journal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma. International Review of Victimology The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease International Forum of Psychoanalysis Journal of Personality Assessment Journal of Abnormal Psychology Journal of Psychoanalytic Anthropology Psychophysiology Psychology and Human Development Journal of Sex Research Journal of Psychology and Judaism Contemporary Family Therapy American Journal on Addictions Journal of Criminal Psychology Mental Health, Religion & Culture As Rosh Beis Medrash, Rabbi Avraham Kivelevitz serves as Rav and Posek for the morning minyan at IDT.

Standing in Two Worlds Episode 37-Can Israel move beyond the Sephardi-Ashkenazi divide?
The discrimination against Sefaradi Jews in Israeli history is outlined and is seen as pervasive in politics, academia, employment, Yeshivos, and in the Rabbinic power structure. On the other hand, RabbiKivelevitz points out that blending of cultures in general -- including Ashkenazi adoptions of Sefaradi traditions -- does exist in liturgy, holiday celebrations (especially Lag Ba’omer, the entertainment field, Shabbat Zmiros and in the culinary/diet domain. Proffesor Juni sees a parallel between current discrimination against Blacks in the USA and the plight of the Israeli Sefaradim. Psychologically, Juni sees Sefaradim having a social inferiority complex toward Ashkenazim, particularly in terms of their lack of intellectual critical thinking as defined by Western criteria. This comes to fore especially in Rabbinic scholarship, where Ashkenazi halachic decisors are seen as more sophisticated in this respect.
Kivelevitz points out that racial intermarriage has been a major catalyst toward improved race relations in America, a pattern that is being replicated in Ashkenazi-Sefaradi intermarriages in Israel. It is noted that Sefaradim are seen as more committed to the country and to the Zionist ideal, in contrast to cynical Western-style attitudes among many Ashkenazi Israelis. While discrimination is presented as rampant in the Charedi world, significant strides in equality are to seen as due to the public education system and army experience, where the two cultures get to know each other in the context of true friendship, social interactions, and cooperative efforts.

RambaN Vs.RambaM-Episode 36- Milchamah according to the Torah -Are we enjoined to be compassionate towards our enemies?
The following is a letter from Rabbi Kivelevitz .
Shalom Ubracha-
It is quite unnecessary to state here how stressful the last ten months have been. As Klal Yisroel places an immeasurable value on learning and intellectual growth, many of us have weathered this storm by entrenching ourselves deeper into our rich literary heritage, discovering insight and inspiration and using the pause of hustle bustle activity to savor new texts and articulate probing questions. The tools of teleconferencing have generated the bracha of wide attendance in Shiurim and access to the world's finest Torah teachers. Energized by these positives, I am humbly offering to partner with all of you on a venture of discovery.
Over twenty-five years ago, I listened with rapt attention as Professor Haym Soloveichick eulogized his father. He said the Rambam,Maimonides, was the Girsa DaYankusa of his father, which the prodigy grew up memorizing like nursery rhymes, with all of Mishna Torah etched in his memory and flowing easily from his lip. However,it was in that other Moshe, Nachmanides, that the elder Soloveichick discovered his intellectual approach and soul.
It can be assumed that Rav Soloveichick's flowering as the premier Talmudist of our times was built in great part by contrasting the words of each of these Medieval teachers in areas they had both worked on, or where Ramban levels his often withering criticism of Rambam's position. There are scores of examples throughout Shas,and in particular in the work Nachmanides dedicated to staking his disagreements with his Egyptian counterpart-Hasagos to the Rambam's Sefer HaMitzvos. In his classic towering Perush on Chumash,Ramban forcefully attacks many of Rambam's explanations of mitzvos and interpretations of biblical events.
In the coming weeks, we can together discover anew these diamond like gems of codification, inquiry analysis and poetic barbs that issued from these giants.....-armed with the salient texts, and buoyed by an enthusiasm to discover, I relish the prospect of learning with you.

Standing in Two Worlds with Doctor Sam Juni-Episode 36- Scars and Scabs-Yom HaZikoron continuously reveals the massive rift in Israeli Society and divisions between all mankind
The understandable reaction of families who lost a loved one are analyzed from a psychoanalytic perspective from the lens of Survivor Guilt. Drawing from his studies with families of Holocaust victims, Profesor Juni presents the dynamics of coping mechanisms, which usually results in attributing blame to others, to oneself, to God, or to the victim. Guilt is seen as intrinsically ties to such coping.
Rabbi Kivelevitz challenges this view, suggesting that mourning does not seem to entail guilt as a rule. The discussants then tackle the mutual hostility evident between families who have lost loved ones serving in the IDF and the Haredim or Arabs who do not serve. Juni sees much of the hostilities as engendered by guilt which is projected unto the “other,” explaining that the other is a necessary target which helps us adjust to tragedy and difficulties.
Kivelevitz then infers from this formulation that efforts to bridge the divide via rational discourse would then be doomed to failure. Juni then proceeds to apply his psycho-economic perspective of Survivor Guilt (based on Freidman’s Depletion Guilt and Baumeister’s Inequity Guilt theories) to make sense of the reactions of survivors toward families of victims. Based on an initial attitude of finite resources, people unknowingly maintain this attitude inappropriately toward random and unexplainable mishaps, unconsciously expecting that misfortunes are finite in number; this means that when others suffer tragedies, they will then be spared from misfortunes. In essence, this results in an unconscious perception of relief and gain from other’s tragedies. Inevitably, this elicits guilt, which then may lead to displacing the guilt and transforming it into strife and antipathy.
Kivelevitz capitalizes on this perspective to explain the strained dynamics which mourners often sense when some visitors arrive to Shiva to console them – especially when they visitors hardly know the mourners.
The episode ends noting that the divisions within our community are determined by insidious psychological dynamics which are not likely to disappear anytime soon........

Standing In Two Worlds with Doctor Sam Juni-Episode 35-Monagamous Uber Alles Herr Doktor-Psychological Pitfalls of Polygamy and May-December Marriages
Referencing Andrew Solomon’s recent expose in the New Yorker on the challenges to traditional family structure by polygamist and polyamorist lifestyles, Professor Juni and Rabbi Kivelevitz engage a range of social antecedents with a particular focus on Biblical and Rabbinic sources, with a focus on the quality of marital relationships and optimal child development. Juni prefaces his presentation, citing his study of bigamy in the Mormon community – which they refer to as "Biblical Marriage" and his research work with bigamous couples in the Native-American, Bedouin, and Black Hebrew communities. He stresses that the alternative lifestyles often confuse sexual activity with genuine interpersonal relations. While opining that the depiction of bigamy in the Pentateuch seems incidental rather than normative, Juni argues that the Biblical perspective on the institution of marriage is entirely male oriented – which he contrasts emphatically from misogyny. .........
....Kivelevitz takes exception to this notion, citingBiblical, Talmudic, and Rabbinic texts about bigamy in Jewish tradition . Moving on to the psychological perspective, Juni expounds on the Freudian understanding that marriage is a sublimated expression of the Oedipal-Electra complex which spells out the need to form a new unit of joint identity of two individuals who care for each other deeply. Moreover, as expounded in Object Relations Theory, the need for such intimate dyadic relationships are inborn basic human needs. Alternative marriage options thus defy optimal templates of (what Freud saw as) relational biologically-ingrained evolutionarily-mandated healthy living styles. The discussants explore the implications of this theory on the appropriateness of marital couples whose ages differ significantly. Kivelevitz raises the scientific reservation of Freud’s dismissiveness of alternate marital norms in various cultures and questioned Freud’s objectivity in arriving at his version of the marital imperative, prompting Juni to agree that Freud was ethnocentric and male-biased in his formulations. Despite these biases, Juni asserts that alternate relational styles to monogamous relationships -- especially bigamy and polyandry (its converse) -- pose serious relational problems because of their inherent relationship asymmetry. Such asymmetry inevitably engenders jealousy and mistrust. The kinship of co-wives and the warm family feeling in the Mormon and Black Hebrew cultures is described by Juni as a possible counterpoint to the Freudian perspective, with the caveat that this entails more of a group identification – in contrast to a marital union...... ..... Doctor Samuel Juni is one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today. He has published groundbreaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals, and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations. Samuel Juni studied in Yeshivas Chaim Berlin under Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as a Talmid of Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick.

RambaN Vs.RambaM Episode 34-Life is like a box of chocolates-Miracles Every Moment Literally
The following is a letter from Rabbi Kivelevitz .
Shalom Ubracha-
It is quite unnecessary to state here how stressful the last ten months have been. As Klal Yisroel places an immeasurable value on learning and intellectual growth, many of us have weathered this storm by entrenching ourselves deeper into our rich literary heritage, discovering insight and inspiration and using the pause of hustle bustle activity to savor new texts and articulate probing questions. The tools of teleconferencing have generated the bracha of wide attendance in Shiurim and access to the world's finest Torah teachers. Energized by these positives, I am humbly offering to partner with all of you on a venture of discovery.
Over twenty-five years ago, I listened with rapt attention as Professor Haym Soloveichick eulogized his father. He said the Rambam,Maimonides, was the Girsa DaYankusa of his father, which the prodigy grew up memorizing like nursery rhymes, with all of Mishna Torah etched in his memory and flowing easily from his lip. However,it was in that other Moshe, Nachmanides, that the elder Soloveichick discovered his intellectual approach and soul.
It can be assumed that Rav Soloveichick's flowering as the premier Talmudist of our times was built in great part by contrasting the words of each of these Medieval teachers in areas they had both worked on, or where Ramban levels his often withering criticism of Rambam's position. There are scores of examples throughout Shas,and in particular in the work Nachmanides dedicated to staking his disagreements with his Egyptian counterpart-Hasagos to the Rambam's Sefer HaMitzvos. In his classic towering Perush on Chumash,Ramban forcefully attacks many of Rambam's explanations of mitzvos and interpretations of biblical events.
In the coming weeks, we can together discover anew these diamond like gems of codification, inquiry analysis and poetic barbs that issued from these giants.....-armed with the salient texts, and buoyed by an enthusiasm to discover, I relish the prospect of learning with you.

Tshuvos and Poskim-Allowing Kitniyos Bishaas Hadechak- Placing a Premium on Preserving Dignity
Pesach is a Yom Tov which has always been saddled with the enormous cost of Kosher for Pesach articles
Individuals operating in poverty have been granted by great Poskim,in various times novel and startling Halachic dispensations.
The Issur Ben Tzvi Hersh Tshuvos and Poskim Shiur of the Yeshiva of Newark@IDT presented
the renowned author, educator and Posek,Rabbi Aryeh Klapper
Dean of the Center for Modern Torah Leadership, Chaver of the Boston Beit Din who explored the fascinating question
When baseline halakhah becomes too heavy a burden on the poor, where they are availing themselves of halakhic leniencies,
should the rest of the community continue to adhere to normative Psak Halacha, when doing so severely embarrasses the underprivileged?
The presentation was titled
A Premium on the Preservation of Dignity
Neutralizing the Sting of Economic Inequalities
The lecture features reading from the Responsa of
Rav Yaakov Meir ben Chayyim Padua,Rav Dovid Tzvi Hoffman
and Rav Malkiel Tenenbaum

Standing in Two Worlds with Sam Juni-Episode 34-The Pesach Seder Organizes and Defines Family Identity and allows the airing out of Painful Trauma
Some of our personal identities include much more than ourselves. The concept of family and identity is posited to be inherently founded on common rituals and narratives. Some of these are religious, but many are tinged by personalized events and interpretations of reality and history. Many may even be bizarre, distorted, or untrue. Dr. Juni conceptualizes such artifacts as part of the required social-psychological features of group identity: defining others are outsiders to give one’s own group or family the feeling of being insiders........Rabbi Kivelevitz focuses on the Passover Seder as a family event which combines cultural and family rituals and often serves as the singular yearly event which fosters family connections and identity. Juni concurs, noting that the multi-sensory smorgasbord of food, visual cues, and food all enhance the complex fabric of narrative and identity....... Kivelevitz opines that it may, paradoxically, be functional to limit such events to once yearly, in order to preserve their potency and significance, noting that yearly religious-cultural events serve as time markers for personal and familial watershed transitions. He also notes that it is crucial that each family member—regardless of sophistication, or religious persuasion – is given to the opportunity to verbalize and share the personal meaning the events may hold (or not) for himself or herself. This imbues personal significance to the holiday and its celebration to one and all, even if that relevance may be tangential or antithetical to the cultural intent of the event. In this vein, Kivelevitz engages Juni in a discussion about the relative merits of having different memorial events for momentous markers in religion, culture, or family. Specifically, the discussants consider the debate whether to combine Yom HaShoah with Tish B’Av, or celebrating personal miracles as part of the Passover Seder. Relatedly, the two debate whether it is appropriate to combine discussions of the historical Egyptian exodus with the recent Holocaust experience - -especially for survivors and their families.
Doctor Samuel Juni is one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today. He has published groundbreaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals, and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations. Samuel Juni studied in Yeshivas Chaim Berlin under Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as a Talmid of Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick. Professor Juni is a prominent member of the Association of Orthodox Jewish Scientists, and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences. Associated with NYU since 1979, Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in important research. Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded on psychometric methodology and based on a psycho-dynamic psychopathology perspective. He is arguably the preeminent expert in Differential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studies entailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations. Professor Juni created and directed NYU's Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titled Cross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments. Based in Yerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors. Below is a partial list of the journals to which Professor Juni has contributed over 120 articles. Many are available on line Journal of Forensic Psychology Journal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma. International Review of Victimology The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease International Forum of Psychoanalysis Journal of Personality Assessment Journal of Abnormal Psychology Journal of Psychoanalytic Anthropology Psychophysiology Psychology and Human Development Journal of Sex Research Journal of Psychology and Judaism Contemporary Family Therapy American Journal on Addictions Journal of Criminal Psychology Mental Health, Religion & Culture As Rosh Beis Medrash, Rabbi Avraham Kivelevitz serves as Rav and Posek for the morning minyan at IDT. Hundreds of listeners around the globe look forward to his weekly Shiur in Tshuvos and Poskim.

As Klal Yisroel places an immeasurable value on learning and intellectual growth, many of us have weathered this storm by entrenching ourselves deeper into our rich literary heritage, discovering insight and inspiration and using the pause of hustle bustle activity to savor new texts and articulate probing questions.

Standing in Two Worlds with Doctor Sam Juni-Episode 33-Seuss-More Doctor than you realize-Children's Psychology and Literature Should serve the same need
The episode begins as the discussants share their reactions to the current trend of censorship by the Western Liberal establishment. Proffesor Juni shares the current “They are coming for us” atmosphere pervading the world of academia in the wake of Cancel Culture by the Woke, where the tribunal of hearsay and constructive narrative reigns unchallenged....
....Juni raises the specter of outright book banning and book burnings which have consistently characterized fascist anti-freedom regimes. He goes on to stress that censoring of unacceptable aspects of literature and art results in distorted caricatures of the real world, with all its has inherent faults and inadequacies , as a fictionalized ideal. As such, he continues, society and children profit from having different works from non-PC authors with alternate perspectives....
.... Rabbi Kivelevitz predicts that progressive values inevitably upgrade, which means that today’s condemners will themselves surely be censored soon by upcoming gatekeepers who will point out the inadequacies of today's flawless idealists.....
..... Juni expounds on the idea that Child Development is a relatively new field In Psychology, since children were viewed merely as miniature adults until recently. Children’s toys are very new social phenomena, as is the idea that children have different needs, mentalities, and thought processes. As such, Fairy Tales were actually brutal stories intended to keep children in line by thinly disguised threats of horrors should they misbehave – much like rumors which were politically stoked among adults by the powers-that-be to keep them under control. Kivelevitz offers remarkable facets of classic fairy tales in the original versions before they were sanitized by Disney and others...... On the psychological level, traditional fairy tale legends are portrayed as relating to hopes, fears, success, and failure in life’s challenges, while more contemporary fantasy books are designed to the mastery of disturbing emotions, to promoting prosocial behavior, to encourage thinking out of the box, and to instill a respect for interpersonal differences....
....As Juni sees it, Children's Literature should encourage exploration of feelings without fear of censure Kivelevitz concurs
and points out that parents may be doing a disservice to their children by reading rigidly a whole as written book to their child, rather than just a small section and getting the child’s reactions and expectations of what might happen, what could happen, and what should happen next. .........
.......Doctor Samuel Juni is one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today. He has published groundbreaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals, and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations. Samuel Juni studied in Yeshivas Chaim Berlin under Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as a Talmid of Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick. Professor Juni is a prominent member of the Association of Orthodox Jewish Scientists, and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences. Associated with NYU since 1979, Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in important research. Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded on psychometric methodology and based on a psycho-dynamic psychopathology perspective. He is arguably the preeminent expert in Differential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studies entailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations. Professor Juni created and directed NYU's Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titled Cross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments. Based in Yerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors.

RambaN Vs.RambaM- Episode 32-"Those Mitzvos....They're Just To Die For!"
The following is a letter from Rabbi Kivelevitz .
Shalom Ubracha-
It is quite unnecessary to state here how stressful the last ten months have been. As Klal Yisroel places an immeasurable value on learning and intellectual growth, many of us have weathered this storm by entrenching ourselves deeper into our rich literary heritage, discovering insight and inspiration and using the pause of hustle bustle activity to savor new texts and articulate probing questions. The tools of teleconferencing have generated the bracha of wide attendance in Shiurim and access to the world's finest Torah teachers. Energized by these positives, I am humbly offering to partner with all of you on a venture of discovery.
Over twenty-five years ago, I listened with rapt attention as Professor Haym Soloveichick eulogized his father. He said the Rambam,Maimonides, was the Girsa DaYankusa of his father, which the prodigy grew up memorizing like nursery rhymes, with all of Mishna Torah etched in his memory and flowing easily from his lip. However,it was in that other Moshe, Nachmanides, that the elder Soloveichick discovered his intellectual approach and soul.
It can be assumed that Rav Soloveichick's flowering as the premier Talmudist of our times was built in great part by contrasting the words of each of these Medieval teachers in areas they had both worked on, or where Ramban levels his often withering criticism of Rambam's position. There are scores of examples throughout Shas,and in particular in the work Nachmanides dedicated to staking his disagreements with his Egyptian counterpart-Hasagos to the Rambam's Sefer HaMitzvos. In his classic towering Perush on Chumash,Ramban forcefully attacks many of Rambam's explanations of mitzvos and interpretations of biblical events.
In the coming weeks, we can together discover anew these diamond like gems of codification, inquiry analysis and poetic barbs that issued from these giants.....-armed with the salient texts, and buoyed by an enthusiasm to discover, I relish the prospect of learning with you.

The Deeper End of the Parsha-Ki Sisa-What does Shekel HaKodesh really mean?-An exploration with Rabbi Dovid Hojda
. . זֶ֣ה׀ יִתְּנ֗וּ כׇּל־הָעֹבֵר֙ עַל־הַפְּקֻדִ֔ים מַחֲצִ֥ית הַשֶּׁ֖קֶל בְּשֶׁ֣קֶל הַקֹּ֑דֶשׁ
This week's parsha speaks of a שֶׁ֣קֶל הַקֹּ֑דֶשׁ.
What does that mean?
What makes that שֶׁ֣קֶל a שֶׁ֣קֶל הַקֹּ֑דֶשׁ?
In what sense is it קֹּ֑דֶשׁ?
Even better, what makes anything קֹּ֑דֶשׁ?
Is it an inherent quality?
Or maybe it's a legal status -- and nothing more?
This is a fundamental question, with broad implications.
A 45-minute class will NOT do it justice, but we will at least try to explore the topic, through close reading of some of the basic sources.
These will include Ramban (al haTorah), Rambam (Moreh Nevuchim and Mishneh Torah), and Ibn Ezra (al haTorah).

Standing In Two Worlds with Doctor Sam Juni-Episode 32-Systems Theory Shatters the Idyllic Grandparent Myth
Rabbi Kivelevitz begins the discussion by observing that the Pandemic has disrupted the life of the extended family, inducing various stresses............
.........Professor Juni, drawing upon General Systems Theory with a particular focus on Triangulation, Alliances, and Coalitions charts out the negative as well as the positive roles grandparents have in families – highlighting specific divisiveness they tend to exacerbate between the spousal couple and in the parent-child relationship. In contrast to the notion that dyadic relationships are the building blocks of interpersonal units, Juni elaborates the primacy of the triangular interplay between three people, stressing that it typically features one positively engaged dyad in a collation against another family member. He uses this model to explain the vilification of the daughter-in-law or son-in-law, and the alliance of the grandparent with the grandchild against the parents. Appealing to the notion of self-propagating triangulation in all relationship clusters, the doctor uses this model to explain intra-clan warfare and conflict in extended families, within Arab tribes, and within Chasidic dynasties.
Kivelevitz extends the analysis to examine the impact of aging has on the grandparents and how they can use their family involvement as a source of validation and integrity, especially in cultures where elders are revered. Taking the perspective of Positive Psychology, especially as it dovetails with the writings of Jewish Mussar luminaries, the Rabbi challenges Prof. Juni’s deterministic perspective that truly positive alliances between family members are nonexistent myths and that all relationships must feature significant negative interpersonal strife. While the Rabbi maintains that personal grievances can be overcome and ameliorated in time through efforts at character improvement and empathy, Prof, Juni takes the position that they are never truly corrected and that they are destined to find expression in inter=generational strife and splintering within the extended family structure.
Doctor Samuel Juni is one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today.
He has published groundbreaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals, and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.
Samuel Juni studied in Yeshivas Chaim Berlin under Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as a Talmid of Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick.
Professor Juni is a prominent member of the Association of Orthodox Jewish Scientists, and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences.
Associated with NYU since 1979, Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in important research.
Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded on psychometric methodology and based on a psycho-dynamic psychopathology perspective.
He is arguably the preeminent expert in Differential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studies
entailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations.
Professor Juni created and directed NYU's Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titled Cross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments.
Based in Yerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors.

The following is a letter from Rabbi Kivelevitz .
Shalom Ubracha-
It is quite unnecessary to state here how stressful the last ten months have been. As Klal Yisroel places an immeasurable value on learning and intellectual growth, many of us have weathered this storm by entrenching ourselves deeper into our rich literary heritage, discovering insight and inspiration and using the pause of hustle bustle activity to savor new texts and articulate probing questions. The tools of teleconferencing have generated the bracha of wide attendance in Shiurim and access to the world's finest Torah teachers. Energized by these positives, I am humbly offering to partner with all of you on a venture of discovery.
Over twenty-five years ago, I listened with rapt attention as Professor Haym Soloveichick eulogized his father. He said the Rambam,Maimonides, was the Girsa DaYankusa of his father, which the prodigy grew up memorizing like nursery rhymes, with all of Mishna Torah etched in his memory and flowing easily from his lip. However,it was in that other Moshe, Nachmanides, that the elder Soloveichick discovered his intellectual approach and soul.
It can be assumed that Rav Soloveichick's flowering as the premier Talmudist of our times was built in great part by contrasting the words of each of these Medieval teachers in areas they had both worked on, or where Ramban levels his often withering criticism of Rambam's position. There are scores of examples throughout Shas,and in particular in the work Nachmanides dedicated to staking his disagreements with his Egyptian counterpart-Hasagos to the Rambam's Sefer HaMitzvos. In his classic towering Perush on Chumash,Ramban forcefully attacks many of Rambam's explanations of mitzvos and interpretations of biblical events.
In the coming weeks, we can together discover anew these diamond like gems of codification, inquiry analysis and poetic barbs that issued from these giants.....-armed with the salient texts, and buoyed by an enthusiasm to discover, I relish the prospect of learning with you.

Rabbi Francis Nataf on the Megillah-Esther's Da'as Torah (and ours)
What does the Torah expect from us when halacha does not tell us what to do? That's when da'as Torah comes in, but what does it mean and how should we use it? More importantly, how do we develop our own da'as Torah? Reading Esther's story can give us a great deal of guidance and help us understand why it is so important to prepare oneself for such situations.
Rabbi Francis Nataf is a respected educator, writer and thinker, well known for his ability to find new ways of looking at text and tradition. He is the author of the groundbreaking book on the Torah Redeeming Relevance. The Yeshiva of Newark @IDT is proud to partner with Rav Nataf to help spread his important messages to as wide an audience as possible . This episode takes on current events directly and forcefully. Rabbi Nataf illuminates the real ethical issue with Israel stepping to the front of the vaccine line. The Rabbi explains why Jews in general harbor a deep love for the whole planet, and offers a rationale for limits our people need to place on that altruism.

Standing in Two Worlds with Doctor Sam Juni -Episode 31-Blunting Judgment and Banishing Inhibition-Viewing Purim Customs in the twin lights of psychology and sociology
In anticipation of Purim, Doctor Juni and Rabbi Kivelevitz discuss various aspects of the traditional celebration. Juni comments that encouraging inebriation is dangerous on several levels,while Kivelevitz contextualizes the origin of Purim shenanigans – especially drinking with abandon to (עד דלא ידע) -- in the millennia of oppression Jews have suffered, seeing it as a type of safety valve . Abandoning the community's usual grim reality provided a relief to the relentless misery.
Juni asserts that moderate social drinking and having a "shot" after a long day is not maladaptive. He outlines the psychology and chemistry of what occurs for one who is liquored up. He presents alcohol as a chemical depressant, taking issue with scriptural references suggesting that drinking makes people happy. Giving anecdotal and clear behavior references, he describes the direct physiological effects , eg:,slowing reaction time, interfering with logical thinking, and disolving inhibition.
Kivelevitz comments that many persons seek the disinhibitory effect, since it allows them to express beliefs and emotions they otherwise stifle due to impropriety.
Juni elaborates on how having a drink can make individuals more courageous, yet cause irresponsible and reckless actions.The doctor notes how alcohol engenders manic behavior (which can be perceived as “happy”) in equal parts with dangerous aggression.
Kivelevitz gives his take on the the institution of the "Purim Rov" in Chassidic circles, who role is to roast and satirize grand leaders of the courts of the devoted.He compares this with the "Purim Shpiels" that were a staple of Yeshiva life in the last century. Both,he insists were subtle methods for airing grievances which can be addressed and corrected after the Holiday.
The pair associate general lampooning and comic displacement as a powerful social catalyst,with Juni invoking Dr. Abraham Twersky’s spot on recognition of archtypes represented by the Peanuts characters in the three volumes of self-help the late psychologist authored .
Juni wonders about the phenomenon of "Purim Torah", where scholars and students alike seemingly poke fun at the methodology of Talmudic scholarship, and suggests this reveals an underlying dissatisfaction with a process that they have devoted their lives to. Kivelevitz, however, contextualizes this as a way to lovingly embrace a system that at times can lead to absurd conclusions.
Doctor Samuel Juni is one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today.
He has published groundbreaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals, and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.

Standing in Two Worlds with Doctor Sam Juni -Episode 29- Covid-19's Collateral Damage: Aggravated Hypochondria and Fresh Phobias
Rabbi Kivelevitz cites a study published in Lancet that proves a precipitous increase of anxiety-related symptomatology during the current Covid pandemic. Doctor Juni responds to this with an exposition of dynamics of anxiety disorders, phobias, and hypochondriasis, as well as a sketch of advisable interventions.
The Professor explains what psychosomatic medicine was, and explores the chicken-egg issue of the physiology and psychology of mental illness, along with the psychiatric comorbidity of chronic medical conditions.
In general, Juni stresses the irrationality of phobias, while asserting that criteria of rationality are intrinsically socially defined by social norms rather than by unassailable reason.
As regards basic anxiety, Juni explains this as a physiological condition with clear genetic origins, not a psychological one.
Kivelevitz raises the popular psychoanalytic explanations of symbols as keys to comprehend phobias and the Jungian notions of collective unconscious determinants of specific types of fears, which Juni summarily dismisses as debunked legends holding little medical validity.
Juni expounds on his biases toward medication and behavioral conditioning to treat anxiety conditions – in contrast to insight-oriented psychotherapy.
Citing examples, such as portrayed in the Hitchcock film Marnie, where the notion of mind over emotions is portrayed as a classic triumph over mental illness, Kivelevitz indicates a quite similar stance in the writings of Rav Mordechai Leiner of Ishbitz and Rav Yisroel Salanter.
Juni while equivocating somewhat in respect to these highly regarded religious theorists, recasts the quest for a cure as dependent on emotional corrective experiences. He insists that negative emotionality cannot, unfortunately, be countered by logic or any Eureka moment of insight .

To STIR With Love-Tales from Prison -Executed in Starke-Buried in Liberty-The last Jewish Prisoner to be put to death in the United States
Deterrents and Misplaced compassion
Rabbi Yitzchak Kolakowski is the Facility Chaplaincy Program Director at the The State Correctional Institution (SCI) at Waymart, Pennsylvania. The institution is a medium security prison facility housing 1,100 inmates and a 120 bed Forensic Treatment Center, which provides inpatient psychiatric treatment in a secure setting for adult male offenders.
Kolakowski is the first Rabbi in the history of the Commonwealth to serve as head chaplain in a state prison.
Prior to his present position, he served pulpits and chaplaincy positions in Virginia and Upstate New York.
The Rabbi has emerged as a talented speaker in areas of religion, politics, spirituality, popular culture, history, and interfaith affairs. He has created an extremely popular YouTube channel with thousands of followers.
Kolakowski unashamedly recounts his personal history. While his mother was raised in a Modern Orthodox home in Queens, his father is a devout Roman Catholic. He had a bris in an Orthodox synagogue but was also baptized in a Catholic church.
His maternal grandparents encouraged him to have a bar mitzvah in their Orthodox Shul which spurred the young Kolakowski to adopt a frum lifestyle.
At eighteen, he spent a year in a Yeshiva in Yerushalayim, whose environs drew him into Hasidic practice and philosophy .
Kolakowski went on to study for and receive semichah at Yeshiva Or Kedoshim Biala in Brooklyn. He recognized the need to obtain a B.A. in psychology from Lander College for Men .Hearing the call to become a communal leader, he matriculated to Touro College for a postgraduate certificate in Advanced Rabbinics and Synagogue Management in conjunction with the National Council of Young Israel and the Young Israel Council of Rabbis.
Rabbi Kolakowski's English translation of sefer Seder HaYom by the late Biala Rebbe was published in 2006 in Israel to wide acclaim.

Rabbi Aryeh Klapper on Beshalach-The Curious Case of the Quail in the Night
Give the Slav the spotlight for once!
In a ZOOM Shiur presented by the Young Israel of Sharon, Massachusetts, Rabbi Klapper armed with incisive sources and observations suggests a number of interesting explanations for why the Torah doesn't elaborate in the slightest way concerning the Slav in the Book of Shemos, and why God did not safeguard the miraculous constant meat gift with anything like the limits or regulations surrounding the מן.

RambaN Vs.RambaM- Episode 27- The 75 percent solution-A Maimonidean Guide to proper eating
To think straight and true and abstractly demands a body in perfect health
The following is a letter from Rabbi Kivelevitz .
Shalom Ubracha-
It is quite unnecessary to state here how stressful the last ten months have been. As Klal Yisroel places an immeasurable value on learning and intellectual growth, many of us have weathered this storm by entrenching ourselves deeper into our rich literary heritage, discovering insight and inspiration and using the pause of hustle bustle activity to savor new texts and articulate probing questions. The tools of teleconferencing have generated the bracha of wide attendance in Shiurim and access to the world's finest Torah teachers. Energized by these positives, I am humbly offering to partner with all of you on a venture of discovery.
Over twenty-five years ago, I listened with rapt attention as Professor Haym Soloveichick eulogized his father. He said the Rambam,Maimonides, was the Girsa DaYankusa of his father, which the prodigy grew up memorizing like nursery rhymes, with all of Mishna Torah etched in his memory and flowing easily from his lip. However,it was in that other Moshe, Nachmanides, that the elder Soloveichick discovered his intellectual approach and soul.
It can be assumed that Rav Soloveichick's flowering as the premier Talmudist of our times was built in great part by contrasting the words of each of these Medieval teachers in areas they had both worked on, or where Ramban levels his often withering criticism of Rambam's position. There are scores of examples throughout Shas,and in particular in the work Nachmanides dedicated to staking his disagreements with his Egyptian counterpart-Hasagos to the Rambam's Sefer HaMitzvos. In his classic towering Perush on Chumash,Ramban forcefully attacks many of Rambam's explanations of mitzvos and interpretations of biblical events.
In the coming weeks, we can together discover anew these diamond like gems of codification, inquiry analysis and poetic barbs that issued from these giants.....-armed with the salient texts, and buoyed by an enthusiasm to discover, I relish the prospect of learning with you.

Standing in Two Worlds with Doctor Sam Juni-Episode 30-Truth isn't the point-Our Verbal Arguments are a Civilized form of the Caveman's Mallet
Does speech channel aggression or elevate our instincts?
There are current raging arguments in Israel about the vagaries of social distancing and the fierce post-election political debates in the USA. The common feature in all of these is a sense that the parties are yelling at each other rather than talking to each other, sharing new information, or exchanging perspectives. R. Kivelevitz structures this phenomenon as an apparent breakdown in communication, using it as a stimulus to examine the psychology and sociology of argumentation in general. Pursuing this end, Prof. Juni brings in findings and concepts from the Arab-Israeli Roundtables he chaired for a decade and from his extensive diagnostics of warring families and clans.
Dr. Juni explains the Psychology of Maladaptive Arguments by detailing the concepts of Disqualification (where adversaries focus on each other’s illegitimacy or credibility, rather than on the issues) and Punctuation (disagreements on defining the source or scope of the problem. In such conditions there is no communication, since each combatant is only interested in being heard while there is no pretense of wanting to understand the other’s perspective. Explaining the construct of Cognitive Dissonance Theory, Prof. Juni argued that adversaries often do not argue rationally because most people who adhere to a cause do so because they have been habituated to into a group with behaviors while not really understanding the logic of their beliefs at all. In this context, R. Kivelevitz engages Dr. Juni in the position of the late Chabad Rebbe that doing mitzvoth engenders the igniting of the Neshama of any Jew.
R. Kivelevitz raised the possibility of alternative narrative interpretations of a specific situation, analyzing how this may dovetail with – and how it contrasts with – the Talmudic adage of אלו ואלו דברי אלוקים חיים, bringing in interpretations from R. Samson Raphael Hirsch and Sefer Hachinuch.
R. Kivelevitz discusses the thesis of Unkeles which verbal communication as a higher level interaction quality of humans. Dr. Juni takes exception to this categorization, claiming that humans tend to use language as a civilized alternative to claiming right by fiat, while the language they use merely belies the irrational quality of their interpersonal behaviors.
Doctor Samuel Juni is one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today.
He has published groundbreaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals, and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.
Samuel Juni studied in Yeshivas Chaim Berlin under Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as a Talmid of Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick.

RambaN Vs.RambaM-Episode 29-Booking a seat at God's Table-Eating Korbonos
The following is a letter from Rabbi Kivelevitz .
Shalom Ubracha-
It is quite unnecessary to state here how stressful the last ten months have been. As Klal Yisroel places an immeasurable value on learning and intellectual growth, many of us have weathered this storm by entrenching ourselves deeper into our rich literary heritage, discovering insight and inspiration and using the pause of hustle bustle activity to savor new texts and articulate probing questions. The tools of teleconferencing have generated the bracha of wide attendance in Shiurim and access to the world's finest Torah teachers. Energized by these positives, I am humbly offering to partner with all of you on a venture of discovery.
Over twenty-five years ago, I listened with rapt attention as Professor Haym Soloveichick eulogized his father. He said the Rambam,Maimonides, was the Girsa DaYankusa of his father, which the prodigy grew up memorizing like nursery rhymes, with all of Mishna Torah etched in his memory and flowing easily from his lip. However,it was in that other Moshe, Nachmanides, that the elder Soloveichick discovered his intellectual approach and soul.
It can be assumed that Rav Soloveichick's flowering as the premier Talmudist of our times was built in great part by contrasting the words of each of these Medieval teachers in areas they had both worked on, or where Ramban levels his often withering criticism of Rambam's position. There are scores of examples throughout Shas,and in particular in the work Nachmanides dedicated to staking his disagreements with his Egyptian counterpart-Hasagos to the Rambam's Sefer HaMitzvos. In his classic towering Perush on Chumash,Ramban forcefully attacks many of Rambam's explanations of mitzvos and interpretations of biblical events.
In the coming weeks, we can together discover anew these diamond like gems of codification, inquiry analysis and poetic barbs that issued from these giants.....-armed with the salient texts, and buoyed by an enthusiasm to discover, I relish the prospect of learning with you.

Rischa D'Araisa Season 2 Episode 21-REVEL-ling in Past Possibilities--How America would have been different had Rav Shimon Shkop accepted the post of Rosh Yeshiva at RIETS in 1929
Rischa's second foray into speculative what-if scenarios begins with an elaborate set-up of the Lithuanian Yeshiva -American Monies connection of the 1920's and the major role played by visionaries like Rabbi Dov Revel.Rabbi Kivelevitz provides the salient specifics of the founding and flourishing of Yeshivas Shaar HaTorah in Grodno.Rabbi Bechhofer confirms Kivelevitz's assessment of the unique skillset and persona that combined within Rav Shimon Yehuda Shkop Zt'l that made him the perfect catalyst for growth and quantitative advancement for the motivated Ben Torah of the early 20th Century and why the administration of Yeshivas Rabbeinu Yitzchak Elchanan made him their prime candidate in succeeding the tragically departed Rav Shlomo Polyacheck,the MeitscheterIllui.While in the real world,Rav Shimon heeded the calls of the Chofetz Chaim and Rav Chaim Ozer to return to Europe, the Rischa duo sketches the arc of probabilities had he remained.Kivelevitz and Bechhofer disagree if sans Rav Moshe Soloveichick's influential role, would his son, Rav Yoseph Dov , have become the towering influential teacher and philosopher for American generations to come.Bechhofer asks Kivelevitz to complete the fantasy with an alternate landing role for the under appreciated Gaon and Scholar, Rav Zelik Epstein,who as Rav Shimon's disciple and granddaughter's husband, might have wielded a role in Yeshiva University commensurate with his predilections and vision.

Standing in Two Worlds with Doctor Sam Juni Episode 28-Food Flight:What those extra pounds we're putting on during Covid tell us about our psyche
Rabbi Kivelevitz sets the "table" by stating that the Covid Pandemic is keeping many people at home and close to their refrigerators and pantries, making them vulnerable to the enticement of comfort foods.Doctor. Juni outlines the essential features of any comforting stimuli as being linked to familiarity, availability, and a primary association with pleasant feelings. Kivelevitz speculates that in the face of mature adult-type concerns for safety, resorting to eating seems a form of regression to primitive early childhood basics. Juni deepens the idea by indicating the phenomenon as a defensive form for denial, where all issues cease to be relevant with the individual concerning themselves solely with food. The professor believes this denial mindset is the engine for refusal to comply with social distancing and masking as well Kivelevitz moves the conversation to another facet of overeating: the negative reactions from parents and family which is often coupled with “fat shaming” by peers and contemporary society. Correlating these repercussions with a parallel evisceration of self-esteem, Juni argues that these features are the subconscious goals of individuals who see themselves as failures. Beating themselves up, behaving self-destructively, and contributing to the self-demoralization, is a behavioral outcry of defeat. They aim to become the pathetic and helpless child who will elicit salvation from a parental figure of years gone by.The discussants agree that Comfort Food regression is a phenomenon which is linked to the exaggerated value that contemporary Western society places on slimness. Juni comments that in the first half of the 20thcentury, a plump (zaftig) body was an icon of physical health, economic success, and attractiveness. As such, he concludes, our valuing slimness along with the hounding and humiliation of those who do not or cannot conform to such standards, brings great harm to the mental health of those who are shunned in the process.Doctor Samuel Juniis one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today.He has published groundbreaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals, and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.Samuel Juni studied inYeshivas Chaim Berlinunder Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as aTalmidof Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick.ProfessorJuni is a prominent member of theAssociation of Orthodox Jewish Scientists, and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences.Associated with NYU since 1979,Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in important research.Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded onpsychometric methodologyand based on a psycho-dynamicpsychopathologyperspective.He is arguably the preeminent expert inDifferential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studiesentailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations.Professor Juni created and directed NYU's Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titledCross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments.Based inYerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors.Below is a partial list of the journalsto which Professor Juni has contributed over 120 articles.Many are available on lineJournal of Forensic PsychologyJournal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma.International Review of VictimologyThe Journal of Nervous and Mental DiseaseInternational Forum of PsychoanalysisJournal of Personality AssessmentJournal of Abnormal PsychologyJournal of Psychoanalytic AnthropologyPsychophysiologyPsychology and Human DevelopmentJournal of Sex ResearchJournal of Psychology and JudaismContemporary Family TherapyAmerican Journal on AddictionsJournal of Criminal PsychologyMental Health, Religion & CultureAs Rosh Beis Medrash, Rabbi Avraham Kivelevitz serves asRavandPosekfor the morningminyanat IDT.Hundreds of listeners around the globe look forward to his weeklyShiurinTshuvos and Poskim.Rav Kivelevitz is aMaggid ShiurforDirshu Internationalin Talmud and Halacha as well as a Dayan with theBeth Din of America.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

RambaN Vs.Rambam Episode 25-Palatable Taamim: The wonderfully anonymous Sefer HaChinuch
The following is a letter from Rabbi Kivelevitz .Shalom Ubracha-It is quite unnecessaryto state here how stressful the last ten months have been.AsKlal Yisroel places an immeasurable value on learning and intellectual growth, many of us have weathered this storm by entrenching ourselves deeper into our rich literary heritage, discovering insight and inspiration and using the pause of hustle bustle activity to savor new texts and articulate probing questions. The tools of teleconferencing have generated thebrachaof wide attendance inShiurimand access to the world's finest Torah teachers. Energized by these positives, I am humbly offering to partner with all of you on a venture of discovery.Over twenty-five years ago, I listenedwith rapt attention as Professor Haym Soloveichick eulogized his father. He said theRambam,Maimonides, was theGirsa DaYankusaof his father, which the prodigygrew up memorizing like nursery rhymes, with all ofMishna Torahetched in his memory and flowing easily from his lip.However,it wasin that otherMoshe, Nachmanides,that the elder Soloveichickdiscovered his intellectual approach and soul.It can be assumed that Rav Soloveichick's flowering as the premier Talmudist of our times was built in great part by contrasting the words of each of these Medieval teachers in areas they had both worked on, or whereRambanlevels his often withering criticism ofRambam's position.There are scores of examples throughout Shas,and in particular in the work Nachmanides dedicated to staking his disagreements with his Egyptian counterpart-Hasagosto theRambam'sSefer HaMitzvos.In his classic toweringPerushonChumash,Rambanforcefully attacks many ofRambam's explanations ofmitzvosand interpretations of biblical events.In the coming weeks, we can together discover anew these diamond like gems ofcodification, inquiry analysis and poetic barbsthat issued from these giants.....-armed with the salient texts, and buoyed by an enthusiasm to discover, I relish the prospect of learning with you.

Rischa D'Araisa Season 2 Episode 20-Kovetz Hasharos Udimyonos-What if Rav Elchanan Wasserman had not died a martyr's death and had escaped to America
Beginning a new What if series on Jewish topics.With a premise that significant alternate fiction is built on assiduous research and knowledge of the persons and milieu, Rabbi Kivelevitz states that he and Rabbi Bechhofer have to be steeped somewhat in the ideas and personage under discussion. As both of them as teen agers, were exposed to the Torah of Rav Elchanan Wasserman, his hashkofos, and martyr's death ,the speculation as to how America would have been different had he remained here from 1938 onwards seemed a project they could tackle.Bechhofer claims that due to his hardline views as evidenced by his not allowing students to accept visas in 1939 offered by Yeshiva University and H.T.C.,and the harsh rhetoric of the Ikvasa Demeshicha, and his forceful personality he would have constricted the scope of Yeshiva life, and attacked aggressively institutions that would have allowed bochurim to attend college.Kivelevitz describes Rav Elchanan as the prime figure to crystallize the modern concept of Daas Torah,as is apparent in the famous letter of Rav Eliyahu Dessler.As he could claim to be the historical extender of Rav Chaim Brisker in learning,the Chofetz Chaim in Torah Hashkapha and Rav Chaim Ozer in communal leadership,figures such as Rav Aharon Kotler,Rav Moshe Feinstein and Rav Eliezer Silver would have been rendered less consequential by the alternate reality Rav Elchanan.While Bechhofer might be correct that Rav Elchanan seemed to be one that would ban any unnecessary use of English in Yeshivos, Kivelevitz reveals that the great Rosh Yeshiva actually was proficient in a few languages and kept abreast of scientific advancements of the day.The Rabbis discuss which work of Rav Elchanan can be considered his most important, Bechhofer believes that the Maamar Al HaEmunah has been the most influential, while Kivelevitz quoting Rav Moshe Heinemann,lists the Kovetz Haoros as demonstrating brilliance, the Divrei Sofrim showcases a Rosh Yeshiva treading into unusual territory that plumbed the nature of fealty to Rabbinic law.

Standing in Two Worlds with Doctor Sam Juni -Episode 27 -Mob Mentality-Dressing to Kill
Sobered by the attack on the Capitol January 6th, Kivelevitz and Juni deem it important to examine individual behavior when tethered to an extremist group.Moving beyond the Trumpist yahoos, Kivelevitz invokes situations as varied as Woodstock, early 20th century lynchings, the George Floyd protests, Messianic Cult tragedies, Nazi Germany demonstrations, and the not always benign manifestations of what occurs yearly in Uman. Juni explains that mob mentality is essentially a negation of personal identity along with any personal values or judgment in favor of a grotesque form of amalgamation. The doctor underscores that such behavior occurs primarily in groups which have a single forceful leader. Kivelevitz claims the costuming of the protestors at the Capitol riots is comparable with the camouflage combat gear of elite special forces,and the hoods and robes of the Klan. The rabbi suggests that such costumes facilitate a “splitting of personality” as they allow the protestors to disavow their real selves. Referring to his T-Group work with minorities, Juni refers to Jungian Psychoanalytic Theory, as elaborated by Harvard Professor Phillip Slater, regarding collective consciousness in group psychology as a kind of bee colony in emergency mode. Recognizing the powerful psychological transformative dynamics of mobs, Kivelevitz questions whether individuals should be held fully culpable and responsible for their actions in such events.While dodging the merits of punishment, Juni agrees that almost anyone, regardless of their personal values and moral integrity, is prone to get carried away in mob hysteria in certain circumstances, citing more benign anecdotal examples from less extreme “normal” group effects.Doctor Samuel Juniis one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today.He has published groundbreaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals, and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.Samuel Juni studied inYeshivas Chaim Berlinunder Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as aTalmidof Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick.ProfessorJuni is a prominent member of theAssociation of Orthodox Jewish Scientists, and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences.Associated with NYU since 1979,Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in important research.Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded onpsychometric methodologyand based on a psycho-dynamicpsychopathologyperspective.He is arguably the preeminent expert inDifferential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studiesentailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations.Professor Juni created and directed NYU's Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titledCross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments.Based inYerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors.Below is a partial list of the journalsto which Professor Juni has contributed over 120 articles.Many are available on lineJournal of Forensic PsychologyJournal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma.International Review of VictimologyThe Journal of Nervous and Mental DiseaseInternational Forum of PsychoanalysisJournal of Personality AssessmentJournal of Abnormal PsychologyJournal of Psychoanalytic AnthropologyPsychophysiologyPsychology and Human DevelopmentJournal of Sex ResearchJournal of Psychology and JudaismContemporary Family TherapyAmerican Journal on AddictionsJournal of Criminal PsychologyMental Health, Religion & CultureAs Rosh Beis Medrash, Rabbi Avraham Kivelevitz serves asRavandPosekfor the morningminyanat IDT.Hundreds of listeners around the globe look forward to his weeklyShiurinTshuvos and Poskim.Rav Kivelevitz is aMaggid ShiurforDirshu Internationalin Talmud and Halacha as well as a Dayan with theBeth Din of America.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rischa D'Araisa Season 2 Episode 19-Facing up to the Insurrection Facts -Perspectives of First Lady Bechhofer : Humble Condemnations paired with a Reckoning of conscience and fearing the dangerous lie
The program begins with a short tribute to Rav Yehudah Kelemer Zt"l,who passed away Erev Shabbas,with Rabbi Bechhofer highlighting his unmatched humility and middos and dedication to kiruv which obscured the niftar's greatness in lomdus and Halacha.Rabbi Kivelevitz notes how Rav Kelemer's psakim and example led to the acceptance and respect for many heretofore marginalized members of Jewish society.Based on her cogent statements on the attack on the Capitol, Bechhofer and Kivelevitz invite Rebbitzen Shani Bechhofer to comment on the misinformation and controversy surrounding the events on January 6th in Washington.The three discussants share their thoughts as to whether the statements of disapproval and condemnation issued by Orthodox Rabbinical Organizations have gone far enough in demarking what should be our stand and public face. Kivelevitz claims that while glaringly obvious, the President should have been singled out by name.Rebbetzin Bechhofer argues forcefully that Trump's remaining in office is a disgrace and could lead to more dangerous incidents and unethical political shenanigans.She fears that an impeachment process ,however, would cloud the real investigation that needs to happen and jarringly polarize the two parties in a way that strongly impedes further progress.The Bechhofers are asked about the charges made by many that the rioters were treated with undue restraint that would never been afforded a BLM mob.Kivelevitz further asks the couple to comment on the point made by some in the Orthodox community and beyond ,that last summers riots were not condemned by all parties or aggressively dealt with, despite the great property loss and violence that was caused by the protesters.

On Principle -27-Challenges in Jewish Education with Rabbi Jon Kroll- Piercing the Shadows of the Trump Insurrection :Teaching and Talking to our young adults after the attack on the Capitol
In light of the unprecedented attack on the Capitol by the Trump-incited mob, Rabbi Kivelevitz asks the renowned educator and Principal ofSAR High SchoolRabbi Jonathan Kroll how the staff and students responded, and what can be a path going forward in teaching about this moment of crisis.Kroll recounts that Washington's 1783 letter from Newbergh has been invoked and read"I now make it my earnest prayer that God would have you, and the State over which you preside, in his holy protection; that he would incline the hearts of the citizens to cultivate a spirit of subordination and obedience to government, to entertain a brotherly affection and love for one another, for their fellow-citizens of the United States at large, and particularly for brethren who have served in the field; and finally that he would most graciously be pleased to dispose us all to do justice, to love mercy, and to demean ourselves with that charity, humility, and pacific temper of mind, which were the characteristics of the Divine Author of our blessed religion, and without an humble imitation of whose example in these things, we can never hope to be a happy nation."

Standing in Two Worlds with Doctor Sam Juni -Episode 26-Left in our own devices-Mental Health might depend on restricting use of virtual media
Smart-phone addiction, time wallowing video games, trolling in chatrooms, obsessive twitter checking, these are all part of the new normal.Doctor Juni reminds us that the toll on personality, relationships, and mental health has been significant. Rabbi Kivelevitz responds that electronic devices and platforms have been lifelines to many during the Covid Pandemic. The discussants then begin an examination of key aspects of the connection between immersion in electronic communication devices and problematic mental health. Kivelevitz notes that gadgets have fostered psychological alienation by eliminating direct human conversation and interactions. Juni stresses that the devices also enable many to communicate and form relationships which they were developmentally or psychologically unable to do in a direct mode. Repeating complaints that have been voiced by many social commentators, the co-hosts illustrate how cyber gadgets have usurped thoughtful human pastimes (such as real discussions or reading a book),and by forcing persons to be constantly "on" these electronic appendages have eliminated opportunities for actual self-reflection.The Doctor and the Rabbi underscore how these media have served as equalizers of all "friendships" to a shallow common denominator. A healthy converse of this lamentable situation, where disconnect provides growth of character, is highlighted, Kivelevitz asserts, in the arc of development trod by the Tom Hanks protagonist in Robert Zemeckis' Cast Away .Kivelevitz further points out that Israel has the world's highest per-capita cell phone use, suggesting that this phenomenon is a cause of severe problems in the Jewish world. The addiction to virtual connectivity has spawned particular problems for the traditional way of observing Shabbas. Kivelevitz recounts the ubiquitous texting that goes on among youngsters who consider themselves Modern- Orthodox, with Juni confirming that this has spread into the Haredi and Chasidic worlds. The Doctor states that refraining from using their phones on Shabbas is close to impossible for many youngsters and adults in our communities. Kivelevitz wonders whether some Halachic accommodation may be vital to keep many self-identified religiously observant people in the fold, likening such accommodations to those allowing the Orthodox to walk the streets on Shabbas despite the triggering of surveillance cameras, and encouraging the constructions of Eruvin in major metropolitan areas which enable families to leave their homes, despite the severity of laws violated whichan unprejudiced reading of the sources would yield.Both agree that “there is no going back from here", just as sociologists assure us that distanced relationships will stay the norm even after the Covid pandemic eases. Doctor Samuel Juniis one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today.He has published groundbreaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals, and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.Samuel Juni studied inYeshivas Chaim Berlinunder Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as aTalmidof Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick.ProfessorJuni is a prominent member of theAssociation of Orthodox Jewish Scientists, and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences.Associated with NYU since 1979,Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in important research.Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded onpsychometric methodologyand based on a psycho-dynamicpsychopathologyperspective.He is arguably the preeminent expert inDifferential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studiesentailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations.Professor Juni created and directed NYU's Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titledCross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments.Based inYerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors.Below is a partial list of the journalsto which Professor Juni has contributed over 120 articles.Many are available on lineJournal of Forensic PsychologyJournal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma.International Review of VictimologyThe Journal of Nervous and Mental DiseaseInternational Forum of PsychoanalysisJournal of Personality AssessmentJournal of Abnormal PsychologyJournal of Psychoanalytic AnthropologyPsychophysiologyPsychology and Human DevelopmentJournal of Sex ResearchJournal of Psychology and JudaismContemporary Family TherapyAmerican Journal on AddictionsJournal of Criminal PsychologyMental Health, Religion & CultureAs Rosh Beis Medrash, Rabbi Avraham Kivelevitz serves asRavandPosekfor the morningminyanat IDT.Hundreds of listeners around the globe look forward to his weeklyShiurinTshuvos and Poskim.Rav Kivelevitz is aMaggid ShiurforDirshu Internationalin Talmud and Halacha as well as a Dayan with theBeth Din of America.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The following is a letter from Rabbi Kivelevitz .Shalom Ubracha-It is quite unnecessaryto state here how stressful the last ten months have been.AsKlal Yisroel places an immeasurable value on learning and intellectual growth, many of us have weathered this storm by entrenching ourselves deeper into our rich literary heritage, discovering insight and inspiration and using the pause of hustle bustle activity to savor new texts and articulate probing questions. The tools of teleconferencing have generated thebrachaof wide attendance inShiurimand access to the world's finest Torah teachers. Energized by these positives, I am humbly offering to partner with all of you on a venture of discovery.Over twenty-five years ago, I listenedwith rapt attention as Professor Haym Soloveichick eulogized his father. He said theRambam,Maimonides, was theGirsa DaYankusaof his father, which the prodigygrew up memorizing like nursery rhymes, with all ofMishna Torahetched in his memory and flowing easily from his lip.However,it wasin that otherMoshe, Nachmanides,that the elder Soloveichickdiscovered his intellectual approach and soul.It can be assumed that Rav Soloveichick's flowering as the premier Talmudist of our times was built in great part by contrasting the words of each of these Medieval teachers in areas they had both worked on, or whereRambanlevels his often withering criticism ofRambam's position.There are scores of examples throughout Shas,and in particular in the work Nachmanides dedicated to staking his disagreements with his Egyptian counterpart-Hasagosto theRambam'sSefer HaMitzvos.In his classic toweringPerushonChumash,Rambanforcefully attacks many ofRambam's explanations ofmitzvosand interpretations of biblical events.In the coming weeks, we can together discover anew these diamond like gems ofcodification, inquiry analysis and poetic barbsthat issued from these giants.....-armed with the salient texts, and buoyed by an enthusiasm to discover, I relish the prospect of learning with you.

Rischa D'Araisa Season 2-Episode 18- Contemplating and Relishing Alternate Realities: President Trump-Rav Avigdor Miller Zt"l-Feinstein Family Fantasies
The forty-five minute episode deals with three interrelated subjects.The Rabbis begin the program debating whether it is correct to equate the wild charges of voter fraud and claim of a stolen election by the President's staunch supporters with the four years of declaring Trump's victory illegitimate by the Democrats and the media. Bechhofer rejects the inexact comparison which if repeated enough, obfuscate the terrible management of the country under Trump's helm.Kivelevitz pressures Bechhofer to admit to achievements wrought by the administration in relations with the State of Israel and the advancements of peace in the region. He also gets his co-hosts agreement that the three Supreme Court justices nominated by Trump will act as a barrier from the encroachments on religious liberty that the zeitgeist is demanding.The episode then segues into a critique of the published response of Rav Avigdor Miller Zt"l as to why God is referred to in exclusively masculine terms. The late Rabbi's words reiterate tropes about women's roles in society that are distressing for the modern ear.Bechhofer offers a more palatable theological answer that aligns with a mystic ,yet non-misogynistic point of reference, while Kivelevitz makes the 21st century(2021) case specifically for women heads of state and female police officers.The program concludes with a response to a listener of last week's entry, where it was implied that the Torah landscape would have been considerably altered had Rav Nota Greenblatt become the son-in-law of Rav Moshe Feinstein Zt"l. Kivelevitz describes an intriguing counter-scenario to what was by inserting the x-factor of the Gadol from Memphis. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Standing in Two Worlds with Doctor Sam Juni -Episode 25- Driving Yourself Crazy-How our Cars transform us
Rabbi Kivelevitz begins the episode by noting that the mentality of many drivers is inconsistent with their normal behavior, citing in particular that road rage is often triggered in people who are not usually aggressive and that drivers – and particularly Israeli drivers --often engage in overly risky behaviors. Professor Juni responds by delineating the psychological profile of such a driver as an anonymous individual who becomes transformed into a dehumanized extension of the vehicle, as s/he regressed to a competitive primitive survivalist existence.Commenting on the outrageous driving behavior of some Israelis, Juni explains this as deriving from the “living on the edge” stance which is so much part of the army experience, and – to some extent – the sense of emergency felt by Israelis in general due to perceived constant existential threat. He further remarks, that when distanced from oneself in an anonymous depersonalized role, the Israeli driver is predisposed to a state of keen competitiveness where the aim of “winning” becomes paramount, resulting in total abandonment of social mores, human values of decency, and the rational assessment of danger.Doctor Samuel Juniis one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today.He has published groundbreaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals, and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.Samuel Juni studied inYeshivas Chaim Berlinunder Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as aTalmidof Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick.ProfessorJuni is a prominent member of theAssociation of Orthodox Jewish Scientists, and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences.Associated with NYU since 1979,Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in important research.Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded onpsychometric methodologyand based on a psycho-dynamicpsychopathologyperspective.He is arguably the preeminent expert inDifferential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studiesentailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations.Professor Juni created and directed NYU's Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titledCross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments.Based inYerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors.Below is a partial list of the journalsto which Professor Juni has contributed over 120 articles.Many are available on lineJournal of Forensic PsychologyJournal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma.International Review of VictimologyThe Journal of Nervous and Mental DiseaseInternational Forum of PsychoanalysisJournal of Personality AssessmentJournal of Abnormal PsychologyJournal of Psychoanalytic AnthropologyPsychophysiologyPsychology and Human DevelopmentJournal of Sex ResearchJournal of Psychology and JudaismContemporary Family TherapyAmerican Journal on AddictionsJournal of Criminal PsychologyMental Health, Religion & CultureAs Rosh Beis Medrash, Rabbi Avraham Kivelevitz serves asRavandPosekfor the morningminyanat IDT.Hundreds of listeners around the globe look forward to his weeklyShiurinTshuvos and Poskim.Rav Kivelevitz is aMaggid ShiurforDirshu Internationalin Talmud and Halacha as well as a Dayan with theBeth Din of America.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

RambaN Vs RambaM -Episode 22- The Ultimate Foundations that Rabbinical Decrees are built on
AShiurthat mines ancient texts for illuminating new understanding and relevance!The following is a letter from Rabbi Kivelevitz .Shalom Ubracha-It is quite unnecessaryto state here how stressful the last few months have been.AsKlal Yisroel places an immeasurable value on learning and intellectual growth, many of us have weathered this storm by entrenching ourselves deeper into our rich literary heritage, discovering insight and inspiration and using the pause of hustle bustle activity to savor new texts and articulate probing questions. The tools of teleconferencing have generated thebrachaof wide attendance inShiurimand access to the world's finest Torah teachers. Energized by these positives, I am humbly offering to partner with all of you on a venture of discovery.Over twenty-five years ago, I listenedwith rapt attention as Professor Haym Soloveichick eulogized his father. He said theRambam,Maimonides, was theGirsa DaYankusaof his father, which the prodigygrew up memorizing like nursery rhymes, with all ofMishna Torahetched in his memory and flowing easily from his lip.However,it wasin that otherMoshe, Nachmanides,that the elder Soloveichickdiscovered his intellectual approach and soul.It can be assumed that Rav Soloveichick's flowering as the premier Talmudist of our times was built in great part by contrasting the words of each of these Medieval teachers in areas they had both worked on, or whereRambanlevels his often withering criticism ofRambam's position.There are scores of examples throughout Shas,and in particular in the work Nachmanides dedicated to staking his disagreements with his Egyptian counterpart-Hasagosto theRambam'sSefer HaMitzvos.In his classic toweringPerushonChumash,Rambanforcefully attacks many ofRambam's explanations ofmitzvosand interpretations of biblical events.In the coming weeks, we can together discover anew these diamond like gems ofcodification, inquiry analysis and poetic barbsthat issued from these giants.....-armed with the salient texts, and buoyed by an enthusiasm to discover, I relish the prospect of learning with you.

Standing in Two Worlds with Doctor Sam Juni-Episode 24-Yiddishkeit during Yuletide- Living as a Minority with a Majority Culture
Rabbi Kivelevitz and Professor Juni begin by recounting their respective experiences growing up in predominantly Christian neighborhoods. Both recall being enamored by the holiday spirit of goodwill and a sense of people attempting to overcome their negative tendencies. Kivelevitz recalls being enthralled by the holiday season music, decorations, and neighbors’ family get-togethers. In the same vein, Juni recalls his guilt appreciating the beauty of the choral music, and his awe of holiday services heard from the open church doors in the slum where he grew up. During this season, he observed the transformation of threatening personages into respectable-looking worshippers, as he discovered that Christians had a genuine belief in God. He gained respect for the dominant religion which -- as he matured and entered the secular world as a student -- morphed into a stance of respecting religiosity as an attitude regardless of particular beliefs or behavior codes.Kivelevitz notes efforts by some to de-religionize the Holiday spirit as less Christian and more human-secularist in tone. These efforts have been ascribed to a pernicious Jewish plot to destroy religionin some right wing propaganda. Kivelevitz citesthe wording of a sign on his neighbor’s lawn: Put Christ Back into Christmas.The concept of “Nittel Eve” (designating key nights of the holiday season) is discussed. On these evenings, some Jewish sub-groups minimize good deeds and religious rituals, with the rationale that spiritual benefits may be usurped by supernatural Christian forces. Juni views that stance as consistent with the belief in evil or dark forces he was raised with – such as the devil or Satan – which are actual negative counterparts to a positive deity.The Doctor expounds on a psychosocial maxim that minorities necessarily feel inferior to members of the host culture – especially in oppressive and subjugating contexts. He extends the principle to argue that Diaspora Jews therefore also feel that Judaism is lacking in some respects compared the religion of the greater culture.Kivelevitz feels that this negativity toward one’s own religion is heightened by efforts of Diaspora Jews to assimilate economically and socially into the host culture, despite their avowed fealty to their own heritage.The discussant grappling with the options Diaspora Jews have in view of their a priori feelings of inferiority to a non-Jewish host religious culture -- other than making Aliya. They recognize efforts by some to adjust Judaism so that it is less distinct from, and more in line with, a non-specific inclusionary religious template. This is contrasted with the opposite solution to self-isolate (e.g. Monroe and other Haredi colonies in New York and elsewhere). Asserting that both such efforts are destined to ultimately fail, Juni argues that marked negative effects can be mitigated by recognizing social realities straightforwardly.

RambaN Vs RambaM-Episode 21-Four Moshes and a Holiday
AShiurthat mines ancient texts for illuminating new understanding and relevance!The following is a letter from Rabbi Kivelevitz .Shalom Ubracha-It is quite unnecessaryto state here how stressful the last few months have been.AsKlal Yisroel places an immeasurable value on learning and intellectual growth, many of us have weathered this storm by entrenching ourselves deeper into our rich literary heritage, discovering insight and inspiration and using the pause of hustle bustle activity to savor new texts and articulate probing questions. The tools of teleconferencing have generated thebrachaof wide attendance inShiurimand access to the world's finest Torah teachers. Energized by these positives, I am humbly offering to partner with all of you on a venture of discovery.Over twenty-five years ago, I listenedwith rapt attention as Professor Haym Soloveichick eulogized his father. He said theRambam,Maimonides, was theGirsa DaYankusaof his father, which the prodigygrew up memorizing like nursery rhymes, with all ofMishna Torahetched in his memory and flowing easily from his lip.However,it wasin that otherMoshe, Nachmanides,that the elder Soloveichickdiscovered his intellectual approach and soul.It can be assumed that Rav Soloveichick's flowering as the premier Talmudist of our times was built in great part by contrasting the words of each of these Medieval teachers in areas they had both worked on, or whereRambanlevels his often withering criticism ofRambam's position.There are scores of examples throughout Shas,and in particular in the work Nachmanides dedicated to staking his disagreements with his Egyptian counterpart-Hasagosto theRambam'sSefer HaMitzvos.In his classic toweringPerushonChumash,Rambanforcefully attacks many ofRambam's explanations ofmitzvosand interpretations of biblical events.In the coming weeks, we can together discover anew these diamond like gems ofcodification, inquiry analysis and poetic barbsthat issued from these giants.....-armed with the salient texts, and buoyed by an enthusiasm to discover, I relish the prospect of learning with you.

Rischa D'Araisa-Season 2-Episode 16: Is the principle of Daas Torah an alien concept that has taken root with destructive results?
Rabbi Bechhofer finds support for his previously stated opinion on unquestioning reliance on Gedolim(specifically Rav Chaim Kanievsky Shlita) in a maamar from Rav Mayer Twersky.In the article,Twersky delineates two archetypes of great Torah personalities, one ,while steeped in Shas and Poskim, remains keenly sensitive to the nuances of society while the other in his quest for holiness has become out of sync with the real contours of the mundane world and its halachic needs priorities.He underscores the damage that can result when the latter is called on to give direction on matters beyond pure Issur and Heter and the intense difficulty of backpedaling once the decree has been issued.Twersky also rails against the concept of Daas Torah, claiming it was an idea not accepted in pre-war Europe, and bemoans the primacy it has assumed in the Yeshiva world.Rabbi Kivelevitz asks Bechhofer if Twersky's critique lands with much force in the communities of North America,where a Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah is charged with issuing measured directives with input from each member of the presidium.The pair discuss whether Daas Torah fealty differs greatly with unwavering belief in the Admorim of Chasidim.As an example of how the by product of a decidedly non-Halachic,secular event can be glorified transformed and memorialized into a fervent religious day of praise and worship, Kivelevitz points to the newest Chabad "Holiday", the 5th of Teves ,and speculates that in a different time, the spectacle of having to take an einekel to court and expose the deep sibling rifts in Rav Yosef Yitzchack Schneerson's children would have been quietly endured.

Rischa D'Araisa-Season 2-Episode 15-Generating Controversy: Should we celebrate Rav Chaim Kaniyevski's fight for installing outdoor generators in every Charedi community for Shabbas use
The Charedi Alon Divrei Siach dedicated six pages of a recent edition glorifying Rav Chaim Kaniyevski's campaign for generators producing Kosher electricity for Shabbas.(It should be noted that the consensus of poskim is to allow use of the municipal electric power.)Rabbi Bechhofer's Shabbas guest ,Rabbi David Hodja was irked by the lack of concern for Nizkei schechenim.Bechhofer's reserach revealed that indeed a number of civil lawsuits have been filed against Charedi builders,which have resulted in rulings on behalf of the plaintiffs.When pressed by Kivelevitz to explain how Rav Chaim, could be oblivious to these concerns, Bechhofer described the revered sage as someone whose conception of real world problems is skewed.Rabbi Bechhofer argues on one hand that Rav Chaim should not be considered a true Posek, then alternatively suggests that elements of Rav Chaim's directives more in line with derech eretz might have been intentionally omitted in every published recounting of the Sar HaTorah's opinion.Either way, Bechhofer accuses many of the self proclaimed followers of Eretz Yisroel's leading Charedi Gadol, of base hypocrisy and triumphalism clothed as pure kanaus.Kivelevitz tends to believe that the severity of the noise level might be overstated, especially in a country that is regularly overrun by various sounds of commotion.He further extolls the noble elements of a Charedi life that are on full display in those neighborhoods, which despite the cacophony, are a blessed contrast to the secular and Christian noise that needs to be endured in many major metropolitan areas in the Northeast United States.

Standing in Two Worlds with Doctor Sam Juni -Episode 23-Chanukah: Unsheathing the Aggressive Persona- Normalcy vs Pathology
Rabbi Kivelevitz grounds the discussion by pointing out that Chanukah celebrates the triumph of Jewish aggression and violence perpetrated by the Kohanim (Temple priests) whose function was traditionally peaceful, scholarly, and spiritual, and highlights that the Hasmonean dynasty was subsequently plagued by internecine enmity and bloodshed which led to the destruction of the Judaic kingdom. Kivelevitz conjectures that this was the result of the release of overt aggression from the Pandora’s Box where Jewish society had kept it sealed. Professor Juni begins his presentation of aggression by stating that it is a basic inborn human trait rather than merely being reactive to perceived threat. He argues that aggression – like sexuality -- is positive and functional, and is thus best dealt with by sublimation and redirection into socially enhancing alternatives, rather than being seen as a negative phenomenon which needs to be stamped out early in life. Kivelevitz cites Talmudic references about certain societally-necessary vocations being outlets for innate hostile tendencies, linking them to the modern roles of police officers. The Rabbi decries contemporary misguided pacifist efforts, such as defunding the police, as potentially destructive to society given pervasive aggressive elements in all of us. Aggression, as Dr. Juni sees it, yields psychopathy only when it finds expression in unbridled interpersonal enmity yielding an antisocial personality. Kivelevitz sees the Maccabean spirit embodied in modern Israel, as he sums up the discussion by his take-away lesson from Chanukah as the necessity of balancing the judicious use of aggression in the service of bettering society and enhancing the quality of life and religious freedom.Doctor Samuel Juniis one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today.He has published groundbreaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals, and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.Samuel Juni studied inYeshivas Chaim Berlinunder Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as aTalmidof Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick.ProfessorJuni is a prominent member of theAssociation of Orthodox Jewish Scientists, and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences.Associated with NYU since 1979,Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in important research.Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded onpsychometric methodologyand based on a psycho-dynamicpsychopathologyperspective.He is arguably the preeminent expert inDifferential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studiesentailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations.Professor Juni created and directed NYU's Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titledCross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments.Based inYerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors.Below is a partial list of the journalsto which Professor Juni has contributed over 120 articles.Many are available on lineJournal of Forensic PsychologyJournal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma.International Review of VictimologyThe Journal of Nervous and Mental DiseaseInternational Forum of PsychoanalysisJournal of Personality AssessmentJournal of Abnormal PsychologyJournal of Psychoanalytic AnthropologyPsychophysiologyPsychology and Human DevelopmentJournal of Sex ResearchJournal of Psychology and JudaismContemporary Family TherapyAmerican Journal on AddictionsJournal of Criminal PsychologyMental Health, Religion & CultureAs Rosh Beis Medrash, Rabbi Avraham Kivelevitz serves asRavandPosekfor the morningminyanat IDT.Hundreds of listeners around the globe look forward to his weeklyShiurinTshuvos and Poskim.Rav Kivelevitz is aMaggid ShiurforDirshu Internationalin Talmud and Halacha as well as a Dayan with theBeth Din of America.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Standing in Two Worlds with Doctor Sam Juni -Episode 22 -The slippery slope of Secular Humanism
Rabbi Kivelevitz begins the podcast by noting recent social events where contemporary notions of human rights are given precedence to traditional ideas of religious freedom. He particularly points to such causes as climate change and environmental consciousness as values which gained high visibility. Prof. Juni then addresses the religious, psychological, and psychiatric notions of morality and values. He points out that many modern thinkers have promoted the notion that science can be the basis for human values, in contrast to Locke and other philosophers whose notions of human rights were based on divine revelation (as incorporated into the U.S. Constitution). He also notes that psychiatry definitely views individuals who do not have a sense of right and wrong as defective. At the same time, Prof. Juni notes that even the psychiatric diagnostic formulation of psychopathy has been seen by some critics (notably Thomas Szasz) as reflecting political social enforcement tools rather than being medically based as such. Kivelevitz responds by discussing morality under the philosophical notion of natural law. He points out that the biblical stories of Cain and Abel and Sodom/Gomorrah hinge on values before they were codified in the Torah. He also cites underlying themes of morality throughout the Torah (particularly in citations from Isaiah) which are not linked to specific commandments, arguing that right and wrong have historically been viewed as intrinsic human notions. Juxtaposing that with the elevation of environmentalism (being green) to the more traditional moral values, Juni and Kivelevitz grapple with the chicken-egg problem --whether intuitive notions of right and wrong proceeded codified religious/social mandates versus the converse. Dr. Juni notes that notions of “should” or “ought” originate developmentally from parental injunctions which are then internalized, eventually becoming autonomous concepts which no longer link to external reinforcers.Outlining the perspective of the Rishonim (middle age Talmudic authorities of the first half of the 11thto 12thCentury) on the nature of morality, Kivelevitz argues that Western intelligentsia essentially hijack religious imperatives as they formulate universal values (such as democracy) bereft of their religious sources. He cites the contemporary prevalence of politico-social enforcers (exemplified by Cancel-Culture and PETA shaming strategies) as deplorable means of inculcating positive values. Doctor Samuel Juniis one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today.He has published groundbreaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals, and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.Samuel Juni studied inYeshivas Chaim Berlinunder Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as aTalmidof Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick.ProfessorJuni is a prominent member of theAssociation of Orthodox Jewish Scientists, and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences.Associated with NYU since 1979,Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in important research.Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded onpsychometric methodologyand based on a psycho-dynamicpsychopathologyperspective.He is arguably the preeminent expert inDifferential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studiesentailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations.Professor Juni created and directed NYU's Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titledCross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments.Based inYerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors.Below is a partial list of the journalsto which Professor Juni has contributed over 120 articles.Many are available on lineJournal of Forensic PsychologyJournal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma.International Review of VictimologyThe Journal of Nervous and Mental DiseaseInternational Forum of PsychoanalysisJournal of Personality AssessmentJournal of Abnormal PsychologyJournal of Psychoanalytic AnthropologyPsychophysiologyPsychology and Human DevelopmentJournal of Sex ResearchJournal of Psychology and JudaismContemporary Family TherapyAmerican Journal on AddictionsJournal of Criminal PsychologyMental Health, Religion & CultureAs Rosh Beis Medrash, Rabbi Avraham Kivelevitz serves asRavandPosekfor the morningminyanat IDT.Hundreds of listeners around the globe look forward to his weeklyShiurinTshuvos and Poskim.Rav Kivelevitz is aMaggid ShiurforDirshu Internationalin Talmud and Halacha as well as a Dayan with theBeth Din of America.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rischa D'Araisa-Season 2 Episode 14-Reversing Footsteps-Reaching those who have left Charedi life
Moved by an article in the New Yorker that sketches the travails and anguish of formerly Chasidic persons who have left frumkeit, Rabbi Kivelevitz asks Rabbi Bechhofer if there is a method to reach these persons before organizations like Footsteps push them beyond a point of no return to any semblance of practicing religious behavior.Bechhofer indicates the fine work being done by a Jew in the City,but is pessimistic of ever seeing a strong success rate due to the milieu that fostered the disenchantment to begin with, and the skeptical attitude of many Chasidic parents towards the outreach professionals.Kivelevitz counters with a description of the work done in the past by the Yeshiva of Newark.Bechhofer believes that there is no great wave occurring and is more disturbed by the continuous anti-Orthodox media coverage which has only intensified during the Pandemic.Kivelevitz offers an approach that banks on an optimistic hope that positively crafted interesting articles submitted to secular magazines and more programs like Shtissel can stem the negative barrage.

Standing in Two Worlds with Doctor Sam Juni Episode 21-Cowered by the Command : Be fruitful-The conundrum faced by a couple with fertility issues-Extreme medical intervention or adoption
Inspired by Tamara Jenkins’s critically acclaimed Private Life, detailing a husband and wife's struggles to have a child, Doctor Juni sets forth some steep psychological challenges that threaten any happy resolution to many Orthodox couples faced with the same quandary confronting the fictional characters in the film.Rabbi Kivelevitz points out that adoption was originally restricted to orphans and viewed solely as an act of kindness to abandoned children. The discussants outline the religious, cultural, and psychological aspects of the Fertility Anguish Syndrome.Kivelevitz eloquently depicts the prevalent pain of childlessness which he sees as a potential threat to the self-concept of some couples as it mitigates marital viability. This is especially true in cultures where childrearing is the cardinal purpose of marriage. This, in addition to the positive value children have on the richness of the marital relationship proper.On the flip side, Prof. Juni elaborates on the pernicious effects of mandates on any human endeavor. They are in agreement, however, that resentment will prove inevitable in reaction to the traumas often connected to IVF and adoption procedures, and will burst to the surface with negative repercussions.Prof. Juni is emphatic that there is always an underlying feeling of resentment on the part of adopted children. Arguing that children are best off if they never become aware of their adoption, Dr. Juni acknowledges that Halachic guidelines preempt this possibility in religiously observant families – particularly when adopting a non-Jewish child.From the Rabbinic perspective,. Kivelevitz shares details of the keen sensitivity to personal issues by the contemporary Rabbinate and outlines Halachic innovations in the IVF and adoption arenas. He also shares his experiences in the Modern Orthodox community, where he finds no evident prejudice toward adopted children who bear tell-tale signs of hailing from non-Jewish heritages.The episode stresses the value of couples having their eyes wide open before considering a response to childlessness . Kivelevitz promotes the option of coming to terms with the reality of infertility and considering adoptive or other options, while Juni stresses the need for preemptive counseling to anticipate the negative effects inherent in any steps they may consider.Doctor Samuel Juniis one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today.He has published groundbreaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals, and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.Samuel Juni studied inYeshivas Chaim Berlinunder Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as aTalmidof Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick.ProfessorJuni is a prominent member of theAssociation of Orthodox Jewish Scientists, and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences.Associated with NYU since 1979,Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in important research.Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded onpsychometric methodologyand based on a psycho-dynamicpsychopathologyperspective.He is arguably the preeminent expert inDifferential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studiesentailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations.Professor Juni created and directed NYU's Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titledCross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments.Based inYerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors.Below is a partial list of the journalsto which Professor Juni has contributed over 120 articles.Many are available on lineJournal of Forensic PsychologyJournal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma.International Review of VictimologyThe Journal of Nervous and Mental DiseaseInternational Forum of PsychoanalysisJournal of Personality AssessmentJournal of Abnormal PsychologyJournal of Psychoanalytic AnthropologyPsychophysiologyPsychology and Human DevelopmentJournal of Sex ResearchJournal of Psychology and JudaismContemporary Family TherapyAmerican Journal on AddictionsJournal of Criminal PsychologyMental Health, Religion & CultureAs Rosh Beis Medrash, Rabbi Avraham Kivelevitz serves asRavandPosekfor the morningminyanat IDT.Hundreds of listeners around the globe look forward to his weeklyShiurinTshuvos and Poskim.Rav Kivelevitz is aMaggid ShiurforDirshu Internationalin Talmud and Halacha as well as a Dayan with theBeth Din of America.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

RambaN Vs.RambaM-18- Nothing like the Moreh Nevuchim-The Mishneh Torah presents understanding Mitzvos as a Sisyphean challenge
AShiurthat mines ancient texts for illuminating new understanding and relevance!The following is a letter from Rabbi Kivelevitz .Shalom Ubracha-It is quite unnecessaryto state here how stressful the last few months have been.AsKlal Yisroel places an immeasurable value on learning and intellectual growth, many of us have weathered this storm by entrenching ourselves deeper into our rich literary heritage, discovering insight and inspiration and using the pause of hustle bustle activity to savor new texts and articulate probing questions. The tools of teleconferencing have generated thebrachaof wide attendance inShiurimand access to the world's finest Torah teachers. Energized by these positives, I am humbly offering to partner with all of you on a venture of discovery.Over twenty-five years ago, I listenedwith rapt attention as Professor Haym Soloveichick eulogized his father. He said theRambam,Maimonides, was theGirsa DaYankusaof his father, which the prodigygrew up memorizing like nursery rhymes, with all ofMishna Torahetched in his memory and flowing easily from his lip.However,it wasin that otherMoshe, Nachmanides,that the elder Soloveichickdiscovered his intellectual approach and soul.It can be assumed that Rav Soloveichick's flowering as the premier Talmudist of our times was built in great part by contrasting the words of each of these Medieval teachers in areas they had both worked on, or whereRambanlevels his often withering criticism ofRambam's position.There are scores of examples throughout Shas,and in particular in the work Nachmanides dedicated to staking his disagreements with his Egyptian counterpart-Hasagosto theRambam'sSefer HaMitzvos.In his classic toweringPerushonChumash,Rambanforcefully attacks many ofRambam's explanations ofmitzvosand interpretations of biblical events.In the coming weeks, we can together discover anew these diamond like gems ofcodification, inquiry analysis and poetic barbsthat issued from these giants.....-armed with the salient texts, and buoyed by an enthusiasm to discover, I relish the prospect of learning with you.

Standing in Two Worlds with Doctor Sam Juni -Episode 20 -Viewing Genesis through the lens of Adlerian Birth Order theory
Rabbi Kivelevitz begins the discussion by requesting an analysis of the rich biblical narratives of the Patriarchs’ relationships with their siblings, spouses, and children. This engenders a joint exploration of the biblical themes of favoritism among children, sibling rivalry, and the mutability of the first-born role – as well as the positive vs negative effects of these phenomena. Based on Adlerian personality theory as systemized in Walter Toman’s Family Constellation Its Effects on Personality and Social Behavior, Prof. Juni outlines the immutable character traits of oldest siblings, youngest siblings, the middle child, and the only child – including strengths and weaknesses. Juni highlights the success/failure of pairings of specific combinations, with pointed implications for relationship harmony and stability.Rabbi Kivelevitz shifts the emphasis in order to evaluate the suitability of these various personalities for leadership and governing abilities, cornering the doctor to apply the theory to the style of political figures. Innovative ,out-of-the-box leadership is seen by Juni to be characteristic of younger siblings who have a hard time competing head-on with established leaders. The professor stresses the profound effects of societal gender roles on family life, spelling out the importance of congruence of basic beliefs and attitudes on one hand, which he contrasts with the need for non-congruence (complementarity) when it comes to differential roles within any dyadic relationship. The episode concludes with Kivelevitz again seeking a confluence between the lessons of personality theory and the lessons to be learned from the patriarchs, with particular relevance to marital relations and child rearing strategies.Doctor Samuel Juniis one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today.He has published groundbreaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals, and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.Samuel Juni studied inYeshivas Chaim Berlinunder Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as aTalmidof Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick.ProfessorJuni is a prominent member of theAssociation of Orthodox Jewish Scientists, and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences.Associated with NYU since 1979,Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in important research.Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded onpsychometric methodologyand based on a psycho-dynamicpsychopathologyperspective.He is arguably the preeminent expert inDifferential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studiesentailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations.Professor Juni created and directed NYU's Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titledCross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments.Based inYerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors.Below is a partial list of the journalsto which Professor Juni has contributed over 120 articles.Many are available on lineJournal of Forensic PsychologyJournal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma.International Review of VictimologyThe Journal of Nervous and Mental DiseaseInternational Forum of PsychoanalysisJournal of Personality AssessmentJournal of Abnormal PsychologyJournal of Psychoanalytic AnthropologyPsychophysiologyPsychology and Human DevelopmentJournal of Sex ResearchJournal of Psychology and JudaismContemporary Family TherapyAmerican Journal on AddictionsJournal of Criminal PsychologyMental Health, Religion & CultureAs Rosh Beis Medrash, Rabbi Avraham Kivelevitz serves asRavandPosekfor the morningminyanat IDT.Hundreds of listeners around the globe look forward to his weeklyShiurinTshuvos and Poskim.Rav Kivelevitz is aMaggid ShiurforDirshu Internationalin Talmud and Halacha as well as a Dayan with theBeth Din of America.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

RambaN Vs.RambaM-Episode 17- Prishus: more than mere restraint
AShiurthat mines ancient texts for illuminating new understanding and relevance!The following is a letter from Rabbi Kivelevitz .Shalom Ubracha-It is quite unnecessaryto state here how stressful the last few months have been.AsKlal Yisroel places an immeasurable value on learning and intellectual growth, many of us have weathered this storm by entrenching ourselves deeper into our rich literary heritage, discovering insight and inspiration and using the pause of hustle bustle activity to savor new texts and articulate probing questions. The tools of teleconferencing have generated thebrachaof wide attendance inShiurimand access to the world's finest Torah teachers. Energized by these positives, I am humbly offering to partner with all of you on a venture of discovery.Over twenty-five years ago, I listenedwith rapt attention as Professor Haym Soloveichick eulogized his father. He said theRambam,Maimonides, was theGirsa DaYankusaof his father, which the prodigygrew up memorizing like nursery rhymes, with all ofMishna Torahetched in his memory and flowing easily from his lip.However,it wasin that otherMoshe, Nachmanides,that the elder Soloveichickdiscovered his intellectual approach and soul.It can be assumed that Rav Soloveichick's flowering as the premier Talmudist of our times was built in great part by contrasting the words of each of these Medieval teachers in areas they had both worked on, or whereRambanlevels his often withering criticism ofRambam's position.There are scores of examples throughout Shas,and in particular in the work Nachmanides dedicated to staking his disagreements with his Egyptian counterpart-Hasagosto theRambam'sSefer HaMitzvos.In his classic toweringPerushonChumash,Rambanforcefully attacks many ofRambam's explanations ofmitzvosand interpretations of biblical events.In the coming weeks, we can together discover anew these diamond like gems ofcodification, inquiry analysis and poetic barbsthat issued from these giants.....-armed with the salient texts, and buoyed by an enthusiasm to discover, I relish the prospect of learning with you.

Rischa D'Araisa-Special Edition with Rabbi Mark Gottlieb-Placing the Lord in Context-Appraising Rabbi Jonathan Sacks Z"l contribution to world philosophy and Torah scholarship
Rabbi Mark Gottlieb,senior director of the Tikvah fund and respected intellectual spokesman responds to Rabbis Kivelevitz and Bechhofer'sRischa Daraiisa 10 which featured a woefully inadequate appreciation for Rabbi Jonathan Sacks,and helps put the late Rov's world view in perspective as well as finding surprising influences for the main current of Sacks' views on realistic Jewish activism.Joining Rabbi Kivelevitz on a special mid-week episode, Gottlieb expands a bit on the memoriam he penned for First Things and revisits the controversy caused by the first edition of The Dignity of Difference.Rabbi Gottlieb explains how significant it was that Alasdair MacIntyre and Charles Taylor, two of the most important philosophers of recent decades, joined twelve Jewish contributors to afestschriftin Rabbi Sacks’ honor, with MacIntyre authoring the lead essay.The pair compare and contrast the two seminal figures evoked by Rabbi Sacks who caused him to direct his life towards Jewish leadership, Rav Menachem Mendel Schneerson and Rav Yosef Dov Soloveichick, with Gottlieb making the case that the Chasidic Rebbe was the stronger influence.Kivelevitz notes how widely accepted Rabbi Sacks was as a spokesman and writer across the spectrum of Jewish Orthodoxy and mourns the vacuum created by his tragic death.Please leave us a review at [email protected] more information on this podcastvisit yeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Standing in Two Worlds with Doctor Sam Juni-Episode 19-Sleeping in Graveyards :Mental Competency in civil and religous law
Both discussants grapple with the intersection (or perhaps, clash) of psychiatry and Halacha in the mental competence domain. Rabbi Kivelevitz detailed how Mental Health experts are regularly consulted by Bet Din in halachic child custody case. Kivelevitz further relates that competence is a quandary in Talmudic discourse primarily in the arena of marriage/divorce. He enumerates the limited Talmudic behavioral criteria of incompetence: Sleeping in the cemetery, walking alone at night, destroying one’s clothing, and losing important items.Dr. Juni and Kivelevitz exchange barbs about the degree of overlap between the medical Psychosis diagnosis and the lay notion of “crazy.” The Rabbi cautions against the labeling idiosyncrasies as mental disorders, seeing this as the basis for Halacha’s reluctance to accept the psychiatric disqualification of individuals. Dr. Juni juxtaposes this stance to Thomas Szasz’s decrying psychiatry as a political tool of suppression of the different.The salience of competence in Forensics concerns the construct of criminality regarding liability and punishment. Dr. Juni points out that different states have various criteria that may be used to disqualify voters, contrasting the equivocal rationale disqualifying felons with the more cogent disqualification of the mentally incompetent. He further points out that voting restriction refer solely to intellectual limitations, claiming there is no state which lists psychiatric incompetence as a criterion.The professor presents the forensic-legal premise behind disqualifying testimony of those with intellectual limitations. The assumption there is that the threat of punishment for possible perjury is the main deterrent which keeps witnesses honest. Consequently, those who do not adequately understand possible consequences of presenting false testimony cannot be assumed to feel compelled to tell the truth.Regarding testimony disqualification based on mental incompetence, Rabbi Kivelevitz explains that Halachic jurisprudence is quite similar to its civil counterpart in contemporary court systems, where testimony is not sees as an independent cause of legal consequence, but rather as one of many factors which are taken into account by judges. As such, testimony may be advisory at most, and its relevance is merely secondary and not central; more crucially: it is the judge who is directly responsible for the ensuing legal decision. Juni feels this to be a stark parallel to the rationale of the Electoral College in the American constitution, where voters are seeing as merely choosing representatives who are then responsible for decisions. In both cases,the precise criteria of competence (of witnesses or voters, respectively) therefore become less relevant.Donning his hat of expertise in the History of Scientific Philosophy, Dr. Juni argues that the notion that behaviors may be indicative (or symptomatic) of an underlying condition is not characteristic of systematic analytic thinking in Talmudic times. From the stance of presentism, Prof. Juni argues that the four Talmudic criteria of mental deficit seem to be based on the clear danger of certain behaviors – with some of the so-called clarity being based on superstition – and that the rationale there is that people who brazenly ignore personal safety concerns are obviously not thinking rationally.Accordingly, he challenges his co-host to explain whether the Talmudic criteria of incompetence harken back to a unitary conceptualization of intellectual deficit and – furthermore – whether such an underlying construct accommodates psychiatric disorder as well. Surprisingly, R. Kivelevitz does not disagree with Dr. Juni’s implications, but argues that the halachic system explicitly empowers rabbinic scholars to extrapolate and expand text-based constructs in their application of narrower Torah-based laws and concepts. Kivelevitz recognizes the cryptic anachronistic terminology of the original halachic sources, but he asserts that paradigmatic shifts definitely occur periodically as Halacha is interpreted and applied to evolving social, cultural, and scientific changes in the world. He insists that these more modern adaptation are definitely anticipated by the primary Tana’im in the Mishna and prominent codifies in the 1200’s.Describing Halacha as dynamic instead of static, R. Kivelevitz argues thatHalacha would otherwise be relegated to an irrelevant historical museum artifact.Both discussant seem to concur that bridging the psychiatric and halachic perspectives on mental and psychiatric competence are not necessarily incongruent, but they do not resolve the key question: What is the likelihood of constructing a connecting conceptual bridge between these the two worlds?Doctor Samuel Juniis one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today.He has published groundbreaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals, and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.Samuel Juni studied inYeshivas Chaim Berlinunder Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as aTalmidof Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick.ProfessorJuni is a prominent member of theAssociation of Orthodox Jewish Scientists, and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences.Associated with NYU since 1979,Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in important research.Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded onpsychometric methodologyand based on a psycho-dynamicpsychopathologyperspective.He is arguably the preeminent expert inDifferential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studiesentailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations.Professor Juni created and directed NYU's Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titledCross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments.Based inYerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors.Below is a partial list of the journalsto which Professor Juni has contributed over 120 articles.Many are available on lineJournal of Forensic PsychologyJournal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma.International Review of VictimologyThe Journal of Nervous and Mental DiseaseInternational Forum of PsychoanalysisJournal of Personality AssessmentJournal of Abnormal PsychologyJournal of Psychoanalytic AnthropologyPsychophysiologyPsychology and Human DevelopmentJournal of Sex ResearchJournal of Psychology and JudaismContemporary Family TherapyAmerican Journal on AddictionsJournal of Criminal PsychologyMental Health, Religion & CultureAs Rosh Beis Medrash, Rabbi Avraham Kivelevitz serves asRavandPosekfor the morningminyanat IDT.Hundreds of listeners around the globe look forward to his weeklyShiurinTshuvos and Poskim.Rav Kivelevitz is aMaggid ShiurforDirshu Internationalin Talmud and Halacha as well as a Dayan with theBeth Din of America.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rabbi Kivelevitz and the Shiur discuss the topic of Yashar ViHaTov in the Ramban and relate the ideas to the life and work of Rav Dovid Feinstein Ztvk"l Using an incredible Medrash Tanchuma and the statements of the Chida, Kivelevitz illustrates the power of humility as a teaching tool, citing examples from Rav Dovid's interactions with persons across the whole spectrum of Judaism .Ramban- Devorim-6-18שאי אפשר להזכיר בתורה כל הנהגות האדם עם שכניו ורעיו וכל משאו ומתנו ותקוני הישוב והמדינות כלם, אבל אחרי שהזכיר מהם הרבה, כגון לא תלך רכיל (ויקרא יט טז), לא תקום ולא תטור (שם פסוק יח), ולא תעמוד על דם רעך (שם פסוק טז), לא תקלל חרש (שם פסוק יד), מפני שיבה תקום (שם פסוק לב), וכיוצא בהן, חזר לומר בדרך כלל שיעשה הטוב והישר בכל דברMedrash Tanchuma Ekevוהיה עקב תשמעון מה כתיב למעלה מן הענין לא מרובכם מכל העמים חשק ה' בכם וגו' לא ממה שאתם מרובין מכל האומות ולא ממה שאתם עושין מצוה יותר מהם שהאומות עושין מצוה שלא נצטוו יותר מכם והם מגדילים שמי יותר מכם שנאמרכִּ֣י מִמִּזְרַח־שֶׁ֜מֶשׁ וְעַד־מְבוֹא֗וֹ גָּד֤וֹל שְׁמִי֙ בַּגּוֹיִ֔ם וּבְכׇל־מָק֗וֹם מֻקְטָ֥ר מֻגָּ֛שׁ לִשְׁמִ֖י וּמִנְחָ֣ה טְהוֹרָ֑ה כִּֽי־גָד֤וֹל שְׁמִי֙ בַּגּוֹיִ֔ם אָמַ֖ר הֹ צְבָאֽוֹתוְאַתֶּ֖ם מְחַלְּלִ֣ים אוֹת֑וֹ בֶּאֱמׇרְכֶ֗ם שֻׁלְחַ֤ן אֲדֹנָי֙ מְגֹאָ֣ל ה֔וּא וְנִיב֖וֹ נִבְזֶ֥ה אׇכְלֽוֹכי אתם המעט אלא בזכות שאתם ממעטין את עצמכם לפני לפיכך אני אוהב אתכםDrashos Chidaדעושה מצות ולומד תורה ומגדיל שמו יתברך בשירות ותשבחות ולא יש לו ענוה ...............אינו כלום ואין להקב"ה חפץ בו.והיו נושאים ק"ו מאברהם אע"ה שהיה חכם גדול שכליותיו נובעו' חכמה ועשיר גדול וגבור ומילא העולם חסד ........ובכל זה היה שפל מאד.והיה תועלת הרבה לחולים חולי הנפש שהיו קונין הענוה ומתרפאים מחולי הנפש .........וזהו המרגלית טובה שהיתה בצוארו See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

RambaN Vs.RambaM-Episode 16-The Path of Unio Mystica-Extracting from core ideas
AShiurthat mines ancient texts for illuminating new understanding and relevance!The following is a letter from Rabbi Kivelevitz .Shalom Ubracha-It is quite unnecessaryto state here how stressful the last few months have been.AsKlal Yisroel places an immeasurable value on learning and intellectual growth, many of us have weathered this storm by entrenching ourselves deeper into our rich literary heritage, discovering insight and inspiration and using the pause of hustle bustle activity to savor new texts and articulate probing questions. The tools of teleconferencing have generated thebrachaof wide attendance inShiurimand access to the world's finest Torah teachers. Energized by these positives, I am humbly offering to partner with all of you on a venture of discovery.Over twenty-five years ago, I listenedwith rapt attention as Professor Haym Soloveichick eulogized his father. He said theRambam,Maimonides, was theGirsa DaYankusaof his father, which the prodigygrew up memorizing like nursery rhymes, with all ofMishna Torahetched in his memory and flowing easily from his lip.However,it wasin that otherMoshe, Nachmanides,that the elder Soloveichickdiscovered his intellectual approach and soul.It can be assumed that Rav Soloveichick's flowering as the premier Talmudist of our times was built in great part by contrasting the words of each of these Medieval teachers in areas they had both worked on, or whereRambanlevels his often withering criticism ofRambam's position.There are scores of examples throughout Shas,and in particular in the work Nachmanides dedicated to staking his disagreements with his Egyptian counterpart-Hasagosto theRambam'sSefer HaMitzvos.In his classic toweringPerushonChumash,Rambanforcefully attacks many ofRambam's explanations ofmitzvosand interpretations of biblical events.In the coming weeks, we can together discover anew these diamond like gems ofcodification, inquiry analysis and poetic barbsthat issued from these giants.....-armed with the salient texts, and buoyed by an enthusiasm to discover, I relish the prospect of learning with you.

Rischa D'Araisa-Season 2-Episode 11-Cloaking Devices: "itztala sheaino shelo"-Does being caught in a lie about their past achievements invalidate a Rav from ever being considered a Manhig for Klal Yisroel?
Thinking about how the lies and exaggerations from President Trump, and those from President-elect Joe Biden have not stood in their way from assuming the highest position in our land, Rabbi Kivelevitz asks Rabbi Bechhofer about Rabbanim that have been similarly caught telling falsehoods about their past that are part of a false narrative of achievement and study.Rav Herschel Shachterunderscores that theIssurei HaTorahthat mentionshekerare concerned with denying a financial debt, falsifying a past history would violatetheMitzvahofVehalachta Bidrachav, asone of the prime attributes of God is Emes.Bechhofer believes that after a sufficient censure-ship period of contrition and humility, the Rabbi who has been caught in this distortion, should be welcomed into the community of scholars and be allowed to rise to prominence and leadership.During the episode, Rabbi Bechhofer referred to his series on theLaws of Lyingand theAlter of Kelm.Viewers can see the presentation here.

Standing in Two Worlds with Doctor Sam Juni Episode 18-Navigating the Unending Storm-Coping with Chronic Crisis: Pandemics, Life in Israel, & Family Illness
Professor Juni introduces his work in Chronic Crisis Theory in prolonged emergency states, delineating salient external coping methods and internal defenses. He stresses the positive features of suppression as a stop-gap measure. Dr. Juni illustrates his theory with clinical examples from a variety of protracted family and social challenges. Rabbi Kivelevitz extends this perspective to champion the value of periodic respite for families of chronic medical patients to recalibrate a sense of sanity. In a parallel analysis, Juni analyzes the idiosyncratic Israeli personality and associated mores and interpersonal styles, portraying the typical Sabra as living in a pressure cooker of constant vigilance which erodes the human fabric. Kivelevitz presents the Talmudic prescription to crisis management –immersion in study and scholarship as a lifeline of distancing emotionally from overpowering environmental stressors, as he formulates less parochial positive experiential adaptations from the lens of self-empowerment taught by the late Rabbi Jonathan Sacks.Doctor Samuel Juniis one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today.He has published groundbreaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals, and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.Samuel Juni studied inYeshivas Chaim Berlinunder Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as aTalmidof Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick.ProfessorJuni is a prominent member of theAssociation of Orthodox Jewish Scientists, and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences.Associated with NYU since 1979,Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in important research.Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded onpsychometric methodologyand based on a psycho-dynamicpsychopathologyperspective.He is arguably the preeminent expert inDifferential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studiesentailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations.Professor Juni created and directed NYU's Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titledCross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments.Based inYerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors.Below is a partial list of the journalsto which Professor Juni has contributed over 120 articles.Many are available on lineJournal of Forensic PsychologyJournal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma.International Review of VictimologyThe Journal of Nervous and Mental DiseaseInternational Forum of PsychoanalysisJournal of Personality AssessmentJournal of Abnormal PsychologyJournal of Psychoanalytic AnthropologyPsychophysiologyPsychology and Human DevelopmentJournal of Sex ResearchJournal of Psychology and JudaismContemporary Family TherapyAmerican Journal on AddictionsJournal of Criminal PsychologyMental Health, Religion & CultureAs Rosh Beis Medrash, Rabbi Avraham Kivelevitz serves asRavandPosekfor the morningminyanat IDT.Hundreds of listeners around the globe look forward to his weeklyShiurinTshuvos and Poskim.Rav Kivelevitz is aMaggid ShiurforDirshu Internationalin Talmud and Halacha as well as a Dayan with theBeth Din of America.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

He said theRambam,Maimonides, was theGirsa DaYankusaof his father, which the prodigygrew up memorizing like nursery rhymes, with all ofMishna Torahetched in his memory and flowing easily from his lip.However,it wasin that otherMoshe, Nachmanides,that the elder Soloveichickdiscovered his intellectual approach and soul.It can be assumed that Rav Soloveichick's flowering as the premier Talmudist of our times was built in great part by contrasting the words of each of these Medieval teachers in areas they had both worked on, or whereRambanlevels his often withering criticism ofRambam's position.There are scores of examples throughout Shas,and in particular in the work Nachmanides dedicated to staking his disagreements with his Egyptian counterpart-Hasagosto theRambam'sSefer HaMitzvos.In his classic toweringPerushonChumash,Rambanforcefully attacks many ofRambam's explanations ofmitzvosand interpretations of biblical events.In the coming weeks, we can together discover anew these diamond like gems ofcodification, inquiry analysis and poetic barbsthat issued from these giants.....-armed with the salient texts, and buoyed by an enthusiasm to discover, I relish the prospect of learning with you.

Rischa D'Araisa-Season 2 Episode 10- Message to the Agudah: Conflating "Yeshivish" in the U.S with Charedi in Eretz Yisroel is a mistake
In a signing ceremony in Yerushalayim two weeks ago of the World Zionist Organization,a coalition that included the Orthodox Union, Yeshiva University, Touro College, Bnei Akiva, AMIT, the RCA, the National Council of Young Israel and Torah Mitzion resulted in Yaakov Hagoel, being named the organization's first religious Jew to serve as the Chairman of the Executive. The agreement signed distributed control over Zionist institutions and departments to a wide range of Jewish organizations and factions, from Orthodox to Reform and from Right to Left.This prompted Agudath Israel to issue a "Statement on Charedi Principles" explaining why they did not join and claiming that those who did were acquiescing to the dogmatic statements that were part of the The Jerusalem Program's foundations of Zionism which are:"Zionism is the national liberation movement of the Jewish people, it brought about the establishment of the State of Israel,and a Jewish, Zionist, democratic and secure State of Israel is the common responsibility of the Jewish people for its continuity and future.The State of Israel and Jerusalem, its capital, is central in the life of our nation.Aliyah to Israel from all countries and the effective integration of all immigrants into Israeli society is a goal we must work for.Strengthening Israel as a Jewish, Zionist and democratic state and shaping it as an exemplary society with a unique moral and spiritual character, marked by mutual respect for the multi-faceted Jewish people, needs to be inculcated to our children as something to constantly strive for.Eretz Yisroel's destiny is rooted in the vision of the prophets, striving for peace and contributing to the betterment of the world.We will ensure the future and the distinctiveness of the Jewish people by furthering Jewish, Hebrew and Zionist education, fostering spiritual and cultural values and teaching Hebrew as the national language;Despite being geographically spread throughout the world,we will nurture mutual Jewish responsibility, defend the rights of Jews as individuals and as a nation, and represent the national Zionist interests of the Jewish people, and struggle against all manifestations of anti-Semitism.We will do all in our power to further thesettling of the country as an expression of practical Zionism."The Agudah deems these ideas,which give such prominence to statehood as a rejection of Torah as the major factor that defines our people and in essence condemned persons identifying as Charedi for joining the group. Rabbi Bechhofer takes exception with the conflation of Charedi and the Bnei Torah of America.Rabbi Kivelevitz feels that the chance to bond with one voice in a time of world crisis should be a benefit that trumps any suggestion that there has been an abdication of principle as the platform is secondary to the benefits to Torah institutions that will ensue.Kivelevitz and Bechoffer both believe that issues in Eretz Yisroel need to be put on the back burner when so much tummult exists in America which Agudah can address together with other Orthodox mosdos.Rabbi Kivelevitz offers thoughts on the passing of Rav Dovid Feinstein Zt"l and Rabbi Jonathan Sacks,Z"lwhile Rabbi Bechhofer criticizes those who davened fervently for Donald Trump's re-election,and Rabbi Kivelevitz urges all Jewish organizations to warmly congratulate Joe Biden on his victory. a certain party identifying itself as representing Chareidi Jews has the authority to sign a coalition agreement within the World Zionist Congress together with other Jewish parties including non-Orthodox religious groups, as happened last weekThe Jerusalem Program states that:Zionism, the national liberation movement of the Jewish people, brought about the establishment of the State of Israel, and views a Jewish, Zionist, democratic and secure State of Israel to be the expression of the common responsibility of the Jewish people for its continuity and future.The Jerusalem Program's foundations of Zionism are:The unity of the Jewish people, its bond to its historic homeland Eretz Yisrael, and the centrality of the State of Israel and Jerusalem, its capital, in the life of the nation;Aliyah to Israel from all countries and the effective integration of all immigrants into Israeli society.Strengthening Israel as a Jewish, Zionist and democratic state and shaping it as an exemplary society with a unique moral and spiritual character, marked by mutual respect for the multi-faceted Jewish people, rooted in the vision of the prophets, striving for peace and contributing to the betterment of the world.Ensuring the future and the distinctiveness of the Jewish people by furthering Jewish, Hebrew and Zionist education, fostering spiritual and cultural values and teaching Hebrew as the national language;Nurturing mutual Jewish responsibility, defending the rights of Jews as individuals and as a nation, representing the national Zionist interests of the Jewish people, and struggling against all manifestations of anti-Semitism;Settling the country as an expression of practical Zionism.

Standing in Two Worlds with Doctor Sam Juni-Episode 17-Eliminating Pater-Your child is destined to resent you-It's the only way to grow up
Rabbi Kivelevitz begins this episode by citing the disturbing trend that has increased during thecoronavirus outbreak ofmillions of American young adults, moving in with family members. The share of 18- to 29-year-olds living with their parents has become a majority since U.S. coronavirus cases began spreading early this year, surpassing the previous peak during the Great Depression era.Beginning with the postulate that children are destined to leave their parents as a means of establishing their own identity, Dr. Juni argues from a psychology perspective that adultsshould notbe living with parents.Rabbi Kivelevitz weighs in from the vantage of his studies in sociology, and engages the professor to remark on cultures wherethe norms and customs foster a life long bond with parents that is predicated on living in very close proximity with them.Citing basic principles of Developmental Psychology, Dr. Juni outlines the elements of adolescent rebellion against the parental figures ( frustration, anger, resentment), and while they appear to present as forces of negativity, Juni asserts that they are in actuality part of the healthy process of maturation.The professor concedes to the Rabbi that the challenge to parental and cultural rules and mores, and outright critique of religious values increases tension and strife in families.Kivelevitz notes that Rabbinic Literature seems very aware of these issues and sketches the evolution in Halacha on using corporal punishment towards children as a method of guidance.From the Talmud through mediaeval times, beating a child, even one whose behavior wascommendablewas seen as acharacterbuilder.It was only during the period of the European Enlightenment that thenormative stance began todissuadeparents and teachers from employing the rod.Juni counters that it was replaced with verbal shaming and abuse that could leave even deeper scars.Returning to the doctor's central thesis,the Rabbiquotes Pirkei Avosto underscore that at some point disconnection from the home and the difficulties that follow in its wake, are part of priming the child to deal with life’s expected challenges.Kivelevitz continues to insist, however, that outright enmity toward parents is not necessary for healthy development.Juni takes the fatalist position that resentment toward parents is inevitable regardless of how supportive a parent may be. He warns against allowing children full leeway, citing cases from his own practice where those raised with excesspermissiveness suffered in regular social settings.Rabbi Kivelevitz stresses the importance of carving out personal space in these anxious times for children and other family members who find themselves living together.Doctor Samuel Juniis one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today.He has published groundbreaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals, and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.Samuel Juni studied inYeshivas Chaim Berlinunder Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as aTalmidof Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick.ProfessorJuni is a prominent member of theAssociation of Orthodox Jewish Scientists, and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences.Associated with NYU since 1979,Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in important research.Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded onpsychometric methodologyand based on a psycho-dynamicpsychopathologyperspective.He is arguably the preeminent expert inDifferential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studiesentailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations.Professor Juni created and directed NYU's Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titledCross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments.Based inYerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors.Below is a partial list of the journalsto which Professor Juni has contributed over 120 articles.Many are available on lineJournal of Forensic PsychologyJournal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma.International Review of VictimologyThe Journal of Nervous and Mental DiseaseInternational Forum of PsychoanalysisJournal of Personality AssessmentJournal of Abnormal PsychologyJournal of Psychoanalytic AnthropologyPsychophysiologyPsychology and Human DevelopmentJournal of Sex ResearchJournal of Psychology and JudaismContemporary Family TherapyAmerican Journal on AddictionsJournal of Criminal PsychologyMental Health, Religion & CultureAs Rosh Beis Medrash, Rabbi Avraham Kivelevitz serves asRavandPosekfor the morningminyanat IDT.Hundreds of listeners around the globe look forward to his weeklyShiurinTshuvos and Poskim.Rav Kivelevitz is aMaggid ShiurforDirshu Internationalin Talmud and Halacha as well as a Dayan with theBeth Din of America.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

RambaN Vs.RambaM -Episode 14- Ralbag: Existing outside the Mesorah
AShiurthat mines ancient texts for illuminating new understanding and relevance!The following is a letter from Rabbi Kivelevitz .Shalom Ubracha-It is quite unnecessaryto state here how stressful the last few months have been.AsKlal Yisroel places an immeasurable value on learning and intellectual growth, many of us have weathered this storm by entrenching ourselves deeper into our rich literary heritage, discovering insight and inspiration and using the pause of hustle bustle activity to savor new texts and articulate probing questions. The tools of teleconferencing have generated thebrachaof wide attendance inShiurimand access to the world's finest Torah teachers. Energized by these positives, I am humbly offering to partner with all of you on a venture of discovery.Over twenty-five years ago, I listenedwith rapt attention as Professor Haym Soloveichick eulogized his father. He said theRambam,Maimonides, was theGirsa DaYankusaof his father, which the prodigygrew up memorizing like nursery rhymes, with all ofMishna Torahetched in his memory and flowing easily from his lip.However,it wasin that otherMoshe, Nachmanides,that the elder Soloveichickdiscovered his intellectual approach and soul.It can be assumed that Rav Soloveichick's flowering as the premier Talmudist of our times was built in great part by contrasting the words of each of these Medieval teachers in areas they had both worked on, or whereRambanlevels his often withering criticism ofRambam's position.There are scores of examples throughout Shas,and in particular in the work Nachmanides dedicated to staking his disagreements with his Egyptian counterpart-Hasagosto theRambam'sSefer HaMitzvos.In his classic toweringPerushonChumash,Rambanforcefully attacks many ofRambam's explanations ofmitzvosand interpretations of biblical events.In the coming weeks, we can together discover anew these diamond like gems ofcodification, inquiry analysis and poetic barbsthat issued from these giants.....-armed with the salient texts, and buoyed by an enthusiasm to discover, I relish the prospect of learning with you.

Rischa D'Araisa-Season 2 Episode 9-Counterpoints:As we Learn to Mask-We need to unlearn our fear of death
The Rabbis deal with navigating the fear of death during the Pandemic ,and in general in life.Rabbi Bechhofer quotes Rav Yisroel Salanter's sage words(actually echoing Socrates) to the Alter of Novardok, while Rabbi Kivelevitz extols the nobility of the many persons he has known who have faced their mortality in exemplary fashion.They then call in Rabbi Bechhofer's wife,Shani, to discuss her article in the Jewish Press advocating strongly for mask wearing. She uses Rischa's forum to expand on some points and to respond to the arguments of Rabbi Michoel Green who sees the Mask Mandates as part of "An Anti-Jewish assault".Kivelevitz ridicules most of the spurious contentions Green offers, with Rebbetzin Bechhofer paying him a few backhanded compliments for ingenuity.

On Principle -22-Challenges in Jewish Education with Rabbi Jon Kroll-Crafting a working "Electoral College" by having our High-schoolers engaged and voting on the issues beyond personalities
The renowned educator and Principal ofSAR High SchoolRabbi Jonathan Kroll and Rabbi Kivelevitz discuss what the special Election day programming at the school, and what has been done to promote better citizenship and speak honestly about divergent opinions.Below is a letter Rabbi Kroll and his administration sent out to parents :Teaching & Learning in Anticipation of Election Day 2020October 29, 2020Dear Parents,As citizens of the United States, we have the right to vote, to participate in shaping the government and the laws under which we live. And we have the responsibility to participate in political life in a way that respects the diversity of opinions of the citizens of our country. At SAR High School, we are a community of learners united by our commitments to Torah and Modern Orthodoxy, but with different perspectives on how those commitments translate into American politics. We want to prepare our students to be informed and civil participants in national and communal political discourse.We would like to share highlights of what we have been teaching and learning in anticipation ofElection Day 2020, as well as guidance for how to foster reflective conversation with your children.Sincerely,The SAR AdministrationCURRICULAR AND CO-CURRICULAR INITIATIVES:The History Department is preparing all of the students in SAR High School to be informed about some of the key policy stakes of this election, as well as about election procedures. 9th and 10th graders will gain a basic understanding of the differences between the two parties on issues, as well as the mechanics of how a presidential election is run. 11th and 12th graders, with more background in American history, will be able to discuss some of these issues in greater depth. The 12th grade AP US Government and Politics and Values of Citizenship classes will devote additional class time to deeper discussions of this year's election in the broader historical and political context.On Election Day, we will run a schoolwide election, enabling all SAR High School students to cast their ballots for president. We will continue our quadrennial tradition of Return for the Returns, although this year, it will of necessity take place on Zoom. In addition to watching the returns on Zoom together, teachers and some student leaders of the Electoral Politics and Government club will offer short presentations about key issues and races to watch.HOW TO TALK WITH HIGH SCHOOL CHILDREN ABOUT THE ELECTIONParents and teachers are well-equipped to navigate open and objective conversation and grapple with complexity, to help students concentrate on the important issues at play or where our candidates stand on them, and to model respectful disagreement and discourse.Nonetheless, kids are tuned into the current political climate. They are listening in to our conversations and trying to make sense of the ideas they encounter around the table, in the news, and on social media, and they share what they've heard with friends at school, which can often be skewed or flawed. Campaigns fraught with tension can bring up many challenging questions and emotions for children, making our influence as adults all the more important.When discussing the election with your child(ren), please consider the following:Focus on issues—not people, regardless of the candidates you support. This enables children to distinguish between a person's position and the person.Respect differing viewpoints. Let's resist the temptation towards the all-or-nothing discourse so common in American politics now. Model how to listen openly and consider diverse perspectives. Help our children understand that multiple points of view are possible, that not everyone thinks the way they do, and that we can respect another person's right to have an opinion even when disagreeing with them. A worthwhile exercise is to consider the values behind someone's position. You may not share those values, or you may think other ones are more important. But understanding that others' politics emerge from their values helps us engage differently, in a less scorched-earth way.Monitor your messaging. Kids are paying attention. Be conscious of your words and tone when expressing your views on the candidates and their stance on different topics. In a community of diverse political views, our children are learning from our modeling how to engage with people with whom they differ.Encourage deeper understanding. Ask, "What do you think about ___?" What questions do you have?" It's okay to let them know that you don't have all the answers, and to follow up with, "Let's find out," or "Let's think about that together." Often, our children's understanding of the issues of the day is limited to a snippet they saw on social media or a sound byte on the news. Our kids may be really interested in understanding the issues and the debates around them, and we should encourage them to formulate informed, thought-out positions, rather than knee-jerk, often partisan, responses.Talk about issues and qualities you value, even when it feels difficult. Politics can sometimes feel like a sports fandom, as much about whom one is rooting against as whom one is rooting for. But often, our politics are deeply rooted in our values, and it is important to communicate that to our children. What positions do we support, and why? What tradeoffs do we make among the many things we value, as we choose which candidates to support? Talking about politics this way helps our children think about politics less as Yankees and Red Sox, and more about deep questions about the best ways to structure a society and promote the general welfare.Brainstorm ways that they can contribute to their community, which nurtures a sense of agency and civic responsibility. Our political discussions often focus heavily on national elections, and even then, almost exclusively on the presidency. But there is a great deal at stake in state and local politics, and it is an arena in which smaller groups can have a great deal of impact. Who are your local elected officials? What are the issues facing your community? If students want to get involved, organizations that are active in local communities and politics are a great place to start.Teach students about the importance of being media-literate - how to evaluate and think critically about information. We are awash in information from innumerable sources, streamed into our phones all day. The challenge of our moment is to assess that information, to figure out what sources are reliable, and what assumptions or biases they might carry. "Who said or wrote that?" "Whose views are represented?" "Whose views are missing?" "Is there a different way of thinking about it?"Meet our children where they are. Not all students are equally invested in politics and elections, even at this time. All SAR High School students are learning about election procedures and some of the issues in their classes, but beyond that, shareyour values with your children while being responsive to their levels of interest.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Standing in Two Worlds with Doctor Sam Juni- 16 - Jewish Liberalism, Intersectionality, and Antisemitism: An Unholy Alliance
Inspired by a fascinating monograph authored by J.J.Gross entitled Masculine Antisemtism/Feminine Antisemitism Feminine Jewishness/Masculine Jewishness, Doctor Juni adds his unique perspective to the phenomenon that has hounded our people relentlessly in various forms, Anti-Semitism. The complete episode results in an overall analysis by Juni and Kivelevitz of liberalism among modern Jews, and how it may be contributing to the de-identification of Jews with Judaism.Kivelevitz brings up the championing of total non-denominationalism by Jews who were part of major revolutionary movements (Communism, in particular) .Tikkun Olam ,though highly touted by many liberal thinkers as the salient contribution of the people of Israel, is seen by the Professor and the Rabbi as being part of an egalitarian Philosophy which has diluted authentic Judaism .Doctor Juni further argues that the trend advanced by academians and many clerics has led, what was once seen as a distinct religion, to be valued ,even by its members, only as a part of a contemporary intersectionality.Drawing on Gross' thesis, Juni underscores how this view has bred thinly veiled racism, outright prejudice, anti-Semitism and a demonizing of Zionism.The Doctor articulates a psychological basis for his observations of continued Jewish self-persecution and self-hatred. He relates this in great part to what he terms the “Galus Complex".Kivelevitz points out the similarities between the dwindling numbers of the Reform and Conservative movements and the deterioration of non-evangelical Protestant churches and, the sharp drop in attendance at Catholic Churches throughout the Western world.J.J. Gross is a veteran creative director and copywriter, who blogs frequently for the Times of Israel on both political issues and parshas hashavua. Doctor Samuel Juniis one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today.He has published groundbreaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals, and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.Samuel Juni studied inYeshivas Chaim Berlinunder Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as aTalmidof Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick.ProfessorJuni is a prominent member of theAssociation of Orthodox Jewish Scientists, and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences.Associated with NYU since 1979,Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in important research.Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded onpsychometric methodologyand based on a psycho-dynamicpsychopathologyperspective.He is arguably the preeminent expert inDifferential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studiesentailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations.Professor Juni created and directed NYU's Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titledCross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments.Based inYerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors.Below is a partial list of the journalsto which Professor Juni has contributed over 120 articles.Many are available on lineJournal of Forensic PsychologyJournal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma.International Review of VictimologyThe Journal of Nervous and Mental DiseaseInternational Forum of PsychoanalysisJournal of Personality AssessmentJournal of Abnormal PsychologyJournal of Psychoanalytic AnthropologyPsychophysiologyPsychology and Human DevelopmentJournal of Sex ResearchJournal of Psychology and JudaismContemporary Family TherapyAmerican Journal on AddictionsJournal of Criminal PsychologyMental Health, Religion & CultureAs Rosh Beis Medrash, Rabbi Avraham Kivelevitz serves asRavandPosekfor the morningminyanat IDT.Hundreds of listeners around the globe look forward to his weeklyShiurinTshuvos and Poskim.Rav Kivelevitz is aMaggid ShiurforDirshu Internationalin Talmud and Halacha as well as a Dayan with theBeth Din of America.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

On Principle -21-Challenges in Jewish Education with Rabbi Yitzchak Kolakowski :Ohr LaGoyim-Compasion and Respect for those imprisoned
This episode provides fascinating details of how the Jewish incarcerated are able to receive support for the practice of their religion due to a network of dedicated professionals.Rabbi Joseph Kolakowski shares his unique perspective for reaching persons of all faiths(including Wiccans and Odinists) with Rabbi Kivelevitz, and the pair find quite a bit of depth in Halloween.Kolakowski is the Facility Chaplaincy Program Director at the The State Correctional Institution (SCI) at Waymart, Pennsylvania. The institution is a medium security prison facility housing 1,100 inmates and a 120 bed Forensic Treatment Center, which provides inpatient psychiatric treatment in a secure setting for adult male offenders. Kolakowski is the first Rabbi in the history of the Commonwealth to serve as head chaplain in a state prison. Prior to his present position, he served pulpits and chaplaincy positions in Virginia and Upstate New York. The Rabbi has emerged as a talented speaker in areas of religion, politics, spirituality, popular culture, history, and interfaith affairs. He has created an extremely popular YouTube channel with thousands of followers.Kolakowski unashamedly recounts his personal history. While his mother was raised in aModern Orthodoxhome in Queens, his father is a devout Roman Catholic. He had abrisin an Orthodox synagogue but was also baptized in a Catholic church.His maternal grandparents encouraged him to have a bar mitzvah in their Orthodox Shul which spurred the young Kolakowski to adopt a frum lifestyle.At eighteen, he spent a year in a YeshivainYerushalayim, whose environs drew him into Hasidic practice and philosophy .Kolakowski went on to study for and receive semichahatYeshivaOr KedoshimBialainBrooklyn. He recognized the need to obtain a B.A. in psychology fromLander College for Men.Hearing the call to become a communal leader, he matriculated to Touro College for a postgraduate certificate in Advanced Rabbinics and Synagogue Managementin conjunction with theNational Council of Young Israeland theYoung Israel Council of Rabbis. Rabbi Kolakowski's English translation of seferSeder HaYomby the late Biala Rebbe was published in2006inIsrael to wide acclaim.

He said theRambam,Maimonides, was theGirsa DaYankusaof his father, which the prodigygrew up memorizing like nursery rhymes, with all ofMishna Torahetched in his memory and flowing easily from his lip.However,it wasin that otherMoshe, Nachmanides,that the elder Soloveichickdiscovered his intellectual approach and soul.It can be assumed that Rav Soloveichick's flowering as the premier Talmudist of our times was built in great part by contrasting the words of each of these Medieval teachers in areas they had both worked on, or whereRambanlevels his often withering criticism ofRambam's position.There are scores of examples throughout Shas,and in particular in the work Nachmanides dedicated to staking his disagreements with his Egyptian counterpart-Hasagosto theRambam'sSefer HaMitzvos.In his classic toweringPerushonChumash,Rambanforcefully attacks many ofRambam's explanations ofmitzvosand interpretations of biblical events.In the coming weeks, we can together discover anew these diamond like gems ofcodification, inquiry analysis and poetic barbsthat issued from these giants.....-armed with the salient texts, and buoyed by an enthusiasm to discover, I relish the prospect of learning with you.

Rischa D'Araisa -Season 2 Episode 8 -Is learning Bichavrusa an impediment to individual growth?
Unlike a teacher-student relationship, in which the student memorizes and repeats the material back in tests,chavrusa-style learning puts each student in the position of analyzing the text, organizing his thoughts into logical arguments, explaining his reasoning to his partner, hearing out his partner's reasoning, and questioning and sharpening each other's ideas, often arriving at entirely new insights into the meaning of the text.Rabbi Kivelevitz challenges Rabbi Bechhofer on whether his individual learning and growth might have suffered by the necessary abandonment of intense multi hour chavrusa learning that is the general case of Rabbinic scholars as they advance from late adulthood to old-age.Bechhofer feels that when a mature scholar has their focus, the time and energy expended on mutual exploration and argument detracts from important projects that are incumbent on Talmidei Chachamim. He further opines that the "chovos Adam Biolomo"points to more teaching of younger or less experienced persons.Kivelevitz is skeptical if his friend would embrace that idea so strongly if the remuneration that Bechhofer receives from his study partners would be withdrawn. He invokes a contra version of fulfilling God's will by charging all senior members of the Talmudic fraternity to follow the examples of Rav Shmuel Berenbaum Zt'l and Rav Yaakov Jofen Zt"l in re-examining familiar material fresh with a perspective of measured more sophisticated daas to truly bond with God through Torah study.Please send comments to [email protected] See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Emeritus Rex-Reflections and Insights from Rabbi Reuben Poupko-A forty year veteran of the Rabbinate-Episode 2- Shots fired from across the border : Our religious and political divisions can obscure what is at stake in the American election
A brand new interview program that seeks to pick the brain of one of the most influential Rabbinic figures of North America.RabbiReuben Joshua Poupko has been the Rabbi ofBeth Israel Beth Aaron Congregation in Montrealfor over 30 years.Rabbi Poupko from his Canadian perch sketches cogently the debate in the Jewish community over supporting President Trump.He explains why Orthodox Jews have a more cynical attitude to politics, and the reasons why Trump polls so strongly among them.Poupko draws parallels and distinction between the support Canadian Jewry began to give to the Conservative Party, and how the George W, Bush period stirred Jews to the Republican party.He enlightens Kivelevitz about the real politick that the Parti Québécois used not to alienate their Jewish constituents when they came into power.Kivelevitz and Poupko reminisce over some of the important political figures in the United States over the last fifty years, with Poupko cogently describing why who the next American President is serves as the the hottest topic under discussion globally across all religious communities.Rabbi Poupko predicts that many of the positive changes the Trump administration engendered in Israel policy will probably survive into the Biden-Harris era with the realization of the changes to the facts on the ground as they relate to Iran and the new peace accords with the U.A.E, and Bahrain.Kivelevitz hopes that Biden will bring in top flight intellectual thinkers as Richard Nixon did whose surveying of the political landscape can be free of ugly bias.Rabbi Poupko opines about Netanyahu's political chances in the coming months and how an incoming Democratic administration will struggle to maintain a positive bond with some one they see as a Republican foreign agent.He also provides many interesting insider tidbits as to what might have caused the thawing of relationships with the Saudis.

Standing in Two Worlds with Doctor Sam Juni -Episode 15 -Mental Health Fallout of Coping (and Mis-Coping) with Corona Anxiety
Recent events of social and community upheaval in the USA and Israel are examined through the general lens of Ego Psychology. Misguided coping strategies with the anxiety spawned by the Corona Pandemic are seen as contributing to the unraveling of the social fabric globally, resulting in general discord, eruptions of violence, and vocal intergroup hatred. Rabbi Kivelevitz suggests that the failure of these strategies has been the primary fuel for the destruction associated with BLM protests, election-related conspiracies, the erosion of civility in politics, and group-engendered dangerous health practices. Prof. Juni spells out adaptive and disruptive psychological Defense Mechanism options which we all use to deal with in coping with personal, family, and prolonged crisis situations, and outlines specific stances which are most likely to protect individuals and families from decompensation. He highlights extant American conspiracy theories, anti-mask movements, outrageous violence/looting protests, grouping these phenomena with extremist Israeli agitation of religious wars among certain sects, rock throwers, police baiting, and “Shabbes” or “Shiksa” yellers – pointing to such extremist behaviors as telltale signs of reactive defensive processes against intolerable threats of anxiety.Prodded by Rabbi Kivelevitz to articulate a recipe for coping, Prof. Juni outlines adaptive strategies with Corona anxiety, stressing rational assessments of contagion chance based on accurate data and urging those with severe coping difficulties to request from their physiciansprescription anti-anxiety medicationto be taken PRN (as needed).Doctor Samuel Juniis one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today.He has published groundbreaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals, and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.Samuel Juni studied inYeshivas Chaim Berlinunder Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as aTalmidof Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick.ProfessorJuni is a prominent member of theAssociation of Orthodox Jewish Scientists, and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences.Associated with NYU since 1979,Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in important research.Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded onpsychometric methodologyand based on a psycho-dynamicpsychopathologyperspective.He is arguably the preeminent expert inDifferential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studiesentailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations.Professor Juni created and directed NYU's Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titledCross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments.Based inYerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors.Below is a partial list of the journalsto which Professor Juni has contributed over 120 articles.Many are available on lineJournal of Forensic PsychologyJournal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma.International Review of VictimologyThe Journal of Nervous and Mental DiseaseInternational Forum of PsychoanalysisJournal of Personality AssessmentJournal of Abnormal PsychologyJournal of Psychoanalytic AnthropologyPsychophysiologyPsychology and Human DevelopmentJournal of Sex ResearchJournal of Psychology and JudaismContemporary Family TherapyAmerican Journal on AddictionsJournal of Criminal PsychologyMental Health, Religion & CultureAs Rosh Beis Medrash, Rabbi Avraham Kivelevitz serves asRavandPosekfor the morningminyanat IDT.Hundreds of listeners around the globe look forward to his weeklyShiurinTshuvos and Poskim.Rav Kivelevitz is aMaggid ShiurforDirshu Internationalin Talmud and Halacha as well as a Dayan with theBeth Din of America.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

RambaN Vs. RambaM Episode 12 Spanning two millennia: Days of Adam and Noach- What was their secret?
AShiurthat mines ancient texts for illuminating new understanding and relevance!The following is a letter from Rabbi Kivelevitz the host of the program.Shalom Ubracha-It is quite unnecessaryto state here how stressful the last few months have been.AsKlal Yisroel places an immeasurable value on learning and intellectual growth, many of us have weathered this storm by entrenching ourselves deeper into our rich literary heritage, discovering insight and inspiration and using the pause of hustle bustle activity to savor new texts and articulate probing questions. The tools of teleconferencing have generated thebrachaof wide attendance inShiurimand access to the world's finest Torah teachers. Energized by these positives, I am humbly offering to partner with all of you on a venture of discovery.Over twenty-five years ago, I listenedwith rapt attention as Professor Haym Soloveichick eulogized his father. He said theRambam,Maimonides, was theGirsa DaYankusaof his father, which the prodigygrew up memorizing like nursery rhymes, with all ofMishna Torahetched in his memory and flowing easily from his lip.However,it wasin that otherMoshe, Nachmanides,that the elder Soloveichickdiscovered his intellectual approach and soul.It can be assumed that Rav Soloveichick's flowering as the premier Talmudist of our times was built in great part by contrasting the words of each of these Medieval teachers in areas they had both worked on, or whereRambanlevels his often withering criticism ofRambam's position.There are scores of examples throughout Shas,and in particular in the work Nachmanides dedicated to staking his disagreements with his Egyptian counterpart-Hasagosto theRambam'sSefer HaMitzvos.In his classic toweringPerushonChumash,Rambanforcefully attacks many ofRambam's explanations ofmitzvosand interpretations of biblical events.In the coming weeks, we can together discover anew these diamond like gems ofcodification, inquiry analysis and poetic barbsthat issued from these giants.....-armed with the salient texts, and buoyed by an enthusiasm to discover, I relish the prospect of learning with you.

Rischa D'Araisa-Season 2 Episode 7-Should the Satmar Rov be classified in the category of "Flawed Gedolim"??
On the basis of material culled together in this eight year old blog-Rabbi Bechhofer demands Rabbi Kivelevitz admit to his conclusion that Rav Yoel zt"l suffered from serious flaws which demote him in comparison to other giants of the 20th century. Kivelevitz forces himself to read the ugly invective that the young Rav Teitelbaum penned against the first Chief Rabbi of Modern Israel,Rav Avraham Yitzchak HaKohen Kook.Rabbi Bechhofer points out that despite the Rov being saved by Kastner a staunch Zionist,and his community reaping the benefits of Israeli government policy,Rav Teitelbaum never recanted or softened his extreme positions. Rabbi Kivelevitz offers justification for the incendiary language used by the Satmarer,as his intense belief that the whole edifice of creation was threatened by Zionism and any figure that lent it support.Kivelevitz feels that Bechhofer's ire should be directed more concerning the Rov's views on the wars that defended the State of Israel.

Standing in Two Worlds with Doctor Sam Juni -Episode 14 - Extending the Stressful Marriage or Divorce
With divorce rates spiking world-wide during the Pandemic, including the Orthodox Jewish world, Rabbi Kivelevitz asks the professor his views on sustaining a married relationship.The Rabbi outlines the roots of marriage as stemming from a confluence of a gender-rooted and role-differentiated efficient arrangement intertwined with a Divinely designed living ideal.Doctor Juni analyzes the contrasting implications of religiously mandated marriage, divorce taboos, and clashes of personal interest / styles / objectives among marital partners. Recounting anecdotal and clinical episodes, Dr. Juni illustrates different levels of emotional connectedness and personal relatedness among ethnic subgroups – particularly among Hareidi and fundamental religious movements.He explores the benefits of divorce, while arguing that even the “amicable divorce” is a damaging experience to children.The pair are careful not to downplay the negative repercussions of toxic marriages, stressing that a balance of benefits and losses needs to be evaluated by each individual based on their values and personality. Juni sidesteps questions of “oughts” and “should” while staunchly promoting the positive and mental health benefits of being truthful with spouses and with oneself – even when these push marital dyads toward divorce, or persuade individuals to avoid marriage in the first place.Doctor Samuel Juniis one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today.He has published groundbreaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals, and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.Samuel Juni studied inYeshivas Chaim Berlinunder Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as aTalmidof Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick.ProfessorJuni is a prominent member of theAssociation of Orthodox Jewish Scientists, and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences.Associated with NYU since 1979,Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in important research.Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded onpsychometric methodologyand based on a psycho-dynamicpsychopathologyperspective.He is arguably the preeminent expert inDifferential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studiesentailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations.Professor Juni created and directed NYU's Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titledCross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments.Based inYerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors.Below is a partial list of the journalsto which Professor Juni has contributed over 120 articles.Many are available on lineJournal of Forensic PsychologyJournal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma.International Review of VictimologyThe Journal of Nervous and Mental DiseaseInternational Forum of PsychoanalysisJournal of Personality AssessmentJournal of Abnormal PsychologyJournal of Psychoanalytic AnthropologyPsychophysiologyPsychology and Human DevelopmentJournal of Sex ResearchJournal of Psychology and JudaismContemporary Family TherapyAmerican Journal on AddictionsJournal of Criminal PsychologyMental Health, Religion & CultureAs Rosh Beis Medrash, Rabbi Avraham Kivelevitz serves asRavandPosekfor the morningminyanat IDT.Hundreds of listeners around the globe look forward to his weeklyShiurinTshuvos and Poskim.Rav Kivelevitz is aMaggid ShiurforDirshu Internationalin Talmud and Halacha as well as a Dayan with theBeth Din of America.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rischa D'Araisa-Season 2-Episode 6-The Only true "Gezunta Vinter" will be with Universal Healthcare and the Repeal of the Second Amendment
Rabbi Bechhofer surprises Rabbi Kivelevitz with his call for repealing the second amendment.The Rabbis debate the validity of the position staked out by Ben Shapiro and others that had the Jews not been deprived of weapons they might have resisted Kristallnacht and other pre-war horrors.Rabbi Bechhofer has utter disdain for the Saint Louis couple who brandished weapons in the face of rioters approaching their home.Kivelevitz is skeptical to his friend's insistence that providing free universal healthcare to all is a Torah command.Bechhofer refers to this passage and its conclusion in the Nishmas Avraham as indicative of the model suggested by the United Nation's declaration of Health as a basic human right.He therefore is against the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett's ascension to the Supreme Court due to her written views on Obamacare.

Standing in Two Worlds with Doctor Sam Juni -Episode 13 - Getting to Know the Professor-The Unique Vision of a Holocaust Youngest Child
Departing a bit from the heavy somber material discussed over the last few episodes,Rabbi Kivelevitz asks Doctor Juni about issues he himself has dealt with and overcome.Juni describes what it means to be the younger sibling of a gifted older brother and the psychological ramifications of that dynamic.In an almost comedic vein. the Professor recounts his discovering of his color blindness, and details the negative effects that accompany this condition.He theorizes how the absence of color nuance recognition can cause one to adopt perspectives in analysis and research that are strict and demanding,and downplay appreciation of degrees of culinary satisfaction or grasping subtle distinctions in music.Doctor Samuel Juniis one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today.He has published groundbreaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals, and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.Samuel Juni studied inYeshivas Chaim Berlinunder Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as aTalmidof Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick.ProfessorJuni is a prominent member of theAssociation of Orthodox Jewish Scientists, and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences.Associated with NYU since 1979,Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in important research.Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded onpsychometric methodologyand based on a psycho-dynamicpsychopathologyperspective.He is arguably the preeminent expert inDifferential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studiesentailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations.Professor Juni created and directed NYU's Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titledCross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments.Based inYerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors.Below is a partial list of the journalsto which Professor Juni has contributed over 120 articles.Many are available on lineJournal of Forensic PsychologyJournal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma.International Review of VictimologyThe Journal of Nervous and Mental DiseaseInternational Forum of PsychoanalysisJournal of Personality AssessmentJournal of Abnormal PsychologyJournal of Psychoanalytic AnthropologyPsychophysiologyPsychology and Human DevelopmentJournal of Sex ResearchJournal of Psychology and JudaismContemporary Family TherapyAmerican Journal on AddictionsJournal of Criminal PsychologyMental Health, Religion & CultureAs Rosh Beis Medrash, Rabbi Avraham Kivelevitz serves asRavandPosekfor the morningminyanat IDT.Hundreds of listeners around the globe look forward to his weeklyShiurinTshuvos and Poskim.Rav Kivelevitz is aMaggid ShiurforDirshu Internationalin Talmud and Halacha as well as a Dayan with theBeth Din of America.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Tshuvos and Poskim -Daled Minim on Shabbas-Rav Elyashiv's holding on for Daas
Rabbi Kivelevitz leads a ZOOM class sketching how according to the Mishnah and Talmud the Daled Minim were taken on Shabbas if that was the first day of Sukkos till the Churban occurred.The Rabbi clarifies Rambam's explanation of how that changed resulting in the almost universal not using the lulav on Shabbas in any circumstance.The episode then turns to the custom of bentching lulav in the Sukkah before Davening and the comments of Rav Moshe Feinstein Zt'l ,who queries how the principle of Tadir VeSheaino Tadir seems to have been downplayed.Kivelevitz elaborates on the custom that Rav Elyashiv adopted in the last fifteen years of his life to ostentatiously hold on to the Daled Minim on his way to Shul in the exact manner one grasps them to fulfill the Mitzvah,not in a container, despite how aesthetically pleasing it might be.The Rabbi suggests that two influences were primary in the great Posek's pivot,the Kabbalistic undrstanding of how the four species acts a a vehicle in transmission from Binah to Daas,and the publication of that volume of Rav Moshe's responsum.

Standing in Two Worlds with Doctor Sam Juni -Episode 11-Yom Kippur-Just trying to extract a true confession
Rabbi Kivelevitz queries Professor Juni concerning the psychological efficacy of using the standard liturgical text of the Yom Kippur confession or Vidui.The pair discuss if focusing so strongly on particular incorrect actions obscures the root causes behind sin.Kivelevitz wonders if an updated confessional is in order.Doctor Juni relates how the theory of cognitive dissonance plays out for many as they struggle to own up to negative behaviors that have been fostered within themselves.Kivelevitz asks Juni if he believes the method of self examination, Heshbon ha-nefesh,urged by Rav Yisroel Salanter is an accessible option for most serious persons.The practice consists of setting aside a portion of one’s day to critically consider one’s way of living. The general intention of this practice is that the practitioner make a thorough reckoning of his deeds and efforts, using a diary, that would breakdown his attitudes, and behaviors, develop an intimate familiarity with the nuances of his persona, strengths and weaknesses, and keep track of his progress towards better character or lack thereof.Doctor Samuel Juniis one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today.He has published groundbreaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals, and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.Samuel Juni studied inYeshivas Chaim Berlinunder Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as aTalmidof Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick.ProfessorJuni is a prominent member of theAssociation of Orthodox Jewish Scientists, and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences.Associated with NYU since 1979,Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in important research.Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded onpsychometric methodologyand based on a psycho-dynamicpsychopathologyperspective.He is arguably the preeminent expert inDifferential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studiesentailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations.Professor Juni created and directed NYU's Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titledCross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments.Based inYerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors.Below is a partial list of the journalsto which Professor Juni has contributed over 120 articles.Many are available on lineJournal of Forensic PsychologyJournal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma.International Review of VictimologyThe Journal of Nervous and Mental DiseaseInternational Forum of PsychoanalysisJournal of Personality AssessmentJournal of Abnormal PsychologyJournal of Psychoanalytic AnthropologyPsychophysiologyPsychology and Human DevelopmentJournal of Sex ResearchJournal of Psychology and JudaismContemporary Family TherapyAmerican Journal on AddictionsJournal of Criminal PsychologyMental Health, Religion & CultureAs Rosh Beis Medrash, Rabbi Avraham Kivelevitz serves asRavandPosekfor the morningminyanat IDT.Hundreds of listeners around the globe look forward to his weeklyShiurinTshuvos and Poskim.Rav Kivelevitz is aMaggid ShiurforDirshu Internationalin Talmud and Halacha as well as a Dayan with theBeth Din of America.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rischa D'Araisa-Season 2-Episode 2-Is the Malbim's Perush on Nach the next important work that needs to be translated?
Rabbi Bechhofer makes his case for the Perush on Nach of Rav Meir Leibish Malbim to be translated and made accessible to a non-Hebrew reading populace.Moreover, he stresses its primary significance for any serious student of Tanach and bemoans the Yeshiva world's neglect of learning the words of the Neviim in a systematic way.Rabbi Kivelevitz attempts to squelch his friend's enthusiasm by putting in perspective the historical antecedents and other works that were produced contemporaneously by other Jewish scholars that Malbim borrowed from.He also suspects that the work being rendered in a new language would run counter to one of the great author's reasons for writing the work, promoting the use of Loshon Kodesh and extend the boundaries of Rabbinic literature to prod others to pen original compositions in the grand form of the ancient prophets.The pair discuss a few other original contributors to the deepening of Daas Mikra-Shmuel Dovid Lutzatto, Rav Shamshon Rafael Hirsch, along with two professors that Kivelevitz and Bechhofer knew well from their Chicago days, Rav Hirsch Isenberg, and Doctor Avraham Lipschitz.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Standing in Two Worlds with Doctor Sam Juni -Episode 8 - What Price Longevity?
Longevity Pandora’s Box: The Burden on Family, Society, and DignityDoctor Juni is a man standing in two worlds, geographically residing inEretz Yisroelyet tethered to a distinguished career of achievement and successful family bonds in the US.The seven decades since 1950 has witnessed the sociological convulsions of race and gender identity and the ascent of relativism which upended millennia-old truths, even as it expanded a net of inclusion of the traditionally marginalized. Culturally, it resulted in two worlds of humanity whose boundaries are starkly drawn today. Prof. Juni analyzes what has happened to society and the personal experience of having existed in two drastically different worlds.Doctor Sam blessed with a capacity of detached observation and generally on the mark anticipation, has walked the divide and not fallen sway to easy platitudesthat herald a utopia to come.Persons post 65 (who, when retirement legislation was drawn up 90 years ago, were correctly seen as trodding a euphemistically described "golden path" to the grave) have benefited from scientific advancements in the understanding of disease and have easy access to the measures that stave off what in the past was the throes of death.This has led to a sharp increase in the median age of life with a much larger segment of the population post 80 than in any time in our recorded history.Many of these octogenarians are assailed by chronic health issues that put an incredible strain on the planet’s health care system as was brought to the fore with dramatic vibrancy in the first terrible weeks of Covid 19.A boon of this progress has been increased sensitivity that has been distilled to persons in middle age, leading many to gird their bodies and stimulate their minds to remain active and continue in powerful roles.This has come,however, at the expense of a more youthful majority who cannot be expected to wait for the Changing of the Guard....."from Rabbi Kivelevitz's introductionDoctor Samuel Juniis one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today.He has published groundbreaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals, and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.Samuel Juni studied inYeshivas Chaim Berlinunder Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as aTalmidof Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick.ProfessorJuni is a prominent member of theAssociation of Orthodox Jewish Scientists, and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences.Associated with NYU since 1979,Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in important research.Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded onpsychometric methodologyand based on a psycho-dynamicpsychopathologyperspective.He is possibly the world's expert inDifferential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studiesentailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations.Professor Juni created and directed NYU's Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titledCross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments.Based inYerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors.Below is a partial list of the journalsto which Professor Juni has contributed over 120 articles.Many are available on lineJournal of Forensic PsychologyJournal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma.International Review of VictimologyThe Journal of Nervous and Mental DiseaseInternational Forum of PsychoanalysisJournal of Personality AssessmentJournal of Abnormal PsychologyJournal of Psychoanalytic AnthropologyPsychophysiologyPsychology and Human DevelopmentJournal of Sex ResearchJournal of Psychology and JudaismContemporary Family TherapyAmerican Journal on AddictionsJournal of Criminal PsychologyMental Health, Religion & CulturePlease leave us a review or email us at [email protected] See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Who we've lost during Corona-HaRav Chaim Dov HaLevi Keller Zt"l-Exalted Exemplar of Emes
Rav Akiva Atlas Shlita ,a long standing member of the Telshe Kollel in Chicago, who spent close to two decades learning personally with Rav Chaim Dov Keller Zt"l,presents a Talmud muvhak's moving hesped of this extraordinary Rabbinic leader who passed away on the 27th of Av.Rabbi Atlas serves as the prime editor for the Niftar's acclaimed work on Chumash,Sefer Chidekel,and is a popular Maggid Shiur for the elite students of the school that Rav Keller helped establish,Telshe Yeshiva in Chicago.In ways that only a close student can,Rabbi Atlas presents a portrait of his Rebbe as the quintessential Ish Emes who had a refreshing realistic expectation of what a multi-faceted frum society should be like.Rav Keller served the Agudah as the premier spokesman for the tenets of Torah-True Judaism in the face of the threat of assimilation and from those he felt were intent on creating a Judaism riddled with inconsistencies and bereft of Yiraas Shamayim.Rav Chaim Dov Keller was born in 1930 in New York City and attended Yeshiva Rabeinu Yitzchak Elchanan (RIETS).Through the influence of Rav Dovid Lipschutz Zt'l and others, Rav Keller joined Telshe Cleveland and became a closetalmidof Rav Elya Meir Bloch.In 1961, Rav Keller came to Chicago and over many decades, taught Torah to thousands oftalmidim, who venerated him for his brilliance and authenticity.Rav Keller was known for his forceful and eloquent defense of "Real Yiddishkeit", and delivered what was considered the unadulterateddaas - in powerful speeches and articulate writing.He was a prominent member of theNesiusof Agudas Yisrael of America.Rav Keller’s last address was given in Telshe Yeshiva on Purim of this year, and shortly after he was stricken with COVID-19. After being hospitalized for an extended period of time, his home was converted to a quasi-hospital room, and he spent the last few weeks being cared for in his familiar surroundings and supported virtually by devoted talmidim across the globe.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Tshuvos and Poskim-The Brave and the Bold- Rediscovering Rav Shlomo Goren-Armed to the Hilt on Shabbas in 1968 Chevron
Rabbi Kivelevitz leads the Shiur in reading a few of Rav Shlomo Goren's Tshuvos that highlight his novel approach to the Halachic weight that must be accorded to the conquering and control of Eretz Yisroel,and break new ground in Hilchos Shabbas.The Warrior RabbiByAryeh TepperPraise of military virtue, prominent in the Bible, is almost non-existent in the Talmud, which, in the aftermath of the destruction of the Temple and the exile of the Jews by the Romans, either ignores wartime feats or re-interprets them as allegories of intellectual or spiritual prowess. The Talmud's relative silence on the subject would prove enduring. Until the second half of the 20th century, with few exceptions, military virtue was consistently depreciated in traditional Jewish thought.The traditionalist who reversed that trend was Shlomo Goren (1917-1994), the first chief rabbi of the Israel Defense Forces and later the third chief rabbi of the state of Israel.Goren issued several innovativehalakhicrulings dealing with military life and composed the first code of Jewish military law since Maimonides. In so doing, he brought the Jewish conception of war into the modern era.Shlomo Goren moved with his family from Zambrów, Poland, to mandatory Palestine in 1925. At the age of twelve, he was the youngest student ever to be accepted into the prestigious Hebron yeshiva.At the age of seventeen, he published his first book: a legal commentary on an abstruse topic connected to Temple sacrifices.His interests leading him beyond the four cubits of traditional Jewish law, he enrolled in the Hebrew University to study mathematics, classics, and philosophy.The young Goren was not only a wide-ranging thinker but a bold doer. In 1936, he participated in the defense of his community against Arab rioters; shortly before the outbreak of Israel's war of independence, he joined the Haganah, where he quickly established himself as an expert sniper. At war's end, the scholar-warrior who had repeatedly risked his life under fire was prevailed upon by the state's chief rabbis to answer David Ben-Gurion's call for someone to assume responsibility for religious services in the army. The rabbis might have envisioned the position as one of catering to religious soldiers exclusively, but Goren's first move was to establish himself as rabbi of the entire military. All of the IDF's kitchens were made kosher, and Jewish religious festivals were observed across the board..Goren's biggest stroke as a thinker was yet to come. It was, he argued, only the loss of political sovereignty in 70 C.E. that had compelled the rabbis of the Talmud to recast ideas of military power in spiritual terms—for instance, by emphasizing the miracle of the oil on Hanukkah and neglecting to mention the Maccabees' battlefield victory over the Greeks. But, he contended, the rabbis never meant to replace the military with the spiritual; for them, rather, military virtue was a means, not an end in itself.In composing his code of Jewish military law, Goren surmounted the difficulty presented by the lack of rabbinic legal material by expanding the boundaries of the canon and utilizing ancient historical and apocryphal sources like the works of Josephus Flavius and the Book of Maccabees. What emerged was nothing less than a new religious-national template for an era in which political sovereignty had been regained: a vision of the ideal Jew as, at once, spirited and spiritual. By means of such insights he hoped, especially after becoming Israel's chief rabbi in 1973, to influence the national consensus of the Jewish state.Goren's drive to expand the traditional canon was not limited to the laws of war. In a series of lectures on Jewish thought, he extolled the virtues of ancient Jewish and non-Jewish theologians unknown in Orthodox society, some of whose texts Goren read in the original Greek. In the field of talmudic scholarship, similarly, he championed the historically neglectedJerusalem Talmudas an important primary source. For these intellectual efforts he was awarded the Israel Prize, the state's highest honor.By the end of his career, Goren found himself cut off from the corridors of power, without a public following, and, in the last year of his life, left to rage from the sidelines against the Oslo accords.While his name is still respected in religious-Zionist circles, very few today engage with his writings and teachings. As the unacknowledged rabbinic legislator of the modern Jewish army, he lent the weight of his brio, his genius, and his immense erudition to a task ofreconciliation that few others could have performed. Of no less permanent value is his activist and indeed audacious conception of what a rabbi should and could be, and of which texts, and which human undertakings, may be embraced and endorsed by the Jewish tradition.

RambaN Vs.RambaM -Episode 9-Crafting a Hierarchy of Place: Is the Shul or Beis Medrash in the top slot?
A Shiur that mines ancient texts for illuminating new understanding and relevance!The following is a letter from Rabbi Kivelevitz the host of the program.Shalom Ubracha-It is quite unnecessaryto state here how stressful the last few months have been.AsKlal Yisroel places an immeasurable value on learning and intellectual growth, many of us have weathered this storm by entrenching ourselves deeper into our rich literary heritage, discovering insight and inspiration and using the pause of hustle bustle activity to savor new texts and articulate probing questions. The tools of teleconferencing have generated thebrachaof wide attendance inShiurimand access to the world's finest Torah teachers. Energized by these positives, I am humbly offering to partner with all of you on a venture of discovery.Over twenty-five years ago, I listenedwith rapt attention as Professor Haym Soloveichick eulogized his father. He said theRambam,Maimonides, was theGirsa DaYankusaof his father, which the prodigygrew up memorizing like nursery rhymes, with all ofMishna Torahetched in his memory and flowing easily from his lip.However,it wasin that otherMoshe, Nachmanides,that the elder Soloveichickdiscovered his intellectual approach and soul.It can be assumed that Rav Soloveichick's flowering as the premier Talmudist of our times was built in great part by contrasting the words of each of these Medieval teachers in areas they had both worked on, or whereRambanlevels his often withering criticism ofRambam's position.There are scores of examples throughout Shas,and in particular in the work Nachmanides dedicated to staking his disagreements with his Egyptian counterpart-Hasagosto theRambam'sSefer HaMitzvos.In his classic toweringPerushonChumash,Rambanforcefully attacks many ofRambam's explanations ofmitzvosand interpretations of biblical events.In the coming weeks, we can together discover anew these diamond like gems ofcodification, inquiry analysis and poetic barbsthat issued from these giants.....-armed with the salient texts, and buoyed by an enthusiasm to discover, I relish the prospect of learning with you.

On Principle-18-Challenges in Jewish Education with Rabbi Jon Kroll-Athletic Shorts- Schools filling the void left by competitive sports this coming school year
The renowned educator and Principal ofSAR High SchoolRabbi Jonathan Kroll stakes out his case for the immense positive effect having competitive sports teams has on the whole student body rippling a positive attitude and adding to school satisfactionreaching even those that are not athletes or spectators.He explains the important ethical instruction his school imparts to fans that teach students to refrain from taunting and unseemly excessive boosterism.Rabbi Kivelevitz inquires as to what sports can be safely introduced in the era of Covid-19,sans the hoped for vaccine.Kroll provides some inventive real options that could actually tee off.Rabbi Kivelevitz asks about the options available for students who are not physically gifted and live in dread of the dominance of jock culture,Rabbi Kroll describes the myriad options open for those individuals in other clubs and extra curricular activities that can receive attention and be celebrated.Kivelevitz notes that unfortunately most Yeshiva High Schools and Girls schools have very limited options in this regard,with only the financially well-off able to afford enrichment schools like SAR Frisch and Ramaz.The pair discuss how intense sports familiarity among Talmidim ,can serve as a way to impart principles of strict unbending Halachic rulings,and encourage memorization of key facts and phrases that pepper the Gemara page.Finally, Kivelevitz probes his guest about the high-schooler 's ability to sustain the "agony of defeat"and suggests an adaptation of John Updike's wise words on pet owning and the ultimate demise of loved dogs."Losing the big game and absorbing the frustration realizing how life can continue unabated will pay dividends in a young person's road into an adulthood fraught with disappointments.Our ex-athletes will not be debilitated in their consciousness and persevere",Rabbi Kivelevitz opines.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Challenges of Disability in the FamilyRabbi Kivelevitz engages Dr. Juni in a wide-ranging analysis of the experiences of individuals with developmental andpsychiatric Issues, and the effects these have on them and their families.Juni stresses the marked overlap between developmental limitations and emotional maladjustment of the family. Individuals (or victims, as he refers to them) are keenly aware when they are treated as less than people.Kivelevitz notes the progress our society has made, no longer hiding delayed family members in the closet.Religious inclusion-oriented social service agencies such as Yachad and HASC (among others) are lauded as commendable entities which offer vital resources to individuals and families dealing with developmental and psychiatric challenges.Dr. Juni steers the discussion beyond the confines of the special need population and stresses emphatically that ambivalence is an undeniable and even necessary part of any meaningful relationship."A key to dealing with problematic relationships is torecognize and integrate inevitable negative feelings," he declares.Sweeping emotions "under the rug" is seen by Juni in his professional capacity as a pattern of many families in the religious community.The professor has observed that in many cases, there is present a layer of denial characterized by sugar coating problems, being exuberant about difficult children, and maintaining theological theories which paint their travails as blessings from above.Juni worries that these submission tactics are merely functional band-aids for the short term and will turn into roadblocks to authentic healthy family adjustment in the face of near certain adversities of life..Doctor Samuel Juniis one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today.He has published groundbreaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals, and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.Samuel Juni studied inYeshivas Chaim Berlinunder Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as aTalmidof Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick.ProfessorJuni is a prominent member of theAssociation of Orthodox Jewish Scientists, and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences.Associated with NYU since 1979,Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in important research.Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded onpsychometric methodologyand based on a psycho-dynamicpsychopathologyperspective.He is possibly the world's expert inDifferential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studiesentailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations.Professor Juni created and directed NYU's Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titledCross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments.Based inYerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors.Below is a partial list of the journalsto which Professor Juni has contributed over 120 articles.Many are available on lineJournal of Forensic PsychologyJournal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma.International Review of VictimologyThe Journal of Nervous and Mental DiseaseInternational Forum of PsychoanalysisJournal of Personality AssessmentJournal of Abnormal PsychologyJournal of Psychoanalytic AnthropologyPsychophysiologyPsychology and Human DevelopmentJournal of Sex ResearchJournal of Psychology and JudaismContemporary Family TherapyAmerican Journal on AddictionsJournal of Criminal PsychologyMental Health, Religion & CulturePlease leave us a review or email us at [email protected] See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

RambaN Vs.RambaM-Episode 8-The Avodah of the Ramban-Resisting Whitewash-
This episode is dedicatedלעילוי נשמתרושֶׁל בֶּן בּרוך ע"ה תנצבצ"הMr. Roshel Shamalov on the occasion of his fifth YartzheitMay his Neshama ascend ever higher in Gan Eden.A Shiur that mines ancient texts for illuminating new understanding and relevance!The following is a letter from Rabbi Kivelevitz the host of the program.Shalom Ubracha-It is quite unnecessaryto state here how stressful the last few months have been.AsKlal Yisroel places an immeasurable value on learning and intellectual growth, many of us have weathered this storm by entrenching ourselves deeper into our rich literary heritage, discovering insight and inspiration and using the pause of hustle bustle activity to savor new texts and articulate probing questions. The tools of teleconferencing have generated thebrachaof wide attendance inShiurimand access to the world's finest Torah teachers. Energized by these positives, I am humbly offering to partner with all of you on a venture of discovery.Over twenty-five years ago, I listenedwith rapt attention as Professor Haym Soloveichick eulogized his father. He said theRambam,Maimonides, was theGirsa DaYankusaof his father, which the prodigygrew up memorizing like nursery rhymes, with all ofMishna Torahetched in his memory and flowing easily from his lip.However,it wasin that otherMoshe, Nachmanides,that the elder Soloveichickdiscovered his intellectual approach and soul.It can be assumed that Rav Soloveichick's flowering as the premier Talmudist of our times was built in great part by contrasting the words of each of these Medieval teachers in areas they had both worked on, or whereRambanlevels his often withering criticism ofRambam's position.There are scores of examples throughout Shas,and in particular in the work Nachmanides dedicated to staking his disagreements with his Egyptian counterpart-Hasagosto theRambam'sSefer HaMitzvos.In his classic toweringPerushonChumash,Rambanforcefully attacks many ofRambam's explanations ofmitzvosand interpretations of biblical events.In the coming weeks, we can together discover anew these diamond like gems ofcodification, inquiry analysis and poetic barbsthat issued from these giants.....-armed with the salient texts, and buoyed by an enthusiasm to discover, I relish the prospect of learning with you.

Fine Tuned Halacha Episode 78-Who pays for my parent's assisted living?/Can my parents dictate what graduate school I must attend/Do they have veto power over my choice of spouse?Can I shorten my difficult to pronounce last name?
Dedicated to theRefuah Shleimahof Tamar Elisheva Bas DevorahUsing material from culled from the groundbreakingTzurba M'Rabananlearning guide,Rabbi Kivelevitz leads theShiurfrom the salient Talmudic passages of who must bear the expense burden for a parent's needs through the statements of the Rashba that requests that do not directly enhance your parent's physical comfort are not part of the Mitzvah of Kibud Av.He bases his assertion on the description of the mitzvah that appears in the Gemara (Kiddushin 31b), which gives the examples of “providing food and drink, clothing them, and helping them enter and leave a building.” The class analyzes the words of Rama who quotes a ruling of the Maharik (167) that a son is not required to honor a parent’s demand that he refrain from marrying a particular woman. The Sefer Hamakneh (Kiddushin 31b )on the other hand, rules that the mitzvah of mora av va’eim (revering parents) requires one to obey a parent’s request even if it will not benefit the parent. Indeed, the Gemara (Kiddushin 31b) states that this mitzvah forbids a child to contradict his parents’ words, which, the Sefer Hamakneh believes, includes disobeying the parent’s orders.This approach is amplified by the Chazon Ish and fine tuned and codified by the latter's nephew in the Halachic classic,Chut Shani,the Peaskim ofRav Nissim Karelitz Ztz"l-Kivelevitz peppers this special episode with many real life actual situations(the desire of children to change their last name for convenience) that underscore the patent difficulty of this Mitzvah.Rabbi Avraham Kivelevitz has spent the last eight years writing and teaching for Dirshu International'sDaf Yomi B'Halacha,In general,every episode ofFine Tuned Halachadelves into an important Halachic textand extracts important nuggets of direction,history and most importantly,an understanding of how the Jewish legal system developed and continues to guide the lives of a committed people.While the learning tends to align with the seasons we find ourselves in,we are confident it will resonate well beyond the calendar into your consciousness.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Standing in Two Worlds Episode 6 with Doctor Sam Juni and Rabbi Shmuel Skaist - Homosexuality in the Religious Community - Responding with Love and clinical legitimacy
Rabbi Kivelevitz welcomes Doctor Sam Juni and Rabbi Shmuel Skaist to discuss the sea of change that has occurred in the greater society at large of the acceptance of a gay lifestyle.The attitudinal shift has been generating a crisis in the Orthodox world for close to two decades as more of its members are "coming out" or confronting the difficulty of living secreted in the midst of a society that condemns their true proclivities.Professor Juni opines on the present state of Conversion Therapy and Sexual Orientation Change Efforts(SOCE) that have been promoted by the Gedolei Yisroel as mandatory options to invoke.Juni indicates his methodological and study design critiques of the papers presented so far that purportedly suggest a strong degree of efficacy for these therapeutic interventions.All of the principals of the episode agree that in the current zeitgeist,even if an effective method could be offered,it would be condemned and demonized.Juni offers insight into Freud's view on homosexuality,and Kivelevitz suggests that the idea of gender fluidity can be channeled into forming a greater compassion for those suffering.Rabbi Skaist wonders if the frum veldt is now paying the price for years of marginalizing or ignoring gay young persons,and turning a blind eye to the bullying they were the victims of.Rabbi Kivelevitz asks both his guests if they concur with the view espoused by many intelligent compassionate Rabbis that a gay person needs to redirect their energies into other areas and accept the nature of his persona without acting on it.The panel discusses some of the options offered by progressive Rabbis that have been floated that allow inclusion into the greater religious populace.Rabbi Skaist believes that a positive by-product of this quandary will be more comprehensive teaching of sexual issues to students in the Yeshiva world,instead of absorbing attitudes and information exclusively from the media and secular outlets.Doctor Samuel Juniis one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today.He has published groundbreaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals, and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.Samuel Juni studied inYeshivas Chaim Berlinunder Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as aTalmidof Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick.ProfessorJuni is a prominent member of theAssociation of Orthodox Jewish Scientists, and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences.Associated with NYU since 1979,Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in important research.Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded onpsychometric methodologyand based on a psycho-dynamicpsychopathologyperspective.He is possibly the world's expert inDifferential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studiesentailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations.Professor Juni created and directed NYU's Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titledCross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments.Based inYerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors.Below is a partial list of the journalsto which Professor Juni has contributed over 120 articles.Many are available on lineJournal of Forensic PsychologyJournal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma.International Review of VictimologyThe Journal of Nervous and Mental DiseaseInternational Forum of PsychoanalysisJournal of Personality AssessmentJournal of Abnormal PsychologyJournal of Psychoanalytic AnthropologyPsychophysiologyPsychology and Human DevelopmentJournal of Sex ResearchJournal of Psychology and JudaismContemporary Family TherapyAmerican Journal on AddictionsJournal of Criminal PsychologyMental Health, Religion & CultureRabbi Shmuel Skaist is theRosh Yeshivaof the Yeshiva of Newark at IDT in Newark, New Jersey and a licensed therapist,employed by the Jewish Family Service of New Jersey.He holds a Master’s Degree in Clinical Counseling from Bellevue University.He served as a Senior Lecturer atOhr NaavaWomen’s Torah Center in Brooklyn, New York for seven years.He was employed as an adjunct professor for teaching women at both Yeshiva University Stern College for Women in New York and in Bar Ilan University inEretz Yisroel.He has been a much sought after Scholar in Residence in venues across the country and delivered the keynote address at many prestigious Torah themed events.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Standing in Two Worlds Episode 4-with Doctor Sam Juni PhD-Living in harmony with the Israeli Arabs-A Two State of Minds Analysis
In light of a number of essays and opinion piecespublished recently that reconsider the best options for the Jewish and Arab population in Israel to live in some state of harmony,Rabbi Kivelevitz asks Doctor Juni for his perspective.The professor responds with a cogently expressed explanation of Arab antagonism backed by surveys Juni and his wife,Esther conducted.He distinguishes between the minority struggles of Blacks in America,to Arabs living under Jewish state dominance in Eretz Yisroel.Juni's data indicating a stark increase in Islamic identification over the last decade cries out to be considered in any intelligent discussion on this matter.Kivelevitz wonders how the lack of religiosity evinced by a majority of the Jewish population helps feed the Islamic screed that our people represent an affront to God.The pair speculate to what extent the war deaths that haunt even the most liberal Jewish homes,precludes seeing the Arab as a co-citizen.Doctor Samuel Juniis one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today.He has published groundbreaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals, and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.Samuel Juni studied inYeshivas Chaim Berlinunder Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as aTalmidof Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick.ProfessorJuni is a prominent member of theAssociation of Orthodox Jewish Scientists, and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences.Associated with NYU since 1979,Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in important research.Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded onpsychometric methodologyand based on a psycho-dynamicpsychopathologyperspective.He is possibly the world's expert inDifferential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studiesentailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations.Professor Juni created and directed NYU's Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titledCross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments.Based inYerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors.Below is a partial list of the journalsto which Professor Juni has contributed over 120 articles.Many are available on lineJournal of Forensic PsychologyJournal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma.International Review of VictimologyThe Journal of Nervous and Mental DiseaseInternational Forum of PsychoanalysisJournal of Personality AssessmentJournal of Abnormal PsychologyJournal of Psychoanalytic AnthropologyPsychophysiologyPsychology and Human DevelopmentJournal of Sex ResearchJournal of Psychology and JudaismContemporary Family TherapyAmerican Journal on AddictionsJournal of Criminal PsychologyMental Health, Religion & CulturePlease leave us a review or email us at [email protected] See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rischa Daraiisa-31-Season Finale-The RCA only includes the Master's Voice-Can a Rabbinical Organization sponsor a debate on Black Lives Matter without a person of color represented?
In the last episode before a summer break,the Rabbis debate over debates.Rabbi Bechhofer believes that it is a mistake for the RCA to sponsor a "debate lishem shamayim" of how our community should relate to the Black Lives Matter movement.Bechhofer cogently describes why responses like "all lives matter" remains deeply offensive even to blacks who don't necessarily align themselves with the movement.Having a white man assume the "critical" position and another white man respond from the "sympathetic" side,can only result in a non edifying experience,along with a possible public relations debacle.Bechhofer notes that a debate by its very nature doesn't result in admission,it is staged to produce a winner,an idea he feels is antithetical to the Torah.Rabbi Kivelevitz responds with a brief examination of works of art,ancient dialogues,and classic medieval Rabbinic literature that served as a model for Rav Moshe Chaim Luzzatto's most effective works.These were all written in the form of a "vikuach" - a way to capture interest and bring home issues in a dramatic entertaining way,and lead to a thoughtful nuanced reaction by the leader/listener.Although Kivelevitz admits it would have been more prudent to have had an African-American involvement,he feels that the RCA deserve credit for tackling the issue while other Torah agencies are silent or openly hostile.While the speakers and moderator come from a white modern-Orthodox suburban world,Kivelevitz feels that the exercise is comparable to the experiment Jane Elliot administered to her young students in the wake of Dr.Martin Luther King's assassination. The all white Iowa school children were effected by "one of their own" with the aggressive first step out towards racial harmony in the"Blue Eyes/Brown Eyes Exercise."The pair agree over the dearth of solid oratory in the Rabbinic world and both give a thumbs up to the Denzel Washington vehicle-"The Great Debaters".comments and criticism welcome [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Standing in Two Worlds-Episode3-with Doctor Sam Juni PhD-A Humor-Filled Tisha BAv -a more effective way to understand and internalize Jewish pain
In this episode,recorded in the hours before Tisha BAv, Doctor Sam Juni,takes us behind the scenes of the production of his groundbreaking studies on ethnic-humor.This field was rife with speculative suggestions,Juni's empirically forged statistics have forever altered the scholarly landscape in this area.Tracing his interest in the subject to the tragicomic upbringing he had as a child of holocaust survivors,he recounts his father's devastating history and the grim jokes the elder Rabbi Juni favored and relished retelling.Under Rabbi Kivelevitz's questioning,the professor explains the theory advanced by Sigmund Freud for the "masochistic" self-effacing jokes perfected by the Jews.Juni's marking of the trail of pain anew, was abetted by the rich YIVO archives, which allowed him to conclusively move beyond Freud to a definitive description and categorization of types of humor and link them convincingly to the communities which spawned and propagated them.He has posited new motivations for ethnic humor aimed at why common societal behavior has developed, that has been accepted by serious psychologists and researchers world-wide.Professor Juni's papers have spurred the study of the humor of Latinos, Blacks, and Women to see if the conclusions drawn based on his study of Jews, hold true across many minorities or oppressed groups.Intertwined in his conclusions on victim-hood is the insight, granted Doctor Juni into the prevalence of Jews in the nascent Civil Rights Movement of the late 50's and early 60's which he shares in this discussion.Doctor Samuel Juniis one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today.He has published groundbreaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals, and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.Samuel Juni studied inYeshivas Chaim Berlinunder Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as aTalmidof Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick.ProfessorJuni is a prominent member of theAssociation of Orthodox Jewish Scientists, and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences.Associated with NYU since 1979,Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in important research.Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded onpsychometric methodologyand based on a psycho-dynamicpsychopathologyperspective.He is possibly the world's expert inDifferential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studiesentailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations.Professor Juni created and directed NYU's Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titledCross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments.Based inYerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors.Below is a partial list of the journalsto which Professor Juni has contributed over 120 articles.Many are available on lineJournal of Forensic PsychologyJournal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma.International Review of VictimologyThe Journal of Nervous and Mental DiseaseInternational Forum of PsychoanalysisJournal of Personality AssessmentJournal of Abnormal PsychologyJournal of Psychoanalytic AnthropologyPsychophysiologyPsychology and Human DevelopmentJournal of Sex ResearchJournal of Psychology and JudaismContemporary Family TherapyAmerican Journal on AddictionsJournal of Criminal PsychologyMental Health, Religion & CulturePlease leave us a review or email us at [email protected] See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

On Principle-15-Challenges in Jewish Education with Professor Chaim Saiman-Mikol Milamdai Hiskalti--Yavneh-Sura-Pumpedeisa-Villanova-Nurturing the Talmudic mind in the bastions of secular higher education
Chaim Saiman is a world renowned scholar who holds the Chair in Jewish law at Villanova University.He is the author of the book,Halakhah: The Rabbinic Idea of Law which has met with wide acclaim.Professor Saiman regularly guides law students in the finer points of contracts,insurance regulations and coverage disputes and stresses the responsibilitythat citizens have towards each other'sprivate property.He also is an instructor each semester to a select group of aspiring lawyers taking his groundbreaking courses in Jewish Law.Rabbi Kivelevitz questions Professor Saiman on the challenges and rewards of giving over information culled primarily from the Talmud and the Halachic codes to students that are representative of all walks of American life.Saiman spells out his approach for conveying honestly the finer details of sugyos to non-Jews,without resorting to obvious apologia.He articulates his case that the Yeshiva trained students in his lectures are gaining an appreciation for Gemara material in mature authentic ways that were unavailable in the Yeshivos they studied in.Taking Hashavas Aveidah and Kibbud Av as examples ,the Professor indicates how the sources studied with respect and depth yield telling precedents to the foundations of American legal principles that continue to be fleshed out by legal scholars.Saiman sees his Yeshivish students as the vanguard of a growing dynamic sort of ba’al habos, thoroughly American, assiduous and identifiable as a Charedi. It had been assumed that such a community could not exist.Roshei Yeshiva from their side and sociologist and scholars of American religion from their side each used their own language to argue that economic and educationalintegration wouldinevitably lead to social and cultural integration, making the charedi side of the equation untenable.Saiman's students have defied these expectations.They and thousands of other former Yeshiva students in the fields of medicine,engineering and the social sciences havecreateda modern, partially integrated, orthodox society that is neither Modern Orthodox nor Ultra-Orthodox.Kivelevitz wonders if this newly formed wing can meet the challenges our communities are facing in a way that is legitimate and adheres to Daas Torah while wielding an inventive power that posits Klal Yisroel as leaders in the world.Professor Saiman has served as the Gruss Visiting Professor of Talmudic Law at both Harvard Law School and the University of Pennsylvania Law School, a visiting fellow at Princeton University and a visiting professor at the University of Toronto, Bar-Ilan, Hebrew University and IDC faculties of law.Saiman sits as a rabbinical court judge (dayyan) with the Beth Din of America andservesas an expert witness in insurance law and Jewish law in federal court.Professor Saiman received his B.S. from Georgia State University, and his J.D. from Columbia University School of Law. He also studied for a number of years at Yeshivat Har-Etzion (Gush) and Yeshivat Kerem B’Yavneh in Israel. Prior to joining the faculty at Villanova, he was an Olin Fellow at Harvard Law School a Golieb Fellow at NYU Law School, a law clerk to Judge Michael McConnell on the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, and worked as a corporate associate with the firm Cleary Gottlieb in New York.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] out more about this podcast fromyeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rischa Daraissa-29-Can we blame the Chasidim for the frum veldt's lack of uniformity in following social distancing guidelines,or is it a byproduct of living in large heterogeneous enclaves?
After patting themselves on the back for anticipating yet another brouhaha in the social media world over the lack of representation of women,the Rabbis discuss why congregants in many of the Shuls in areas of a large Jewish populace(Monsey,Borough Park,Lakewood)are in large part not conforming to the social distancing guidelines of the WHO and CDC .The pair spar over the extent Chasidim are to blame for the Shul irregularities in Bechhofer's Monsey.Kivelevitz attributes what Bechhofer is seeing to the general trends that have been documented,showing that Americans are less inclined to follow scientific health advice than persons in other countries.Bechhofer questions Kivelevitz as to why in his hometown of Elizabeth,New Jersey the Jewish populace are conforming to the strictures mandated by the city's Rabbis.Please respond with your input to these issues at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rischa Daraiisa-28- Disembodied voices-Why are the Women invisible in all the frum media/Where are the realistic options for school openings in the fall?
Rabbis Bechhofer and Kivelevitz fulminate against the policy that the frum magazines have of not featuring any photos of women in their publications.The pair praise the uplifting carefully constructed content that is regularly published,including recent inspiring profiles of Rabbis Hillel Goldberg and Aryeh Zev Ginzberg, yet are confounded by the editorial policies that do not allow images of females above the age of five to appear.These are the words of Doctor Leslie Ginsparg Klein(Ph.D. from New York University), the Academic Dean of Women’s Institute of Torah Seminary/Maalot Baltimore, an Orthodox Jewishcollege for women."...in the absence of images of modest women, the only images of women that boys and girls see are those of the secular media, which are oftentimes inappropriate by Orthodox standards. From an educational perspective, boys and girls need positive images to counteract the negative images they absorb from the media, and girls need modest role models to emulate. However, there are none. Instead, there is a policy thathypersexualizes women and girls, suggesting that even their faces are obscene. Instead of absorbing the messages of images of couples and families that reflect a normal,frum, healthy lifestyle, our children read books and see advertisements that show Shabbat tables with no mothers or sisters. This reality is damaging the spiritual health of the community and making it significantly harder to properly teach the concept of a healthy tznuis and body image to girls and boys.Additionally, erasing women contributes to the mistaken perception that women in Orthodoxy are second class citizens who should not be seen and are excluded from the public sphere. It leads to feelings of disenfranchisement infrumwomen and girls.Kivelevitz and Bechhofer also discuss the options for schooling in the upcoming months in ways that align with other forward thinking on the subject.Please respond with your input to these issues at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

On Principle-14- Challenges in Jewish Education with Rabbi Dr.Zev Ellef-A real historical perspective yields stronger suggestions for the uncertainty ahead
Rabbi Doctor Zev Eleff is Chief Academic Officer of Hebrew Theological College and Associate Professor of Jewish History at Touro College. He is the author of nine books. His most recent isAuthentically Orthodox: A Tradition-Bound Faith in American Life.In a wide ranging discussion with Rabbi Kivelevitz,Rabbi Eleff recounts how the"Yeshiva-h"as H.T.C. is referred to, was able to manage through the worst days of thepandemic.While praising the technology of teleconferencing ,Eleff highlights aspects ofweaknesses in the model over and abovethose that have been pointed out by other educators.He applauds the dedicated veteran instructors who have forced themselves to learn newskills, providing an upgrade in the edification of future students.In the latter part of the episode, Rabbi Kivelevitz references Eleff'srecent article in Jewish Action Rabbi Leo Jung, Herman Wouk and their Little-Known Orthodox Societyand asks the author if the suggestion floated by the group highlighted in thearticle in the late 1940's-mainly that Orthodox institutions would be helped ifthey would be brought under one central head to make the appeal for allYeshivos, should be 2020's model.Kivelevitz wonders if this is the only realistic chance for religious schooling tocontinue unabated in the face of the economic depression the experts are predicting.Rabbi Eleff's elegant response is built on his expertise in the communal history ofAmerican Orthodoxy.In a similarly cogent vein, Eleff applies the crucial lesson that his articleunderscores,the power of laypeople, beyond the purview of an organizational umbrella, to make a pivotal mark on Jewish history in post Covid-19 life.The Rabbi supplies us with practical directives and examples that,if implemented,will unify our communities and enhance our religious sensibilities.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rischa Daraiisa-27-Call for a Revolution in Litvisha Yeshivos!Let Sefardi Bochurim and Retirees matter!
Inspired by two recent descriptions of a desire to expand learning options, one penned by a young student to Rav Moshe Tzuriel,andthe other a description of an exciting Corona era"return to the classroom " by 77 year old David Denby,Rabbi Kivelevitz lodges a complaint that the standard Yeshivos with their high powered exciting learning are not making the product available to senior citizens and discriminating against Sefardi bochurim.Please find below listener's responses(in italics) and Rabbi Kivelevitz's answers-you can be in this space as well!That was a surprisingly cynical discussion on yeshivos. Didn't seem to have a clear end game.Ireally have an issue with the way Ner Israel was run-and was a personal victim-it is hard not to be bitter.Work that I have had in recent yearsgivesme an insight into how they still operate.My main point was to make this great product truly available to allI would ask the following: Why is it that the Rav Chaim/Brisker method of learning, in only 100 years, has taken over as the seemingly sole representative style of learning gemara? Did yeshivos even exist before Cheftza and Gavra? Maybe what is needed is a restoration of the original methods of learning, rather than trying to shoehorn everyone into pilpul.Again-a good topic of discussion-Rav Zevin's Ishim Vishitos andShagar's book-Ubitoroso yehegeh-along with Marc Shapiro's book on Rav YY Weinberg are good places to gain perspective on how effective and necessary the revolution was.I think there already has been more change than you think-and the Brisker method has undergone a lot of dilutionAs to why pilpul and not Sefardi styleBekius or Sugya oriented Chasidic approach-One can read the material collected by Rav Simcha Asaf in Toldos HaChinuch BiYisroelin the sections that deal with the Maharal's call for change in instructionand read Rav YisroelSalanter's defense and passionate appeal for continuingand strengthening pilpulistic approaches that are blatantly untrue as a means of filtering young ego into ahavas haTorah-with corrections to be applied later.See in this regardIsrael Salanter, Text, Structure, Idea:The Ethics and Theology of an Early Psychologist of the Unconscious-by Hillel GoldbergYour most recent Rischa episode left me surprised. The only yeshiva I’ve ever learn at is Ohr Somayach Monsey (and its present gilgul). There have always been middle-aged and more elderly people learning in shiurim with bochurim, often with bochurim bchevrusa. I personally have a chevrusa with a nearly-70 yr old retired BT with no yeshiva experience prior to beginning learning full time five years ago. A friend of mine learned for years with a doctor, now in his eighties, who became observant and came to the yeshiva in his sixties. At one point, my shiur’s median age was probably around sixty. R’Bechhofer’s mechutan has been learning b’chevrusa with a recently-married friend of mine for around two years. Off the top of my head, I can think of eight people of this demographic ( approximately out of a total of 100 affiliated with the yeshiva, Kollel, and semicha program), around half of whom are FFB, who have been learning on campus.You are blessed indeed to have been part of such an institution-and they are to be commended-It is definitelynot the norm,and many of the elite schools boast incredible magideishiur-who should have those older fellows sitting in the front rowI guess a BT yeshiva is an exception to this norm. I always assumed I’d be able to return to learning in a yeshiva/Kollel setting upon retirement. Is this not the case?No one will kick you out of the building-as the situation stands now=efforts will not be made to integrate you into the youthful student body-and if the dismissive arrogance towards the older generationthat seems to be the standard stock of millenials continues to fester-don't expect to swim right away unless you knock them off their socksOutside of a BT yeshiva, what learning options are for the retired? Just chevrusas or specialized kolelim for them?That's why we did the Show-to start a grass roots movement and outcry against this ageismI am confused about the specifics of the problem. Is the lack of elderly in yeshivos simply because it’s culturally not what is done in yeshivish circles (why?),The point of the experience is to mold them for the future-create a type of Rebbe or Rosh KollelandBaalei Batim who will support the cause-not just for Ahavas HaTorah and there tobe aShaar Mitzuyin in HalachaRYGB gave you his theory on air..I think everyone fears the x-factor...so the yeshivos don’t try to attract them and they consequently feel unwelcome and refrain from participating? Or are they actively being excluded from yeshivos?I'm not sure if the two ways you present them are that differentAs in,they are deliberately excluded after inquiring about joining shiur.I don't have hard data-yet I would bet that the answer is yes-maybe couched with a modicum of respect and suggestions for other less intense and fruitful options See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rischa Daraiisa-Bonus Episode-26-Is it just monuments being dismantled in America?
Rabbi Mark Gottlieb,senior director of the Tikvah fund and respected intellectual spokesman responds toRabbis Kivelevitz and Bechhofer's Rischa Daraiisa 23 and Rabbi Chanina Weissman's call for Orthodox Jews to respond to the writing on the wall and move to Eretz Yisroel.Joining Rabbi Kivelevitz on a special mid-week episode,Gottlieb makes an impassioned reasoned plea to understand and preserve the values the United States was founded on that are shared with the ones espoused in the Torah and Neviim. He voices his worry over the erosion of crucial order and respect for divergent views that seems to be evaporating.Rabbi Kivelevitz and his guest discuss how the nuanced patriotism advocated by Rav Samson Raphael Hirsch translates into respect for the ideals of America's Founding Fathers and what appropriate Jewish attitudes should be.Rabbi Gottlieb invokes interesting Biblical precedent for adopting a holistic yet critical eye on the injustices that were sanctioned as part of the ugly past of this country without undermining the inspired core principles that the founding of the Republic embodied.Please leave us a review at [email protected] more information on this podcastvisit yeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The Chavrusa-Episode- 11-Rabbi Kivelevitz Vs Rabbi Worch on Changing society's view of Summer
Rabbi Kivelevitz uses the secondary crisis of crowding in summer vacation spots during Covid 19,as a pretext to revive his old debate with Rabbi Worch over eliminating the notion of a long summer vacation from school.Throughout the last century there have been calls to alter a system based on an outmoded agrarian society where children were needed for labor in their parents fields.The system of the long stretch of school year followed by months of idleness for many disadvantaged children has already had severe consequences on America's educational standing in the world.Rabbi Kivelevitz points out how the adoption of this model into Jewish life consistently runs counter to the mourning period of the Three Weeks,and builds unrealistic summer hopes and demands by children for the families to engage in long expensive trips.Rabbi Worch counters by extolling the bonding that occurs between parents and children over this long extended period.He further states that children need to harbor dreams of an amazing extended summer as an incentive to apply themselves properly.Kivelevitz cites the positive effect on energy use staying closer to home will have during abbreviated vacations staggered throughout the year.Another result,he claims will be greater familiarity with persons in your immediate community, a solid recipe for more proactive positive citizenry.Worch believes that these plans are unrealistic and would not be accepted anyhow.Kivelevitz points to the changes society has absorbed so quickly during the pandemic as proof that if persons realize how crucial change is they can make it happen with alacrity.After listening to the program-please forward your views on the summer shake-up proposition of Rabbi Kivelevitz and how you are making use use of these weeks of relaxation within the confines of the health emergency that still rages.Please leaveusa review or email us [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Conserving Torah-7-with Rabbi Mark Gottlieb-The resolution of Korach's revolt- -Beauty is the disarming savior
Rabbi Mark Gottlieb is Senior Director of the Tikvah Fund and founding Dean of the Tikvah and Maimonides Scholars at Yale University. Prior to joining Tikvah, Rabbi Gottlieb served as Head of School at Yeshiva University High School for Boys and Principal of the Maimonides School in Brookline, MA.His writing has appeared inFirst Things,Public Discourse,the University Bookman,the Algemeiner,andthe Jewish Review of Books. Rabbi Gottlieb is a member of the Orthodox Forum Steering Committee and serves on the Editorial Committee ofTradition: A Journal of Orthodox Jewish Thought.With great subtlety,Rabbi Gottlieb uses the denouement of the Biblical narrative of this first class revolution,as an important response to the discord and anger that pervades our present time.Much more than a summary of a long ago struggle,and how it was put down by the ultimate authorities,Gottlieb's retelling and sketching of structure plus context serves as a heady rebuke to both sides in America's current combat zone.Basing his premise on the words of Fyodor Dostoevsky,Gottlieb invokes the novelist Gregory Wolfe who wrote in his 2014 book,Beauty Will Save the World: Recovering the Human in an Ideological Age“Whereas I once believed that the decadence of the West would only be turned around through politics and intellectual dialectics,I am now convinced that authentic renewal can only emerge out of the imaginative visions of the artist and the mystic . . . it involves the conviction that politics and rhetoric are not autonomous forces but shaped by the prepolitical roots of culture: myth, metaphor, and spiritual experience as recorded by the artist and the saint.”Gottlieb tempers his message with the directives put forth by the director of social, cultural, and constitutional studies at the American Enterprise Institute and the editor ofNational Affairs Yuval Levin in his recent book,A Time To Build to consistently provide arguments to our youth that are not rejected as hollow sloganeering to preserve power.The Yeshiva of Newark @IDT is proud to partner with Rabbi Gottlieb in sharing his insightsand thoughtsto as wide an audience as possible .We thank the Tikvah Fund for use of this materialPlease visithttp://tikvahfund.orgto discover the richness of the programs and educational opportunitiesoffered by that institution as well as scintillating lectures and interviewsPlease leaveusa review or email us [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rischa Daraiisa 25-Is the lawsuit filed against Governor Cuomo to keep the summer camps open a blatant Chilul Hashem?
Energized by an endorphin releasing post-midnight workout,Rabbi Bechhofer begins this episode all guns firing, against the lawsuit filed in Federal Court against New York's Governor,Andrew Cuomo.The suit was brought by the Association of Jewish Camp Operators and demanded “declaratory and injunctive relief from constitutional deprivations,” after the state had announced a ban on sleepaway camps this summer because of the coronavirus pandemic.The language of the complaint,pennedby AJCO's legal counsel Avi Schick,(son of the noted Askan Marvin Schick Z''l) reads in part “for more than one hundred years, Jewish overnight camps have provided an immersive, seamless Jewish experience to their campers whose parents choose Jewish camping for their children. Every summer, tens of thousands of Jewish children in New York State benefit from the 24/7 immersive camp experience which offers them the opportunity to not only observe their religious practices but to live them. Jewish overnight camps foster a sense of cultural identity and instill traditional religious values in Jewish children. In Jewish overnight camps, they jointly recite prayers three times a day. Part of every day is devoted to religious study. They recite blessings over the food they eat throughout the day. They observe the weekly Shabbos. They learn about Jewish history, Jewish customs and Jewish heroes....the need for Jewish overnight camps is particularly true this summer, after several months of shutdowns of the yeshiva schools, to provide for the structured Jewish learning and living offered by the Jewish overnight camps....."Bechhofer discounts the argument,claiming that advancements in creative school programming since the 1960's and 70's,the expansion of Orthodox Jewish life into sylvan suburban areas,and the tendency of many Yeshiva schools to offer instruction into the late summer have bolstered the total educational picture for the majority of youngsters. He considers the lawsuit's claim to be a gross exaggeration.to say the least.Bechhofer's wrath is particularly stoked by this section of the camp owner's argument,"...On June 12, 2020, Defendant announced that overnight camps would be closed for the summer of 2020 under his COVID-19 orders, without making any exceptions for Jewish overnight camps, notwithstanding that these overnight camps involve core religious exercise...In contrast, Defendant has made a broad First Amendment exception from his COVID-19 orders for First Amendment activities that he favors.... In particular, Defendant has created a de facto exemption from his COVID-19 orders for mass demonstrations, explicitly proclaiming agreement with the message invoked by the protestors and actively encouraging the mass gatherings. Defendant has done so even though these mass protests pose greater risks of the transmission of COVID-19 than do Jewish overnight camps.Here Bechhofer stridently pronounces this argument to be a "Chilul Hashem" at the greatest levels. The equating of the public's justified disgust with police brutality and its subsequent organic reaction, with the greedy desires of Jewish businessmen is vile and feeds into the worst anti-Semitic stereotypes.Bechhofer asserts that the groundswell of this relentless push to defy the health authorities who are sincerely trying to guide us through the Covid-19 nightmare,has reached a nadir with the Yated Neman's publishing of this poem and repulsive caricature which depicts the governor pressing his knee into the neck of an anguished small child whose word balloon reads "I can't breathe".Bechhofer applauds the open criticism the Yated's move engendered,singling out the opinion essay of frequent Agudah mouthpeice Rabbi Avi Shafran.[On June 28th-The Yated Ne'eman's officialtwitter feed-posted a note saying that the cartoon and poem accidentally was published,and does not meet the standards of the paper.]Kivelevitz questions the Chilul Hashem aspect and objects to the lawsuit as expending Jewish political interest for a cause that isn't crucial when the big picture is considered.There are sure to be situations in the future when our community will need to marshal accumulated "protectzia" that this move will seriously deplete.With his co-host fully animated with animus,Kivelevitz ,attempts to engage Bechhofer in seeing an aspect of the law suit that has merit....Defendant also has allowed a wide array of similar, secular activities to remain open, such as numerous “non-essential” businesses and entities, child care services for “essential” workers, summer day camps, and special education services, provided that such entities follow health-related guidelines issued by the New York Department of Health to prevent the transmission of COVID-19.Unlike all of those entities, Defendant has not allowed Jewish overnight camps to adopt and implement health-related guidelines that would permit them to operate while balancing the twin goals of health and safety ...."and while Kivelevitz finds it regretful that the plaintiffs chose such an aggressive legal recourse,believes it prudent to read the interview published by Hamodia where Avi Schick responds to the fair questions posed to him.Please leave us a review [email protected] more information on this podcastvisityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

One on One with Charlie Harary-Episode 11- Even with Social Distancing in Place-Dating and Shidduchim-Full Steam Ahead!
Charlie Harary internationally known investor, strategic adviser and professor and motivational speaker sits down when his schedule allows with Rabbi Kivelevitz to discuss the interface of Jewish values in the greater western World and a touch of sports.With social interaction being severely curtailed during the Pandemic, many are proceeding through the Shidduch process hardly spending any actual time in each other's presence.Other couples who met in person before the lock down are now finding the new situation stressful and unnerving.Rabbi Kivelevitz suggests to Charlie that there might be trouble ahead when the vaccine arrives, and the boy and girl are operating under wholly different dynamics."Should we put dating on hold for a while?",he asks.Charlie argues forcefully for proceeding, despite the difficulties spawned by Covid 19.He actually sees benefits for meeting first without the accompanying tinsel and superficiality. He believes the seriousness that has permeated into our lives will result in more meaningful conversation and less coquettish posturing.He invokes the model of the young Jews from the DP camps who immediately began forming families, despite the uncertainty that lay ahead of them, and Kibbutzniks in Eretz Yisroel who understood that the tribe needed to be expanded despite being surrounded by hostile Arab forces bent on their destruction.The Rabbi and Charlie quibble if the antecedents are truly apt for this period,with Kivelevitz pointing to the directive of Amram during the dark days of the terror in Miyzrayim,and discounting Miriam's vigorous rebuttal.Rabbi Kivelevitz steers Charlie into devoting the final section of the episode into a primer for what a young Jewish woman should be asking her perspective suitor, and tips for listening and observing.Charlie makes a balanced call for parental involvement as well in his blueprint for the trials and triumphs that wait in the future.

Tshuvos and Poskim-They're Not Just Beasts of Burden Anymore-"Lifting" the Ban on Muktzeh
Rabbi Kivelevitz leads a ZOOMShiur that discovers in the words of some Ashkenazi Rishonim the nascent perspective of animals as items of enjoyable utility for humans.Rav Shimshon of Sens , Rav Yosef Bechor Shor,and Rav Chaim Ohr Zerua all suggest that Halacha should not consider them Muktzeh on Shabbas.Kivelevitz connects these strands with the statements of Psak and direction given by Rav Moshe Feinstein,Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerabach,Rav Mordechai Eliyahu,and Rav Aharon Lichtenstein that should usher in a lifting of the Muktzah Ban on household pets.The episode concludes with a survey of the history of responsa dealing with allowing a blind person to enter the synagogue with his seeing -eye dog and highlights the forward empowering stance of Rav Moshe Feinstein towards persons with disabilities.Kivelevitz provides the background for the unusual civil court case that Rav Yosef Dov Soloveichick of Boston was called on to provide expert advice.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] out more about this podcast fromyeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rischa Daraiisa-24-Spurning Dveikus -Is Diaspora Jewry making excuses for not fulfilling the Mitzvah of Yishuv Eretz Yisroel?
Rabbis Kivelevitz and Bechhofer -respond to listeners' comments and critique of Rischa Daraiisa 23 where halachic and sociological rationale was offered for not moving to Eretz Yisroel.The conversation becomes quite heated with the Rabbis arguing over the meaning of the Ramban and Rabbeinu Chaim Kohen's positions.Whether Rav Moshe Feinstein's defense of the Rambam's reason for not counting Yishiv Eretz Yisroel as a Mitzvah, is considered a sufficient explanation for the entrenchment of Diaspora Jewry is similarly debated.The Rabbis agree on why Tzitzis,despite being a Mitzvah Kiyimus ,has been virtually accepted as if it is binding on all males.Kivelevitz elaborates why a similar mindset has not taken root for living in Eretz Yisroel.Bechhofer's insistence on a person pursuing the status of a Mashpia,and staying in the place where they are being marbitz Torah, is countered by Kivelevitz by the examples of Rav Elyashiv Zt''l and Rav Chaim Kanyevski Shlita who shunned public positions.The pair discuss the differences and risks between youthful and older immigrants to Eretz Yisroel with scientific data indicating how risky a move at a later age can be if not buoyed by support from an institution or a healthy retirement fund.Bechhofer puts Kivelevitz on the defensive for being evasive and equivocal in his own explanation of why he hasn't picked up stakes and headed Mizrach,at one point comparing him to former President Bill Clinton.He further assails him for harboring over romantic delusions of grandeur for thinking that he would have written important scholarly works had he lived in Eretz Yisroel through the years.Kivelevitz reminds his co-host how the ultimate imperatives of constant Torah study and Dveikus to God are more accessible in that environment.and how he is certain that he would have discovered kindred spirits and mivakshei daas who shared his love of honest textual analysis.Reading from his letter to another listener,Kivelevitz states, "...despite the uglypolarizationthat seems to perpetuate exponentially into the social fabric of the Medinah,a strong unifying senseof shared victim hood consistently rises to the top during crisis and reveals greater bonds.....cogent Limud HaTorah will always shatter partitions and make externals irrelevant..."Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] find out more about our podcastsvisityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Tshuvos and Poskim-"Petty-ness"and Psak-Dog Owning in Halacha
Rabbi Kivelevitz leads a ZOOM Shiur through the salient sources regarding dog ownership in Chazal,starting with the Medrash that posits dog-human companionship as the act of God to guide Kayin through danger.Passages from the Talmud in Baba Kama are succinctly fleshed out for the communal responsibilities that are laid down there for dog owners.The Rabbi also highlights Chazal's warnings of moral deterioration that can develop from an over involvement with the canines.Kivelevitz discovers the rationalizations given by the early Achronim(Rav Yehoshua Boaz and Rav Shlomo Luria)for the flaunting of the Talmud's strictures for possessing dogs that was common in Ashkenazi society, and stresses the codification of Rav Shnuer Zalman of Liadi in this matter.The lecture ends on an analysis of Rav Yaakov Emden's Tshuva ,which lambastes Jews who keep pets in the strongest terms.Kivelevitz sees in Emden's words the indicators and worries of a Rabbi confronting an enlightenment culture whose appeal was tantalizing for formerly oppressed non citizens.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] out more about this podcast fromyeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The Chavrusa-Episode 9-Rabbi Kivelevitz Vs.Rabbi Worch on whether we need to loosen the rigid dress expectations of religious society
Weeks of lockdown, quarantine and social distancing has generated a reexamination of society's dress codes across the gamut of industry, social services and politics.in this episode the Rabbis debate whether a cudgel and chisel should be taken to the firmly established expectations of appearance in the Orthodox world.Rabbi Worch cites the mantra of the Sefer HaChinuch how persons are altered by consistent external actions into elevated noble beings.Rabbi Kivelevitz dismisses the application of the Chinuch's social theory to inherently illogical strictures, and argues for Rabbanim and Talmidim to be revered or vilified due to their behavior, and not beard length or shirt color.He cites Rav Aharon Lichtenstein as a paradigm of a Gadol,lamdan and Tzadik who did not sport a beard even in his later years when he was recognized as the leader of Dati Leumi Judaism,and respected in all corners of the Yeshiva intellectual world.Worch feels that it was precisely due to Lichtenstein's superior mind and moral character that he could dispense with the norms of culture, while the general populace needs to adhere and support what has arisen organically as the expected uniform for the field of endeavor and community a person chooses to be a part of.Kivelevitz feels that Lichtenstein should serve as an example that we should return to a pre World War II model, where the goatees and light colored suits that adorned the Lithuanian Yeshiva students and their Rabbinic mentors, thrived alongside the long beards and severe black frocks of the insular Chasidic community.The loosening of what are often arbitrary demands of appearance,can lead to the incorporation of a much larger swath of committed persons into a unified Klal Yisroel.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] out more about this podcast fromyeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

After listening to this episode-please send in your opinion to [email protected] whether the Rischa Team could thrive in Eretz Yisroel having a larger impact than staying in the United States.There have been many calls for viewing the last few months as a clarion call for Mashiach.The strident columns penned by Rabbi Chananyah Weissman calling for Jews in America to plan their evacuation from the U.S.and begin resettlement in EretzYisroel have been widely circulated.Weissman,on the heels of the recent social unrest and protests wrote a passioned histrionic piece entitled"Why do Orthodox Jews want to stay in America?",warning of the dismantling of the safeguards of society to the peril of the Bnei Yisroel.(The full text can be found at Orthodox Jews against Discrimination and Racism.)Both Rabbis Kivelevitz and Bechhofer dismiss Weissman as an extremist, and instead discuss calmly if the forced lockdowns and weakening of schools should push younger persons who are able to plan their Aliyah.Rabbi Bechhofer succinctly reviews the Halachic opinions if one is bound to move to Eretz Yisroel,now that free immigration is offered to all Jews.He claims persons who are engaged in important Harbatzas HaTorah and are thriving have no responsibility to forsake their life calling to merely subsist without honor in the Holy Land.Rabbi Bechhofer asserts that both he and Kivelevitz would be considered men of mere average ability in the midst of the towering scholarship that flourishes in every corner of Yerushalayim and Bnei Brak.Furthermore due to their eccentricities,they would never find a following or create a successful Yeshiva in the highly polarized judgmental atmosphere that permeates the country.Kivelevitz thinks Bechhofer is selling himself short,and points out that the activities both of them are managing in America hardly qualify as crucial work on behalf of the less learned of our people.He cites the example of many Rabbis who adopted the strict mores of dress that was expected of them in Eretz Yisroel,yet remained true to their essence.They were capable of disseminating their unique approach in that environment to truly appreciative knowledge loving students and chaverim .Those Rabbanim submitted to the small minded dress expectations, yet gained in self fulfillment.Why not two sixtyish red headed fellows like themselves?Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Charlie Harary internationally known investor, strategic adviser and professor and motivational speaker sits down when his schedule allows with Rabbi Kivelevitz to discuss the interface of Jewish values in the greater western World and a touch of sports.Rabbi Kivelevitz discusses with Charlie the important lessons he garnered from the ESPN production of the Last Dance.Charlie is an unapologetic sports fan, and beyond being an admirer of the greatness displayed in the series, he takes inspiration in the ways Micheal Jordon and others overcome adversity to become champions.He zeroes in on the key components that allow those at the top of their sport to rise above the limits of their bodily talent, and believes that they can be translated to any field.In an interesting twist of the phrase in the Zohar "Istakal Baraaisa Bara Alma",Charlie distills the positives of a world wide phenomena, and suceeds in melding the figure of the icon Micheal Jordan with the great heroes of Klal Yisroel.Rabbi Kivelevitz pushes back a bit on Charlie concerning the methods Jordon used to motivate, including dressing down and insulting team mates and wonders if the Bulls Superstar can indeed be a model for leadership.

On Principle-11-with Rabbi Shmuel Skaist-Why Women's Seminaries aren't planting real Ahavas HaTorah
Rabbi Shmuel Skaist is the Rosh Yeshiva of the Yeshiva of Newark at IDT in Newark, New Jersey.He holds a Master’s Degree in Clinical Counseling from Bellevue University.He served as a Senior Lecturer at Ohr Naava Women’s Torah Center in Brooklyn, New York for seven years.He was employed as an adjunct professor for teaching women at both Yeshiva University Stern College for Women in New York and in Bar Ilan University in Eretz Yisroel.He has been a much sought after Scholar in Residence in venues across the country and delivered the keynote address at many prestigious Torah themed events.In addition to his administrative and teaching duties,Rabbi Skaist is a licensed therapist,employed by the Jewish Family Service of New Jersey.On the heels of various reporting indicating that countries led by women are faring better in the pandemic than men, Rabbi Kivelevitz suggests we should re-examine how the Orthodox world is educating its women members.Rabbi Skaist ,drawing on his rich experience in women's education,articulates what he sees as lacking in most of the higher education institutions dedicated to women's learning.Citing a number of instructive examples from his own teaching observations,as well as trends he has noticed in his daughters schooling ,he bemoans the lack of Ahavas HaTorah for its own sake.He eschews any feminist agenda,yet argues passionately for Talmudic learning to be offered to and encouraged for female students,especially women who are discovering Torah after years of immersion in high level secular education in the sciences.He also believes that most girls are receiving a strong secondary message alongside the Torah in the classrooms.That the main role of a good Jewish woman is to be a submissive housewife and enable her husband's Torah growth.Rabbi Kivelevitz,informed by the article by Rivka Press Schwartz,describing the approach of Rebbetzin Chayah Ausband A'h,wonders if her success in inculcating deep love of Torah learning,cannot be replicated even in institutions wary of introducing Talmud study for their female attendees.The episode ends with an important comment heard in the name of Rav Yisroel Chait that makes a claim for women's Torah study as a means to Ahavas Hashem as per the Rambam's formulation in Sefer HaMitzvos.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] out more about this podcast fromyeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rischa Daraiisa-22-Reprimanding and upbraiding a Racist Rabbi
Rabbis Kivelevitz and Bechhofer stridently condemn the opinion piece published by Rabbi Moshe Ben Chaimin his on line Mesora.org magazine.Ben Chaim's essay,which Kivelevitz deems a screed,displays great insensitivity and recycles standard condescending racist attitudes. Ideas,both Rabbis insist,that need to be stamped out and denied a public forum.Rabbi Bechhofer describes the racist attitudes that still prevail in his home town of Monsey in the populace and in the police as part of the larger ugly prejudice in our country.Kivelevitz believes Bechhofer hasn't gone far enough,and while condemning the violence protesters have unleashed against police and private property,cites the instructive opinion essay penned by David Remnick and the approach offered by Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. when he addressed the American Psychological association in September, 1967 in understanding social unrest and vandalism."Urban riots", King said, “may be deplored, but . . . they are not insurrections. The rioters are not seeking to seize territory or to attain control of institutions. They are mainly intended to shock the white community. They are a distorted form of social protest.” Even looting, he insisted, is an act of catharsis, a form of “shocking” the white community “by abusing property rights.”King quoted Victor Hugo to deepen his point: “If a soul is left in the darkness, sins will be committed. The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but he who causes the darkness.”Kivelevitz goes further in calling for education beginning at the youngest age in Yeshivos to breed tolerance acceptance and love for all mankind,including teaching the role slavery played in entrenching the odious attitudes that still filter in to our interactions today with persons of color.The Charedi schools remain neglectful in planting positive attitudes towards the African American wider community in their students.Bechhofer attempts to see the fault lines for this development in the change of emphasis Rav Yitzchack Hutnerbegan in the 1950's when he rejected Rav Kook's inclusive agenda in favor of the Torah-only position of the Chazon Ish.Hutner's Chaim Berlin produced many of the most important Jewish educators of the second half of the 20th century.These administrators worked with blinders on,Bechhofer implies,and ignored the human compassion for others the Torah emphasizes.Kivelevitz is quite skeptical in assuming that the roots for endemic distrust and enmity lie in such a subtle source.He does however describe how his Yeshiva high school education was laced with vile anti African American attitudes,and he often heard degrading racial epithets in Ner Israel bandied about by the Rabbeim.He describes his childhood in Memphis,living in a neighborhood that due to white flight had become predominantly African American.The lessons of friendship and commonality he gained from his pleasurable innocent interactions with neighbors was cemented and enhanced by his Eastern European refugee father's displays of benevolence towards the Kivelevitz's African American tenants.The elder Kivelevitz instructed his son that they were victims who were caught in a grip of poverty and frustration.Sadly,that harmonious attitude was drummed out of him by his immersion in the Baltimore Yeshiva.The school's zeitgeist was rife with the residue of anger lingering from the mid 1960's when ruthless attacks were perpetrated on Yeshiva students on the Garrison Boulevard campus.The Rabbis make a pitch to share the ideals espoused in the Facebook group Bechhofer formedOrthodox Jews against Discrimination and Racism.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

He is frequently consulted on issues of Jewish law from representatives of all streams of Judaism and responds from an explicit and uncompromised Orthodox stance.In a striking exhaustive lecture given in August 2006 at Congregation Shaarei Tefillah in Newton, MA Rabbi Klapper dissects the salient texts where Rav Menachem Meiri espouses a novel tolerance and appreciation of Medieval Christianity.He weighs the possibilities of using this minority opinion as the basis for modern legal decisions.Over the almost two hour presentation,Klapper explains how he believes Moshe Halbertal has erred in tracing the source for the Meiri's statements as his philosophical orientation drawn from the Maimonidean philosophic tradition.Rabbi Klapper also brings to the forefront other modern Rabbinic champions of tolerance who reshaped the concept of aivah and Darchei Shalom in ways that can indeed govern our attitude and upgrade our behavior,and call for a halachic shift in relation to the majority world religions of today.The Yeshiva of Newark @IDT is proud to partner with Rabbi Klapper to help spread his scholarly thoughtful ideas and Halachic insight to as wide an audience as possible .Please visithttp://www.torahleadership.org/for many more articles and audio classes from Rav Klapper and to find out about his Summer programs as well as Rabbi Klapper's own podcast sitehttps://anchor.fm/aryeh-klapper.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Proper Policing-When should the Cops be stopped in the name of the Divine Law! Recommendations of the Chief(Rabbi) Rav Yitzchak Aizik Halevi Herzog Zt"l's
In light of the sharp focus on the methods of law enforcement in the Unites States,Rabbi Kivelevitz leads the Shiur through the exploratory guidelines suggested by the modern state of Israel 's first Chief Rabbi Rav Yitzchak Aizik HaLevi Herzog.The class includes vivid descriptions of the common domestic disruptions police are called on and the valuable benefit their intervention brings.The direct links to Pikuach Nefesh are traced with novel Halachic justifications for a range of activities,from patrolling.arresting and writing a report on Shabbas.Rav Herzog suggests an important interpretation of Rambam's rationale for an armed ad hoc militia returning from battle with all their weaponry,though this might entail carrying the items through a Reshus HaRabim.The Chief Rabbi explores the applicability of the Shabbas principle,"Shneim Sheasaua" ,and the parameters of the Malacha of Koseiv discovering a leniency in his expert reading of the sources in Shulchan Oruch.This impacts the writing of reports subsequent to the criminal incident,which the Rav argues is crucial for an effective judicial system to try and punish offenders.Although written over sixty five years ago ,the Tshuvah is more than an important historical document reflecting life in the fledgling Medinah,it elevates and extols the crucial role law enforcement officers serve in protection of life and limb,while demanding they conform to the dictates of our overreachingTorah mandates.Please leaveusa review or email us [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The Chavrusa-Episode 7-Rabbi Kivelevitz Vs.Rabbi Worch on the lack of support displayed by the Orthodox towards the African American community
Rabbi Kivelevitz and Rabbi Worch argue if the Orthodox world is doing enough to show solidarity with the African American community in general and in particular in response to the brutal murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis.Rabbi Worch invokes historical precedent from the time of Achashveeirosh where the Jewish advisors to the Persian King demurred from offering advice on Vashti's fate,to justify caution in speaking out.He advocates for quiet social support to the underprivileged without fanfare.Rabbi Kivelevitz believes that the social realities and interconnection of today's world demand a quick positively worded response from all the major Orthodox organizations,and silence on that front reveals not only a moral lacking,it could reverberate in the future with reprisals directed against the frum veldt.The discussion ranges from emphasizing the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.in the Yeshiva schools,to eliminating predatory real estate practices,and working harder in establishing relationships to African American religious leaders,despite past unfair treatment.Kivelevitz reiterates that we must accept that a double standard is in place for our community to exemplify the best character traits and work harder at recognizing the common histories of persecution Jews and Blacks have faced.The pair speak about educating our citizens from the youngest ages of the Tzelem Elokim,and the particular evils of slavery whose residual hatred still flares through Western society.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

On Principle-10 Challenges in Jewish Education with Rabbi Elisha Paul-Out of Town Chinuch-Lessons from the hinterlands might be the solution for Schools Post Covid-19
Rabbi Elisha Paul is the Head of School of Addlestone Hebrew Academy in Charleston,South Carolina.He has held similar senior posts in Atlanta's Yeshiva High School,and the Jewish High School of Connecticut located in Stamford.He also served as director of Sulam, a K-12 Jewish special education inclusion program for students with disabilities serving the Greater Washington metropolitan area.Rabbi Kivelevitz contacted Rabbi Paul due to his extensive experience in crafting models for providing Chinuch in areas outside the major Jewish centers.Rabbi Paul shares his educational philosophy for these schools that by necessity are made of a very diverse student body religiously. He elaborates on the keys for successful cooperation with parents and staff retention.Paul opens up to Kivelevitz recounting the challenges his family has faced living in cities with limited Jewish resources,along with the unexpected benefits of interacting with a more genteel general populace.He also sounds a very clear message for the future of Jewish education in the post Pandemic period,laying out in a cogent fashion the probabilities of what Jewish schools will look like.Rabbi Kivelevitz questions Rabbi Paul on the extent his experience in special education has impacted his overall approach to running a school.Paul responds with an illustrative example that should inspire administrators to pursue the compassionate individualistic choices that result in Kiddush Shem Shamayim and Kavod HaBrios .A person with deeply held convictions,a wealth of experience and self effacing humor,Elisha Paul's message deserves to be heard with the gravitas of his biblical namesake.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rischa Daraiisa-20-Is Covid 19 crafting a more positive picture in the Shidduch process?
In a rambling conversation,the Rabbis discuss the comments of Rav Yaakov Moshe Hillel and Rav Ephraim Wachsman that find the system in place for young frum persons to arrange dates Halachically unacceptable.Shidduch resumes that lay out the basic facts of the prospect(age,schooling,ambitions,friends and Hashkafah)are expected to include a photograph that will highlight the person's attractiveness.When these are passed along ,especially in our cyber-world,this causes unnecessary Histaklus by male parties,and results in a degradation to the modest young women who find themselves having to submit a "beauty shot" or risk not finding a Chasan.Rabbi Kivelevitz asks Rabbi Bechhofer what steps he feels can be taken to correct the problem.They discuss the awkward ways matches have proceeded since the Lithuanian/Non Chasidic communities became more acculturated to Western ideas of general appearance and romantic notions.Bechhofer mentions the letters written by Rav Avraham Eliyahu Kaplan to his Kalah before their marriage,as well as those written by a young Rav Aharon Kotler to his bride to be,Chana Perl Meltzer.He also reveals the real reason so many Litvisha bochurim did not marry until they were into their late twenties or thirties.Rabbi Kivelevitz attempts to link this to the refusal of so many Litvish women,many married to Talmeidei Chachamim, to properly cover their hair .He also cites the dating customs of religious youth in America in the 1940's and 50's,and Rav Moshe Feinstein's insistence that there be a mixed young person's table at his own daughter's wedding in order to facilitate the socialization necessary to lead to happy marriages.The co-hosts disagree if there will be a lasting effect from the enforced isolation which has forced couples to meet through ZOOM in a way that is actually giving the young person images of a possible intended without artifice and trappings .Bechhofer refers to Vogue Magazine's recent cover ,as indicative of the trend,yet believes things will revert to what they were when normal social interactions are sanctioned.Please leaveusa review or email us [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rabbi Avraham Kivelevitz presents appreciations ofGedolei Deahand Halacha-Leaders in Torah andAvodahthat have passed away during the Corona Pandemic.This episode is meant to serve as aHespedforthe intellectual giant,Rav Nochum Eliezer Rabinovich Zt"lהרב הגאון פוסקמובהקפרופּ נחום אליעזר רבינוביץּנפּטר-י"ב באייר הּתש"פ,זצ"לראש ישיבת ההסדר"ברכת משה"במעלה אדומים,מחבר פירוש יד פשוטה על משנה תורה לרמב"םThe words of appreciation and remembrance were offered byone of the most important Rabbinic figures in Eretz Yisroel,educator,author,posek,lecturer,and thinkerHaRav Dovid Stav Shlita-Chief Rabbi of Shoham-Chairman of Tzohar-an organization composed of more than 800 Rabbanimdedicated to bridging the gap between religious and secular Jews.Rav Stav presented at a ZOOM teleconference on the eve of Yom Yerushalayim,focusing on the niftar's unselfish saintly character.The eloquent moving tribute is constructed from fascinating Halachic interactions that Stav had over the years with the Canadian born emigre who became recognized after his Aliyah to in 1983 as one of the most important voices in the Dati-Laumi world.Stav incudes in his talk,the important Halachic directives he gained from the Rav,and conveys the elements of his Midos Tovos that are sorely needed in the generation that now mourns his passing.The points made so precisely by Rav Stav amplify what the former Chief Rabbi of England Lord Jonathan Sacks has written,"He and the late Rabbi Aharon Lichtenstein zt”l were the Gedolei ha-Dor, the leaders and role models of their generation. They were very different, one scientific, the other artistic, one direct, the other oblique, one bold, the other cautious, but they were giants, intellectually, morally and spiritually."

On Principle-9-Challenges in Jewish Education with Rabbi Shloime Schwartzberg-Taking the next Leap in Virtual Adult Jewish Education
Rabbi Shloime Schwartzberg is arguably the“Rosh Yeshiva of the largest Yeshiva in the world without walls”.He is one of the architects of the multi-media online program Daf Hachaim.Shwartzberg excels in preternatural comfort in front of the camera, presenting even the most involved Sugya in a straightforward easy-to-understand Shiur ,which remains attentive to carefully and accurately translate every Aramaic word on the printed page.That day's Daf is displayed in crystal clarity alongside Svwartzberg's immaculate talking head.The exposition is melded with state of the art graphics, visual tools that help entrench the Talmud's complicated concepts and arguments through easy to read charts.Talented artists,informed by specialized archaeological and sociological expertise, have crafted representations of the arcane objects and ancient occupations that the Tannaim and Amaroim lived with and ruled on.These pop up on the screen precisely at the point that Schwartzberg sites their relevance.Building on the scholastic evidence for what insures retention of new knowledge,Rabbi Schwartzberg and the Daf HaChaim team offer a brief review of each lesson which as their advertising states"etches the Daf in stone."The Corona bubble has spawned an explosion of cyber options for effective Talmud study,yet Daf HaChaim towers above them all as the quintessential provider,having established itself close to a decade ago remarkably as a vehicle that attracts equally well seasoned Daf Yomi learners and beginners to the experience.Rabbi Kivelevitz attempts to extract from Rabbi Schwartzberg details of how the project came to be,and how the Charedi world lined up behind a project that was so dependent on internet connectivity.Assuming that a teacher should always be looking to enhance their methods, Kivelevitz is surprised that Schwartzberg hasn't spent time sampling what other presenters are doing in this challenging space.The pair shmooz about methodology and the level of reliance Daf Yomi teachers have on Ras'hi s running guide in their daily concise interpretations.Schwartzberg touches briefly on his occupation as a successful psychotherapistin private practice ,and how his secular education and real life experience has deepened his ability to convey the psychological underpinnings of many Talmudic statements.Rabbi Kivelevitz inquires to the next arena for Harbatzas Torah that Schwartzberg is setting his sights on.While he is attracting a large audience to his live ZOOM shiurim on each day's Tosfos,featured on the OU's AllDaf platform, he is most passionate about his own pet enterprise which he feels can eclipse all his myriad accomplishments in education,the "Self Project."Quoting a novel etymological analysis of the word Torah by Rav Shamshon Raphael Hirsch that sees in learning a method of self-actualization,Rabbi Schwartzberg, would like to follow in the path sketched by Rav Yisroel Salanter, who exhorted the brilliant yeshiva students of his day that the true purpose of Torah is creating a more moral holier persona.Acutely aware of the present Zeitgeist,the Self Project will use video clips and music tailored for specific audiences(Men and Women,and Teens) served up with Schwartzberg's inimitable style.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this episode the Chavrusa team of Rabbi Kivelevitz and Rabbi Worch find themselves in disagreementon almost everything.Scores of backyard Minyanim have begun springing up in North American communities against the wishes of the Community Rabbanim and Poskim,Rabbi Kivelevitz sees this as a reckless challenge to Daas Torah and as dangerously helping generate reinfection of the virus.Rabbi Worch questions the underpinnings of the idea of submission to Rabbinic authority when the issue is not one purely of Halacha.The argument escalates into an examination of various related topics;Nachshon Ben Aminodov's bold action at the shores of the Yam Suf, the Post-Churban enactment on Shemen Goyim that was rejected by the Tzibur,and the inaction of the Gedolei Yisroel in Europe before the Shoah to spur immigration to safer havens.Rabbi Kivelevitz calls for a careful reading of the Rambam's classification of Rabbinic legislationand suggests that the Psakim declaring activities as medically harmful,could qualify those rulings as "Issureri Cheftza",not merely a Syag.The debate summons up the polemic and psuedo-scholarship surrounding the nebulous nature of Daas Torah and whether there was indeed any weight to the pronouncements at the Internet Asifah.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rischa Daraiisa-19 -Shamed in the Sidelines- Fostering Frum "Faucis" for the Future
Here is the interview with Doctor Fauci conducted by the Orthodox Union that spurred this episode's conversation,and the facts behind the quest to develop and supply ventilators mentioned in the beginning of the episode.Rabbis Kivelevitz and Bechhofer lament that there is not a greater representation of frum persons as part of thescientific and medical contributors who have emerged as heroes during the Pandemic Crisis.Rabbi Kivelevitz suggests a more concentrated effort in pushing more of the best and brightest young men and women,albeitcarefully selected by their teachers and principals,towards careers in science,engineering and economics.They would be true agents of Hatzalos Nefoshos in the future.Rabbi Bechhofer, while noting how many of the present day stalwarts of science have no Jewish roots,suggests that their progeny,through the parents personal social contacts with secular Jews, can indeed become part of the Am Hanivchar of the next generation.He references an idea developed by Rav Tzadok Ha Kohen Rabinovitch in one of the sections intentionally omitted from the first edition by advice of the Gerrer Rebbethat puts in perspective the gains in the Jewish gene pool produced by illegal,halachically condemned intermarriage.Kivelevitz is surprised by Bechhofer even floating this antinomian fix that is tethered in the Shita of Ishbitz .Rabbi Kivelevitz opines further that the sidelining of persons over 65 in public forums post Covid-19, will lead to a younger generation handling the mantle of leadership.Citing the mashal of Rav Hutner that compares the elevated status of the Rav to the placement of the town's clock tower high to obviate any tampering, Rabbi Bechhofer is sure that even before the crisis,many of the Gedolim in Eretz Yisroel and Chutz La Aretz have had the hand of others skewering the workings to their whims.He insists that for years,many of the giants of Psak and Hanhagah have been used as tools by younger underlings to push policies and Halachic directives that have fit an agenda.He concedes that the new era might be one of greater transparency and based on merit.Kivelevitz hopes that the patriotic spirit and connection to strong values of citizenship evidenced in the inspiring singing of the Star Spangled Banner by the Chasidishe singers Aron Gerstel and Yaakov Lemmer in front of NYU Langone Medical center portends the end of the suspicious cynical attitude to American law in the frum veldt.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rabbi Gottlieb is a member of the Orthodox Forum Steering Committee and serves on the Editorial Committee ofTradition: A Journal of Orthodox Jewish Thought.Rabbi Gottlieb poses a courageous question as to the efficacy and relevance of the Yovel laws which on the surface seem counter intuitive,and leads to a disincentive for private property.Making use of ideas expressed by Rav Aharon Lichtenstein Zt"l in regards to the status of Shmitah,in a world where the Heter Mechirah is so prevalent,Gottlieb offers an explanation of the Jubilee that serves as a reexamination of our over industrialized society.He anchors his Drush with perspectives culled from the American poet, essayist, social commentator Allen Tate and the Pulitzer-prize winning American historian Herbert Agarthat manage to intertwine an idealization of the distinctly American concept of Freedom with a hopefulvision of our Messianic future.The Yeshiva of Newark @IDT is proud to partner with Rabbi Gottlieb in sharing his insightsand thoughtsto as wide an audience as possible .We thank the Tikvah Fund for use of this materialPlease visithttp://tikvahfund.orgto discover the richness of the programs and educational opportunitiesoffered by that institution as well as scintillating lectures and interviewsPlease leaveusa review or email us [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

One on One with Charlie Harary-Episode 9-How to bring a Real Rebbe into your life
Charlie Harary internationally known investor, strategic adviser and professor and motivational speaker sits down when his schedule allows with Rabbi Kivelevitz to discuss the interface of Jewish values in the greater western World and a touch of sports.With a world in crisis,the need for solid Torah guidance in a personal way is greater than ever.Outside of the insulated Chasidic world where having a Rebbe is an essential part of the sociological structure of the community,it is becoming rarer to find individuals and families who rely regularly on a life coach who radiates a Torah perspective.The plethora of information and advice that is accessible on the Web seems to remove the need for having a personal Posek for many,and has enhanced the phenomenon of "Shitah Shopping",where the individual is the arbiter of the final Halachic direction which tends to be based on their own prejudices, proclivities and their egoistical sides .Primacy of social media as the connecting tissue to othersdiminishes the opportunity of face to face nuanced personal advice.GenerationXers and millennials have been notoriously disinclined to rely on voices from the older generations.Charlie Harary,in perhaps his most personal and passionate One on One interview to date,reveals who his Rebbe is,and how that mentor has guided his life.Notwithstanding Charlie's oft-stated philosophy of refusing to surrender your individuality,and never stunting your growth as a person,he sounds a clarion call here for the indispensability of having a more experienced personage shaping the direction of your life.Due to his lineage(Chasidic-Sephardi),Charlie comes to Kevod Chachamim naturally yet he begins his argument based on the principles of the Nobel Prize winning economist Daniel Kahneman that even the best intentioned individual is subject to the pressures of cognitive bias,and will routinely choose a selfish,and at times self destructive path."The Rebbe's input and listening can save a family on the most basic gashmius level!"Charlie says.Clearly taken by the subject of the conversation,Charlie sketches the different roles Rebbes have played historically,differentiating between1)the Tzaddik who has no previous relationship to you,yet you believe in,due to his saintly and holy persona-a Baal Ruach HaKodesh.2)the Talmid Chacham extraordinaire,who is retained as a purely legal resource when a halacha is beyond your grasp3)The person who has deeply inspired you with the quality and sagacity of the Divrei Torah he has delivered and becomes your "Rock" of decision and by extension,the family's CEO.Rabbi Kivelevitz asks Charlie for the recipe to latch onto that some one who stirs you,especially if he is extremely sought after by others.Charlie refers to his relationship with Kehilas Eish Kodesh and his Rebbe Rav Moshe Weinberger and explains how one should bepersistent, sharpening the point they need the input on,to make the most of the few minutes they might have with the Rebbe.While exhorting us to shoot for the stars in pursuing the well known charismatic leaders, Charlie encourages persons to reconsider Rebbeim they have already had,albeit in a different fashion.Elementary school teachers whose memories stillbrim with fondness for their past students,can be rediscovered as a great source of adult guidance,or as a conductor and provider of "protectzia" to get your foot in the door of a Gadol.As Rabbi Kivelevitz puts it in this episode,"The bridges are there,the challenge is in finding them".Charlie adds that one can't be sucked in completely by external appearances,and their Rebbe might be a clean shaven business person who lives down the block,who is a dedicated Oveid Hashem.Finally,Charlie exhorts his listeners in fervid tones to add the finding of a Rebbe to their Tefilos with the same intensity they daven for parnassah and health and Shalom Bayis.While mostly Charlie's megaphone,Rabbi Kivelevitz adds an important postscript.He puts forth the ideal Baal Habayis in Rav Yisroel Salanter's conception.One whose proficiency in learning is advanced enough to be their own posek confidently in most cases,relying on the Moreh Horaah only whentheir own scholarly research has left them at an impasse.This means,Kivelevitz claims,that the Rebbe will be called on for the whole life issues more than those that circle the Kitchen,Mikvah,and Cemetery.Charlie adds that the Salanterian approach will upgrade the limited Halachic interaction with the Posek,and allow you to grasp more of how they think as opposed to just what to do.Rabbi Kivelevitz responds with a brilliant interpretation he heard from Rav Aharon Soloveichick zt"l concerning the source of Moshe Rabbeinu's Karnei Hod.According to Rav Aharon, Chazal see a Rebbe in the mold of Moshe Rabbeinu, as one who doesn't overwhelm and dictate,giving over exact language,yet leaving much unsaid.Please leave us a review or email us at

The Chavrusa Episode 4- A Lag baOmer Special-Rabbi Kivelevitz Vs Rabbi Worch on Teaching true Kabbalah to the masses
Rabbis Kivelevitz and Rabbi Worch hobble past computer issues and record via telephone an important debate as to whether the time has come to study Kabbalah in earnest.Using Lag BaOmer as their departure point ,the pair acknowledge that the only cause to celebrate the day is by recognizing the contribution Rashbi's Zohar and its Lurianic interpreters have made in transforming and uplifting Jewish life.Rabbi Worch feels that the charge contained in the Zohar to bring about the redemption must be acted upon by the Jewish people by devoting themselves to the spreading of the authentic esoteric wisdom of the Torah.That, he argues, will only occur when exact Kabbalistic terminology(sephiros/zivugim/yechudim) and imagery are introduced alongside the standard fundamental Jewish concepts found in Mikra and Mishna.His co-host reminds him that this approach was aggressively suggested almost two centuries ago by Rav Tzvi Hersh of Zidotchov, yet was never adopted even in the cloistered communities of Eastern Europe.Rabbi Kivelevitz believes that the wisdom in its real sense can still thrive in the hands of the great Mystics that still study and engage in theoretical and practical Kabbalah.Rav Shimon Bar Yochai's legacy,Kivelevitz points out, has already trickled down in thousands of ways that touch our Tefillos and first assumptions of the nature of the soul and God's Providence.The Chasidic masters,he stresses, have already provided enough beautifully crafted ideas and drushim to latch onto for most,with the true strivers still able to join the ranks of the initiates.Rabbi Worch claims that the strictures placed on these studies post the Sabbatian and Frankist debacles need to be lifted in order for a post modern world Jewish community to have what it needs to quench their desire for knowing the essence of our Creator's demands on us.Rabbi Kivelevitz responds that in today's global open cyber life,uncorking the "ancient wine" could lead to its being sullied and defiled in the manner of Aleister Crowley,or turned into the New Age piffle that attracted Madonna/Esther.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

On Principle-8- Challenges in Jewish Education with Rabbi Yossi Kenigsberg- recipe for effective secular Study departments in Right wing Yeshivos
Rabbi Yossi Kenigsberg is the principal of Mesivta Yesodei Yisroel in Elkins Park Pennsylvania, a fledgling but vibrant High school that is part of the vast network of educational institutions under the Touro umbrella.Rabbi Kenigsberg is an educator with almost four decades of experience and has served as a principal in Torah Day schools and Yeshivos for over a quarter of a century.Along with being a supervisor for the renowned nationwide Catapult Learning where he has been intensively involved with summer enrichment learning for inner city children, he routinely consults in cases of severe learning disabilities as a licensed Wilson dyslexia practitioner.Rabbi Kenigsberg received an M.A in Mental Health Counseling in 2008.He joins his friend of over forty years,Avraham Kivelevitz, to discuss one of the most pressing endemic problems that plagues the Yeshivish school system.It is not the dearth of essential reading and writing skills in the curriculum that was the focus of New York Cityinvestigators splashed in the headlines last year .(See the important corrective article on those points by Moshe Krakowski here)The actual scandalous open secret is the incredible dropout rate of teachers assigned to those programs, and the rampantchutzpah evinced by the Talmidim, to the Jewish and Gentile instructors.The Hanhalah of the Yeshivos routinely issue stern warnings to the children, exhorting the school population toexhibit "midos tovos" and respect the qualified educators.The children are lectured to understand the importance that lays in their future by mastering the subjects being taught, yet to little avail.Rabbis Kenigsberg and Kivelevitz are both seasoned veterans of these programs and carry the memory of the apathy andabuse issuing from students,oft times coupled with incompetent administrative micromanagement that places small band -aids on large festering wounds.In his new position, Rabbi Kenigsberg has been able to implement an effective program, staffed with seasoned professionals that have earned a respect bordering on reverence from the 25 young men that comprise the present enrollment of the school.Unlike other right wing Yeshivos that have limited teleconferencing partner learning and instruction to Limudei Kodesh,( see here for On Principle's interview with a principal that explains their rationale) Yesodei Yisroel's eager student body hasno qualms in handling real-time interactive instruction throughout the three hours of the afternoon time allotted for core subjects and is arguably thriving even in the midst of the Corona lock down.Kenigsberg ascribes the success to the wonderful relationship he has with the Menahel on site, and the guidancethat organically stems from the other "Yesodei" high schools inTouro's stable:Yesodei Yeshurun in Queens, and YesodeiHaTorah in Connecticut.On one level, these schools are being developed as feeder schools for Yeshivas Ohr Ha Chaim and Landers College forMen.More significantly, through its careful hiring and creation of an environment of transparent communication,Touro seems to have found the recipe for staff pride and satisfaction.Bernard Lander's success in bringing far flung colleges under one banner, has resulted in the ability of these preparatoryschools to offer compensation commensurate with the skills of the instructors.Staff retention is widely accepted as the single mostimportant element for providing stability.Successive classes will graduate and matriculate to higher education and leave the Yeshiva High schools with an outlook towards math, science, history and English language that is unapologetically positive.Rabbi Kivelevitz speculates that unlike its larger rival,Yeshiva University, Touro doesn't have to defend a Torah U Maadaphilosophy which has caused frequent rifts between representatives of each wing.Unburdened by the shambling labyrinth-like make up of YU,where mixed messages are received by the college students regarding the primacy of Torah learning and a Rabbinic career,bochurim whohave gone through the Yesodei-Ohr Ha Chaim-Landers system understand the choices in front of them, and are groomed to enter the professional workforce as good citizens, and authentic Bnei Torah.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rischa Daraiisa-18-A Mother's Day Special-Behind every Rav-the maternal contribution looms large
With the extremely wide acceptance of the second Sunday in May as Mother's Daysee herethis episode discusses the role the mothers of the co-hosts had in shaping the trajectory of the lives their children have led.These women, both charismatic, accented European expatriates provided crucial ingredients that helped define these two unique Rabbis.The conversation touches on salient differences between the refugees from Western European countries(Bechhofer's parents) from those escapees from Russia and Poland(Kivelevitz's) in terms of the tools their homelands gave them for integration into America.Rabbi Kivelevitz also comments on the positive way the sophisticated Jewish communities of the New York metropolitan area (where the Bechhofers lived) accepted and honored the Pletei HaShoah,allowing them access and identity as American Jews.This was in sharp contrast to the refugees who relocated to smaller cities,(as in the Kivelevitzes case)where the established congregations were embarrassed by the impoverished,ragged Yiddish speakers. Despite the impressive philanthropy funnelled through local federations that enabled the survivors to eventually become financially solvent,those families were marginalized socially,always sensing their otherness.Mrs.Shulamith Bechhofer(see here for a biographical survey of her life)was a master teacher in her own right and took a strong role in "Robbie's"education from the first grade onward.As a scion of the illustrious Schochet Rabbinic family,she encouraged her oldest son to strive for excellence in scholarship and reach for Rabbinic leadership of only the highest order.She might have preferred to see Robbie as a top flight attorney,yet when he announced as a ten year old that he wanted to be a Rabbi,she arranged for him to attend preparatory camps that established Bechhofer's cosmopolitan sense of the Yeshiva world he has thrived in.With no regard to the expense,she enrolled him in Gemara enrichment programs that provided him the background to begin his formal Yeshiva studies functioning way beyond his grade level.Bella (nee Portnoy)Kivelevitz was a product of the intense communist schooling of the 1920's and 30'sthat stressed the natural sciences,as well as art ,music and literature.She matriculated into the prestigious Moscow Medical Academy and graduated at the age of 20,simultaneously awarded her degree as a full fledged Doctor and commission as a Captain in the Russian army.She encouraged her youngest son to understand fully the nature of all phenomenon and to approachdogma with skepticism,and seek answers to human problems in classic literature.Rabbi Kivelevitz remarks of her creative games that spurred him to increase his vocabulary and writefiction,and fondly recalls the plays,concerts and movies she would take him to,and the late night conversations that ensued after the classic films they watched together on an old black and white Zenith.Kivelevitz has no doubt that his love of Midrashic nuance and the literary readings of shakla vitaria he has entertained students through decades of teaching,are due in large part to her.תהיה זכרם ברוך ותנצבצ"הPlease leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rav Binny's Biurei HaParsha- Episode 9-Emor-Eyin Tachas Ayin-Impossible to rectify-
Rabbi Binny Freedman is a highly engaging and inspirational educator who has a gift for synthesizing difficult, sophisticated material in a way that inspires both the novice and the scholar. His proficiency in applying classic Jewish concepts to contemporary life in a personal and meaningful way has made him a sought after speaker throughout North America and around the world.Rav Binny speaking to his talmidim through ZOOM teleconferencing zeroes in on a section of the Parsha oft times ignored by Darshanim, the tort and damage laws that begin on Chapter 24, verse 17.These verses, particularly verse 20,שֶׁבֶר, תַּחַת שֶׁבֶר, עַיִן תַּחַת עַיִן, שֵׁן תַּחַת שֵׁן--כַּאֲשֶׁר יִתֵּן מוּם בָּאָדָם, כֵּן יִנָּתֶן בּוֹ.force us to understand why the Torah couches the responsibility to make monetary compensation in terms that seem to unleash the ugly demons of vengeance.Binny references Aba Kovner and his band of Nazi killers who ultimately realized how empty and spent their killing spree rendered them.He further asks what was the need the Torah had in repeating these verses as they already appear in Parshas Mishpatim.Along with a historical portrait of the rise of the Karaite schism and the work done by Saadia Gaon to combat their influence, Binny presents Saadia's masterful refutation of the literal take on these verses that has been preserved in Ibn Ezra's commentary.By contrasting the submissive forgiving attitude evinced in Mar Brei DaRavina's Elokei Nitzor(said thrice daily in our times)to the Rambam's directives for a Talmid Chacham to react with harsh consequences toward one who had insulted him,Rav Binny begins to find the clues for when a strict unbending attitude is called for in line with a sense of Kedushas Yisroel.The Ohr HaChaim and Kli Yakar are referenced and Rav Binny buttresses their points using practical examples from traffic accidents in Eretz Yisroel.He convincingly demonstrates how even an exact payment of loss is not true Mishpat, and how the phraseology selected by God was meant to entrench the idea of how ethereal human justice is, and what our sensitivity must be to the victim's loss .Rav Binny suggests strongly from context that the same wording found in Legalistic Parshas Mishpatim is meant to elicit a different holier consciousness in Parshas Emor .We thank the Orayta Yeshivah for the use of this material-Check out more Shiurim and information on their websitehttps://www.orayta.org/Please leave us a review or comment at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rabbi Gottlieb is a member of the Orthodox Forum Steering Committee and serves on the Editorial Committee ofTradition: A Journal of Orthodox Jewish Thought.Jewish scholars through the ages have attached multiple aspects of significance to the command to Count the days of theOmer.Rabbi Gottlieb ventures into this well-trodden domain armed with some important ideas of religious philosophers and emerges with a message desperately needed to extract us from the stultifying malaise brought on by the Corona confinement.Beginning with an idea presented by Rav Yosef Dov Soloveitchik in 1945,that the salient difference between a slave and a freeman is how each one perceives time,he elaborates: a slave’s lack of self-worth andinvolvement in the purpose of his labors perforce generates an emptiness in theEved's consciousness, the simple articulation of a count towards a goal, indicates that this "Hebrew" is actually an actor and author of his own life.Soloveitchik forcefully states that thisMitzvahwas the key spark that began the metamorphosis of a tribe into a nation with a purpose.In the novel historical analysis of Lord Jonathan Sacks some sixty years later, Gottlieb traces a direct line to the broadening of Soloveitchik's ideas.Rabbi Sacks suggests that, at the dawn of the Renaissance, the element that caused the West to leapfrog over the scientifically superior Chinese East was the incorporation of the Jewish sense of history and truth as part of a narrative, seeing God and humanity as unbound by the heaviness of nature that had been the focus in the Orient.Sacks goes further in suggesting that the American revolution's success in bringing deep societal change over its French and Russian counterparts was due in large part to the Founding Fathers seeing "Truth" as a story that was flexible and dynamic, moving through surprising middle stages towards a glorious ending pulled by rational human decisions but not subject to the rigidity of a philosophical system.The thinkers of Paris and Saint Petersburg conversely enmeshed themselves in a system that was soulless yet inexorable, with the resulting horrors of guillotine and gulag rising in the Revolution's wake.Rabbi Gottlieb reveals the great debt Sacks' points owe to the Scottish moral philosopherAlasdair MacIntyre, in particular to his 1981 influential work,After Virtue,which cogently charges each thinking person to seek the moral dimension of their lives and unflinchingly ask, "What story am I a part of?"Gottlieb concludes his talk, quoting the German American political philosopherErich Vögelin, explaining why the mass Revelation of God to mankind, what we celebrate as Shavuos, occurred in a desert, devoid of the noise and bustle of society, paralleling our enforced solitude in the Pandemic, as the best venue for sensing the Divine Word.The Yeshiva of Newark @IDT is proud to partner with Rabbi Gottlieb in sharing his insightsand thoughtsto as wide an audience as possible .We thank the Tikvah Fund for use of this materialPlease visithttp://tikvahfund.orgto discover the richness of the programs and educational opportunitiesoffered by that institution as well as scintillating lectures and interviewsPlease leaveusa review or email us [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Covid-19 Choshen Mishpat with Dayan Gershon Schaffel-Wedding Hall Deposits-and Israeli apartments
RenownedYadin Yadin PosekRav Gershon Eliezer Schaffel agrees to share with Rabbi Kivelevitz some of the interesting and pressing questions that the highly respected Beis Din for Choshen Mishpat in Chicago are fielding due to the government enforced shut downs and travel restrictions of the Pandemic.Is a family from the Midwest that put a deposit down last December to reserve a large wedding hall in Lakewood for a Lag B'Omer wedding entitled to a refund?Dayan Schaffel explains the subtleties in determining what "renting a hall" means and how that can determine which party had the stronger case.He elaborates on how the "non-refundable" clause that is standard in every caterer's contract can sometimes be inoperative,depending on whether there existed any possibility for the caterer to have gained other business.In another case, Dayan Schaffel and his colleagues are involved with a young American couple,who are facing law suits from their landlords in Eretz Yisroel for withholding May's rent because they are legally restricted from travelling back.The Dayanim's research into the Shulchan Oruch and relevant responsa have yielded very nuanced findings which will undoubtedly surprise you as much as they did Rabbi Kivelevitz,a Dayan himself in the Beis Din of America.Dayan Schaffel explains the parameters clearly demonstrating in this interview why the Semicha of Yadin Yadin is the height of Rabbinic scholarship,and how expertise in these matters comes from the brilliant comparisons that become iron clad precedent for the next generation.Please leave us a review hereor email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

On Principle - Challenges in Jewish Education-7-with Rabbi Simcha Cook- Charedi Yeshivos Continuing Curriculum through Corona
Rav Simcha Mordechai Cook is the Menahel/Principal of the Mechina (High School)division of Ner Israel Rabbinical College in Baltimore Maryland.For over sixty years the school has been one of America's premier Charedi preparatory high schools,dedicated to fostering within its students the understanding of the Talmud in the classic Lithuanian fashion,and building Bnei Torah ready to accept leadership positions in teaching and community affairs.Rav Cook's advice and ideas are consistently sought after,due to his intelligence and clarity of purpose,backed by close to fifty years of experience in education.A trailblazing article on the goals of Charedi Yeshiva education in the 21st Century penned by Rav Cook can be found here.Rabbi Kivelevitz was a student of the present day Menahel when he was his ninth grade Rebbe in 1973; it was only natural for Kivelevitz to turn to his old roots to discover first hand how the Mechina with its intense schedule of three sedarim of chavrusa learning combined with Shiurim from Rabbeim was continuing under lock down orders in Maryland.Rav Cook describes candidly the challenges,and how through trial and error,and consultation with Gedolei Yisroel, the school set up a realistic framework,and aided by Torah Umesorah's Chrome Books (given free to every Talmid,) live interactive learning on par with other educational institutions are now continuing.The "Torah True" technological wizards of Torah Umesorah have constructed a system that allows connectivity without the perceived dangers of the Internet.see here about the wide range of programs under their umbrella.Rabbi Kivelevitz wonders about the privacy issues that can be raised with such individual monitoring capabilities in the hands of the Hanhalah.He also hopes that students that are thriving in the new set-up will be allowed to make use of the virtual distance model after the situation normalizes.Rav Cook understands fully that not one shape mold fits all,and illustrates the varied way students absorb information with a quaint vignette from his own English boyhood,see here for a hint.Rabbi Kivelevitz citing that one of the reasons for Ner Israel's leadership role in the past was its twin commitment to excellence in Judaic and secular studies, wonders how that balance with strong emphasis on the "Three R's" can be maintained from lock down.Rav Cook admits that for the sake of salvaging the fewer hours that could be demanded from their students,the rigorous demands in those subjects were perforce toned down. The students are viewing pre-recorded lessons from their actual instructors, and taking tests on the honor system.The pair of old friends engage in quite a dose of reminiscences from times past and the challenges the young Rebbe had with the precocious Kivelevitz child. Rabbi Kivelevitz reminds his Rebbe of how Rav Cook once caught him with musical contraband(a cassette of Top 40 hits) and the consequences that ensued.Here (for a video) or here (for just audio)is what was Kivelevitz was listening to when he was caught............remember to shut it off when your Mashgiach walks in.....Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The Chavrusa- Episode 3-Rabbi Kivelevitz vs Rabbi Worch on should we stop sending our teen agers out of town to Yeshiva?
Rabbi Kivelevitz and Rabbi Worch reach into their own personal histories,and parenting choices in discussing the true meaning of the adjuration of Chazal in Pirkei Avosרַבִּי נְהוֹרָאִי אוֹמֵר: הֱוֵי גוֹלֶה לִמְקוֹם תּוֹרָה, וְאַל תֹּאמַר שֶׁהִיא תָבוֹא אַחֲרֶֽיךָ, שֶׁחֲבֵרֶֽיךָ יְקַיְּמֽוּהָ בְיָדֶֽךָ, וְאֶל בִּינָתְךָ אַלתִּשָּׁעֵן.Was Rebbe Nehurai counselling a student to leave his place specifically when his Makom was not a place of Torah? This was the explanation of the Mishnah given by most of the Medieval Commentators-Rashi -Rambam-Rabbeinu Yonahsee heredown to the Bartenura and Rav Chanoch Zundel(The Eitz Yosef).A more novel interpretation was put forward by Rav Yisroel Lipschutzherestating that even if there are teachers and a viable institution where a person was born and raised, the only way for him to blossom into greatness,is to leave friends and family behind ,and find through struggle and sacrifice his mature attitudes and strengths as a thinker and Talmid Chocham.Rabbi Kivelevitz notes that Lipschutz's words have guided generations of young people and their parents to send their children away,but at what he feels has been a great price that the present generation cannot afford to pay.Rabbi Worch challenges his co-host, stating that the major accomplishments of Kivelevitz's life are due to his having left home at thirteen to face the crucible of the ultra competitive,demanding military school air that was fostered in Ner Israel of Baltimore.Worch wonders if Kivelevitz would have ever been driven to amass knowledge and work on becoming a Dayan,had he been still pampered at home.Rabbi Kivelevitz believes he would have absorbed more human skills and compassion,and not slid into the hard cynical shell,that adolescents had to build for themselves to survive the onslaught on identity that being away fosters.He regrets the years spent away from his parent's wisdom,and points to Torah Giants of the 20th and 21st centuries(Rav Soloveichick and the recently deceased Rav Yaakov Perlow)who thrived under home influences.Rabbi Worch feels that those exceptions prove the rule,and while some students for emotional and social reasons need the comforts of the local small-town Yeshiva,the system now in place; the exclusive prep school Mesivta where the best and the brightest from across the land aspire to attend, is the best guarantor for Gedolim in the future.While not denying the greatness that has emerged from Philadelphia or Telshe Alumni,Rabbi Kivelevitz worries about the social and community skills that only receive proper tending when students are able to frequently return home.Rabbi Worch explains why he decided to send his oldest son away,to literally walk in his father's footsteps,and why he feels no regrets.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rischa Daraaisa-Episode 17-Passionate responses to issues in the Jewish Community-Prayers-Private-Particular-Peculiar and Powerful
Sparks begin to fly as Rabbis Kivelevitz and Bechhofer begin to talk about whether new enjoyments and insights,particular to this period of enforced isolation and fear can be gained from delving into the unchanged text of the Siddur.Rabbi Kivelevitz casually presses Rabbi Bechhofer to expand on comments he has made on and off the air,first, how he is relishing his private Tefilos,second, that he doesn't believe that the prayers of our generation can really make the difference in ending the Corona Crisis.Rabbi Bechhofer stays true to his Litvak genes,and denies feeling any specific enjoyment while being satisfied that he can now say every word of Pesukei DaZimrah. Essentially he davens as he always has.He further adds that it is dangerous to give people the sense that their Tefillos can penetrate the Shaarei Shamayim and stave off suddenly an organic growing plague when death abounds.Responding from a completely different perspective,Rabbi Kivelevitz invokes the Chasam Sofer's description of the Siddur as Kodesh Kodeshim.Kivelevitz suggests that what Rav Sofer means is that the intensely private and unique Kavanos that are imbued into the words,form a direct guiding shaft for our soul to bond again with its Source.By its very nature, the intent of Tefilos must change in every stage of life we pass through,and while saying the same sentences,the true meaning will differ subtly from generation to generation.Kivelevitz shares three Corona inspired interpretations that he has dwelled on,even beyond the Zman Tefillah.These are the sections that are remarked uponHereHereHereRabbi Kivelevitz then claims unstintingly that every one should believe that his or her heart felt appeal might be the one, added to Klal Yisroel's ,which turn the tide,and lifts this scourge from us.Rabbi Bechhofer stays adamant that while Tefillah can bring spiritual change internally to the supplicant and reinforce and strengthen his connection to Kedusha,one must guard themselves from delusions that will backfire into depression.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Conserving Torah-3-with Rabbi Mark Gottlieb-Acharei Mos-Kedoshim-Moving between Chukim and Mishpatim
Rabbi Mark Gottlieb is Senior Director of the Tikvah Fund and founding Dean of the Tikvah and Maimonides Scholars at Yale University. Prior to joining Tikvah, Rabbi Gottlieb served as Head of School at Yeshiva University High School for Boys and Principal of the Maimonides School in Brookline, MA.His writing has appeared inFirst Things,Public Discourse,the University Bookman,the Algemeiner,andthe Jewish Review of Books. Rabbi Gottlieb is a member of the Orthodox Forum Steering Committee and serves on the Editorial Committee ofTradition: A Journal of Orthodox Jewish Thought.As theseParshiosintroduce the concepts ofChukimandMishpatim, specifically as they relate to the laws that govern sexual behavior, Rabbi Gottlieb presents a cogent examination of the traditional terminology ofChokandMishpatand how they have been understood over the centuries.Beginning with salient passages in the Talmud, Rabbi Gottlieb examines the definitions offered bySaadia Gaonas well as the nuanced usage made by theRambamin his commentary to theMishnaand inMishneh Torah.Rejecting the archaic translations that still hang cumbersomely around these crucial terms, Gottlieb looks to the definitions used by the Talmud, especially the phraseדין הוא שיכתבas being open to two competing interpretations.While acknowledging that the formulations of thinkers as important as Rav Aharon Lichtenstein and Rabbi David Novak as equatingMishpatwith completely organic Natural Law has been useful for reading the Torah system against the backdrop of a more universal lens, Gottlieb recognizes that the approach of seeingMishpatimas Divine Directives, whose logical hooks lend themselves to become chains of utilitarian limits on a society through common consensus, is likely more of a piece with what the term Biblically implies.In our post-modern time both traditional approaches toMishpatimandChukimare in danger of being rejected by theZeitgeist, which could render the categories obsolete, Gottlieb suggests.He therefore puts forth a nuanced idea championed by Rabbi Menachem Schrader that these categories are fluid, and one generation'sMishpatcan become another'sChokand vice versa.Rabbi Gottlieb finds a strong traditional precedent for Schrader's idea in the words of the Piasecne Rebbe inChovas HaTalmidim, where he describes how the emotional and intellectual comfort withMishpat, can be channeled through deep fervor into anyChok, giving the Jew who submits to the complex detail of ceremonial or sacrificial law the overlay of a child wanting to kiss his heavenly Father on the mouth.The Yeshiva of Newark @IDT is proud to partner with Rabbi Gottlieb in sharing his insightsand thoughtsto as wide an audience as possible .We thank the Tikvah Fund for use of this materialPlease visithttp://tikvahfund.orgto discover the richness of the programs and educational opportunitiesoffered by that institution as well as scintillating lectures and interviewsPlease leaveusa review or email us [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rabbi Binny Freedman is a highly engaging and inspirational educator who has a gift for synthesizing difficult, sophisticated material in a way that inspires both the novice and the scholar. His proficiency in applying classic Jewish concepts to contemporary life in a personal and meaningful way has made him a sought after speaker throughout North America and around the world.In this brief but effective talk,Rav Binny speaking three years ago,after the emotional whirlwind period in Eretz Yisroel of Yom haShoah and Yom HaZikoron uses imagery fresh in his student's minds from the fallen at Har Herzel to relate to the gauntlet of Aharon,having to soldier on after his children had perished.Mentioning a woman he knows,an Aushwitz survivor, who lost a child as a member of the IDF,he marvels at her positive disposition.Binny uses her nobility to inform himself as to why God would command the strange ritual of sending the Saer to Azazael on Yom Kippur.Quoting a Ramban,that on the surface,Rav Binny labels as the strangest lines in Nachmanides literary oeuvre,he proceeds to use a powerful psychological insight of Rav Yosef Dov Soloveichick to explain how Tshuvah from Ahavah can resonate for all of us.We thank the Orayta Yeshivah for the use of this material-Check out more Shiurim and information on their websitehttps://www.orayta.org/Please leave us a review or comment at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The Deeper End of the Parsha-Acharei Mos Kedoshim-Holiness -recognizing the dignity of the downtrodden
Rabbi Worch-Co host of theChavrusaand acclaimed translator of theBnei Yessascharelaborates on two carefully selected sections of the famed mystic and commentator,Rav Moshe Alshich,one from Acharei Mos and its description of the Avodah of Yom HakippurimThat passage can be found hereWith fine tuned reading of the verses,the Alshich emphasizes Aharon's complete exoneration from the sin of the Golden Calf,and the purpose of the special linen garments,and twin Chatas goatsRabbi Worch then turns to what appears a pedestrian passage about agricultural laws in ParshasKedoshimPlease find that -hereWith the Alshich's careful attention to stylistic changes in the Biblicalverses,coupled withcogentreferencing of the contractual details of marriage arrangements as laid out in the Talmud,Rabbi Worch presents Peah as a paradigm of how community relations and attitudes need to develop in order to have a holy society that affords dignity to all its members.Way beyond a mere translator,Rabbi Worch places the material in context with Halachic directives in Tzedakah from the Rambam,evocative statements of the saintly Levi Yitzchak of Berditchevand a few witty classic Jewish epigrams.We thank the Illinois Center for Jewish Studies for the use of this materialPlease leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Zera Shimshon -Seeds of Holiness-Episode 5-Achrei Mos-Kedoshim-Discovering your purpose by examining the worst parts of your self
Rabbi Kalman Worch leads the Shiur through selected passages from this double parshafrom this classic work of the Italian scholar Rabbi Shimshon Chaim ben Rabbi Nachman Michal Nachmani, who passed away in 1779 .In a striking section of Achrei Mos- hereThe Zera Shimshon elaborates on the Arizal's method of discovering where your life challenge lies,and gives us a whole different take on what the Tshuva process can accomplish,and Rabbi Worch clarifies what Tikkun Olom really means.In Parshas Kedoshim,Rabbi Worch chooses unique sections that introduce us to Kedusha in a novel way.Both of them can be found here.Using Shmuel Ha Navi as a model,Rav Shimshon clarifies the odyssey of life and the significance of our mature years,and explains the early deaths that befell some of our greatest Kabbalists.The Shiur ends with a highly original take on a Medrash that in the Zera Shimshon's hands,and through Rabbi Worch's lenses,explains the rise to power of tyrants like Nevuchendzer,the cruel Monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella,and how Hitler threatened to rule the world primarily due to his oppression of the Jews.Inextinguishable small sparks of holiness are revealed incredibly to be the binding element that seals the unwavering patriotism of so many assimilated Jews.Rabbi Shimshon Chaim had only one child, a son, who died at a young age. Rabbi Shimshon Chaim decided to dedicate his'Sefarim' to the memory of this child who had no continuity of a family. Hence the name "Zera Shimshon" In the introduction to his work,he promises that anyone that takes upon himself to learn from his writing, will be granted"children, praise, health, 'parnasa', wealth, honor".We thank the Illinois Center for Jewish Studies for the use of this materialPlease leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Charlie Harary internationally known investor, strategic adviser and professor and motivational speaker sits down when his schedule allows with Rabbi Kivelevitz to discuss the interface of Jewish values in the greater western World and a touch of sports.The Rabbi asks Charlie to provide a direction for those who have lost their livelihood in part or in whole,and now face overwhelming expenses in a very uncertain era.Charlie speaks about the need to be proactive and positive without any self pity.Rabbi Kivelevitz wonders if the same effort that Jewish modsos of all stripes are putting into monitoring physical health should be allocated in helping guide the recently unemployed to successfully rebrand themselves.Charlie offers a surprising dissent based on a real life case he was familiar with that he believes is instructive,and metaphors culled from Lurianic Kabbalah and the Harary Competitive Chametz Search every 14th of Nissan.The quote about the Best Defense being a good Offense offered by Charlie and sometimes attributed to Packers Giant Vince Lombardi is discussedsee here for moreRabbi Kivelevitz's contention that the opposite adage Best Offense is a good(or great)defense has its adherents with Buddy Ryan possibly included-see herePlease leave us a review or comment at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Covid- 19 Choshen Mishpat with Dayan Gershon Schaffel-Paying Tuition
Renowned Yadin Yadin Posek Rav Gershon Eliezer Schaffel examines an issue that the Pandemic has forced upon us that is pressing and difficult.Should parents who now find their children at home be entitled to their tuition payments refunded ?Does the school have a fiduciary responsibility to not cash head checks?Rabbi Schaffel takes this seemingly unprecedented circumstance and firmly plants it in established Halachos in Choshen Mishpat that deal with "Makkos Medinah" in the case of a hired worker.Quoting,the Maharam of Rothenberg, and Rav Moshe Isseles-the Rama,the Rabbi deftly takes us through the opinions and rationale of the great decisors -Shach,Taz,Nesivos HaMishpat,and Rav Moshe Sofer.The stark reality of today is then able to be viewed through this prism of scholarship,with analysis of the complicated relationship modern parents have with their Yeshivos that provide teaching and much more to their children.A tour de force of cogent Halachic thinking that guides,illuminates and inspires.Please leave us a review hereor email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The Chavrusa-Rabbi Kivelevitz Vs.Rabbi Worch on Condemning Trump's behavior and actions
Rabbis Kivelevitz and Worch rediscover some of their old fire in a question that has been percolating since 2016.Should the moral spokesmen for the Frum Veldt distance themselves and when necessary condemn the ugly divisive and morally reprehensible statements and pronouncements of the United States current President?Do we adhere to the millenniums old tradition of refraining from public disparagement as was practiced from the time of Achashveirosh,through King Herod through the Middle Ages or does today's intense media scrutinized World call for us to be vocal despite the real threat of White House Backlash.The issues are more acute of course in an Election year and in the midst of the Pandemic Crisis where the President's misteps are magnified.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

On Principle-Challenges in Jewish Education- Episode 6-with Rabbi Jon Kroll- Hiring Staff-Balancing the need for diversity and cultural competence
Rabbi Kivelevitz brings back Rabbi Kroll,who was the guest on the Inaugural program in February,to discuss the issue of diversity in the hiring of staff,particularly in the Jewish Studies department.Rabbi Kroll speaks about his own natural proclivities to expand the variety of instructive sources(teachers from very varied backgrounds) measured against the benefit of having a strongly invested staff whose commonality with the students engenders an unshakeable feeling of family and the sense of ministering to their own children.The pair discuss the impact voluntary trips arranged by SAR to Kiryas Yoel for Lag ba Omer and Boro Park for Simchas Bais HaShoaivah have engendered in sensitizing the students,and whether the next step of actually hiring a Charedi Rebbe could expand the mindset of the top tier students,adding crucial cultural leaven to an already fermenting mind.Rabbi Kroll speaks about uniquely sensitive students looking for a living pristine example who can be shaped by a relationship with a warm Chasidic mentor,provided that Rebbe is respectful of the school's overall Hashkafah.Rabbi Kivelevitz references scientific studies on these issues-and how it impacts schooling decisions in the African-American community and beyond.Information in that regard can be found hereand hereand information about HaRav Yisroel Belsky Ztz"l hereand the Austin Powers Mole scene hereThe friendly repartee includes a recognition of SAR's role in pioneering the task of continuing schooling during forced quarantine ,and Rabbi Kroll comments on ways the parent teacher dynamic has been altered for the better in many cases due to the video conferencing.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rischa Daraiisa-16-Passionate responses to issues in the Jewish Community-Teachers have to own up to Sinaas Chinum that they continue to propogate
Rabbi Kivelevitz asks Rabbi Bechhofer to share his insight in what offering instruction through video means has taught him. A student of the Rabbi who had previously struggled to keep up,and was viewed as a "class clown" has the past few months thrived, working from home and watching the instructor's previously filmed classes. This caused Rabbi Bechhofer to reexamine his own prejudices towards the student leading to a greater realization.The Sinaas Chinam that continues to permeate through our society and has now brought a "Churban" in the closing of Batti Medrash and Battei Knesios all over the world is reflected in the subtle ways teachers judge and minister to their students.Their feelings and attitude toward their wards are solely based on the outdated classroom personal dynamic and from Lashon Hara of what they have heard from administrators.Rabbi Kivelevitz isn't terribly impressed by Rabbi Bechhofer's explanation for God's unleashing the Corona Scourge,but is moved by his friend's soul searching and admission of being part of the teaching problem.Rabbi Kivelevitz,while invoking Rav Michal Yehuda Lefkowitz Ztz"l's call on every teacher to work tirelessly and creatively for every student he is charged with ,wonders if after the crisis has passed,the school will allow Rabbi Bechhofer's former troublemaker to continuewith on line instruction.He also asks Rabbi Bechhofer to consider how he may be a better teacher out of the confines of a classroom,where he can focus on presenting the interesting content without having to react to typical youthful behavior.Rabbi Bechhofer then asks Rabbi Kivelevitz for tips on live video conferencing,as the latter has been engaged in teaching through ZOOM and other platforms the last six weeks.In explaining what the differences have been between the Beis Medrash and the Computer table,Rabbi Kivelevitz stresses the importance of careful preparation,advice for picturing your audience,and anticipating the virtual arrival of unexpected drop ins who can alter the dynamic of the Shiur.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rabbi Binny Freedman is a highly engaging and inspirational educator who has a gift for synthesizing difficult, sophisticated material in a way that inspires both the novice and the scholar. His proficiency in applying classic Jewish concepts to contemporary life in a personal and meaningful way has made him a sought after speaker throughout North America and around the world.In this Shiur,given two years ago ,in front of an engaged Yeshiva audience, Rav Binny moves beyond the typical exhortations against gossip and rumor mongering,and leads us through the incidents in Tanach where Tzaaras was meted out as a punishment.Setting up Moshe's hand being afflicted at the sneh as the paradigm,he explains Miriam, Geichazi and the Four Meztoarim in the time of Chizkiyahu,discovering a common thread that he weaves into a powerful message for the young people he was addressing then which should reverberate in all of us in the present to recognize how behavior determines our true place in the world.Using yesodos from the Ramban and Rav Tzadok HaKohen of Lublin,and Rav Avigdor Nevenzahl,he not only explains why the Metzora is not sent to learn from the Leviim to live a more elevated life,he gives us fodder for self reflection extremely timely in this Corona period.Along the way,Rav Binny takes us back to the tense atmosphere that suffused Eretz Yisroel at the start of the Second Intifada, and references sports bars, Silvester celebrations,and even a favorable memory of Peter Weir's modern cinematic fable,Witness.https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090329/We thank the Orayta Yeshivah for the use of this material-Check out more Shiurim and information on their websitehttps://www.orayta.org/Please leave us a review or comment at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Tshuvos and Poskim-Covid Fatalities and Sephirah-Putting losses in perspective
Rabbi Kivelevitz intertwines the depressing reality of Covid-19 deaths with the Halachic issue of Aninus in this recording of a ZOOM teleconference .He lays the background of Sephiras HaOmer,and the nature of the Mitzvah with the Halachic paradoxes that surround it.(Machlokes Behag and Rabbeinu Tam-The Trumas HaDeshen's Sfek Sfeika).He then masterfully dissects selections from the Tshuvah of Rav Yechezkel Landau,the Noda BaYehuda,and indicates the critical way it is presented in the Mishna Brurah.Citing the Giants of Psak of the last generation,(Rav Moshe Feinstein and Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerabach)who concurred with Rav Yechezkel,Rabbi Kivelevitz adds a number of reasons particular to our tortured era of dealing with the departed that strengthens further the leniency espoused.Please leaveusa review or email us [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Conserving Torah with Rabbi Mark Gottlieb-Tazria-Metzora-The Whisper of Death in the Faith of Life
Rabbi Mark Gottlieb is Senior Director of the Tikvah Fund and founding Dean of the Tikvah and Maimonides Scholars at Yale University. Prior to joining Tikvah, Rabbi Gottlieb served as Head of School at Yeshiva University High School for Boys and Principal of the Maimonides School in Brookline, MA.His writing has appeared inFirst Things,Public Discourse,the University Bookman,the Algemeiner,andthe Jewish Review of Books. Rabbi Gottlieb is a member of the Orthodox Forum Steering Committee and serves on the Editorial Committee ofTradition: A Journal of Orthodox Jewish Thought.Rabbi Gottlieb in this episode bravely tackles one of the most perplexing areas of the Torah,the purity laws surrounding childbirth,and the Tummah that adheres to the Metzora.Drawing from a perspective developed by Samson Rafael Hirsch and articulated with nuance for a new era by Norman Lamm in his modern classic,Hedge of Roses,Rabbi Gottlieb deftly explains the various types of Tummah as rooted in the diminution of the life force which consequently places a damper on the potential of sanctity .He then moves beyond Taamei HaMitzvah into the ideas of the celebrated essayist Mary Eberstadt,fleshed out in her work How the West Really Lost God.In it she proffers the thesis that the undermining of the family in Western culture has in turn helped power the religious decline of modernity.The life affirming approach of Hirsch/Lamm serves in Eberstadt's view not as mere apologia,rather as a clarion call to commune with something larger and marvelous.In this tense period with death hovering,Rabbi Gottlieb extolls the innate historical particularly Jewish values that see in family forming and strengthening a transcendental path that can help us emerge even stronger from crisis.The Yeshiva of Newark @IDT is proud to partner with Rabbi Gottlieb in sharing his insightsand thoughtsto as wide an audience as possible .We thank the Tikvah Fund for use of this materialPlease visithttp://tikvahfund.orgto discover the richness of the programs and educational opportunitiesoffered by that institution as well as scintillating lectures and interviewsPlease leaveusa review or email us [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The Chavrusa-Rabbi Kivelevitz vs Rabbi Worch on introducing literature into American Charedi High Schools
Rabbis Avraham Kivelevitz and Kalman Worch pick up from 16 years ago,to begin a whole new series of debate and intelligent argument over a wide range of Torah subjects.Rabbi Kivelevitz,based on his own personal observations,cities the sorry state of respect for civil authorities evinced by so many graduates of Yeshivishe institutions, and bemoans the lack of civility displayed by present students towards secular studies teachers and general apathy for the rote subjects taught during the three to four hours usually afforded for their study.He also expresses concern for the bright young person,who due to language issues or other factors cannot excel in Gemara learning, and feels shunted away and inferior,despite having a creative mind.Exposing the students to serious literary fiction from the masters of their craft, with passages analyzed as thoroughly as the Talmidim are expected to pick apart a sugya, will give gravitas to the language and milieu being studied,and bring home the positive virtues found in the non-Jewish world.Within a carefully crafted framework,these classes would unleash the natural critical speculation that all adolescents have as to the nature of the human.As the themes and language are not sacred, passionate Talmudic trained teachers,can create an pedagogic arena where all students can shine in their reading and suggestions to the author's intent.Arguments can flow freely as to how these books and stories,written centuries ago in some cases,are palpably relevant for today's times.Rabbi Worch believes that rigorous and entertaining instruction in the sciences are indeed important,but feels the literary beauty of Tanach and Chazal are what need to be unearthed and stressed .He opines that the pathos and power of Midrashim and Aggadata dwarfs their drawn out English knockoffs(Choni Ha Maagol vs.Rip Van Winkle).He also fears that the overtly Christian views of writers like Milton and C.S.Lewis can dangerously subvert Emunah,while more contemporary authors can easily insert salacious content or innuendo that is inappropriate.The pair bicker over the quality of translations from Kafka to Dostoevsky,and whose fantasy is superior J.K.Rowling's or Phillip Pullman's.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rischa Daraiisa-15-Passionate Responses to Issues in the Jewish Community
Rabbi Kivelevitz suggests that the next pandemic's effects would be strongly blunted in the Orthodox communities if they began to look more like the 19th Century's model,where mid sized cities housed vibrant Orthodox life in a North American landscape that would be low on population density,and high on quality of life.He admits that it would take an aggressive combined effort on the part of Jewish rabbinic and lay leadership across the full spectrum of Orthodoxy,and demand massive funding for infrastructure,but would ultimately yield life saving results.Rabbi Bechhofer dismisses the idea as terribly unrealistic and questions whether the average young person who is raised in these fanciful hamlets will have the required sophistication to navigate the complexity of a Torah life in the modern world.Rabbi Bechhofer grills Rabbi Kivelevitz about his own childhood as a product of Memphis,Tennessee,and the pair discuss the unique confluence of circumstances that allowed that sleepy town of the South to produce and nurture such a large percentage of Torah scholars.Rabbi Kivelevitz explains how the Memphis model will probably be never replicated,yet it proves the viability away from the Northestern Megalopolis.Please check out Rabbi Bechhofer's illuminating lecture on the Rabbinic response to the 1918 Spanish fluhereCorrection-After fact checking with Rav Nota Greenblatt's son it was determined that his father arrived in Memphis in 1949,not 1951,and was initially employed as a Talmud Torah Teacher.He did eventually become a Chazan,after teaching a few years -gratis-in the Hebrew Academy that he helped form.We apologize for this error.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rav Binny's Biurei HaParsha-Episode 6-Shmini-No reason to disrupt the perfect wedding circle
Rabbi Binny Freedman is a highly engaging and inspirational educator who has a gift for synthesizing difficult, sophisticated material in a way that inspires both the novice and the scholar. His proficiency in applying classic Jewish concepts to contemporary life in a personal and meaningful way has made him a sought after speaker throughout North America and around the world.Rav Binny addresses his audience from isolation in Eretz Yisroel with a brief powerful reading and interpretation of how the ecstatic joyof the Mishkan's inaugural led to the tragic deaths of Aharon's children, Nadav and Avihu.Rabbi Freedman evinces the master teacher's tools in explaining key Hebrew terms and verb usage on display in the section,ויבא ויצאו וירנו ויפלו על פניהםwhile pointing out the use of identical phraseology from Moshe and Aharon's successful bringing down of Shechinah to Nadav and Avihu's terrible errorוַתֵּ֤צֵא אֵשׁ֙ מִלִּפְנֵ֣י ה וַתֹּ֨אכַל֙He peppers the parshanus with cogent insight culled from Rav Shamshon Raphael Hirsch, Rav Yosef Dov Soloveichick, and even Kirk Douglas.The lecture is permeated with Jewish wedding imagery that Rav Binny uses as a metaphor for understanding when to exhibit restraint on your individual passions when they threaten to compete and blunt the communal state already in progress.The onus of disciplining oneself is crucial to leadership, as Rav Binny illustrates from a humbling experience he suffered in military preparedness due to unbridled feeling.As models for constraint, he offers Yosef HaTzadik and Moshe Rabbeinu and underscores the sequence in the Rambam's Hilchos Deos that deals with the destructive consequences of not marshaling anger.He suggests that the laws of Kashrus which are introduced in the parshah immediately after the events of Yom HaSmini, thematically relate to the call for curtailing one's appetite for self fulfillment.Especially for those in Eretz Yisroel, this reading serves as a reminder of how to keep the emotional celebrations of Yom HaShoah,Yom HaZikoron,and Yom HaAtzmaut in check, allowing the Yeridas Ha Eish of the Korbon Tzibur to burn properly without any misfortune.We thank the Orayta Yeshivah for the use of this material-Check out more Shiurim and information on their websitehttps://www.orayta.org/Please leave us a review or comment at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The Deeper End of the Parsha-The Shechinah Brothers and Knowing where your Letter lies
Rabbi Worch-Co host of theChavrusaand acclaimed translator of theBnei Yessascharchooses Kabbalistically tinted passages from theAlshich's commentary on Chumash to Parshas Shmini that explain why Aharon and Moshe's participation were essential in the Mishkan Inaugural and what that "Eighth Day" represented and wrought.Get ready to understand the four worlds in a manner that rises above the Medieval/scientifically unsound perception of the early Jewish philosophers constructs and in a way that aligns with and deepens the first statements contained in Pirkei Avos,the mantra of Shimon HaTzaddik.The last third of the class reveals a novel take on why some persons have a natural inclination to certain parts of Torah scholarship or particular Mitzvos and acts of kindness and support,while others move in completely different directions.Rabbi Worch masterfully delineates the stark disagreement between the Alshich and his contemporary the Arizal on this crucial point which is the key in capturing your Chelek in the world to Come,and is based on the 600,000 root souls that left Mitzrayim and how all Jews till the end of our history are bound to some letter contained in the living Book of Torah.We thank the Illinois Center for Jewish Studies for the use of this materialPlease leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Zera Shimshon Seeds of Holiness Episode-4-Shmini-Seperations Now and Unification in the Future
Rabbi Kalman Worch leads the Shiur through the beautiful passages of this classic work of the Italian scholarRabbi Shimshon Chaim ben Rabbi Nachman Michal Nachmani, who passed away in 1779 .Rav Shimshon in his extensive essays on Parshas Shmini,working off the final section of the Parsha and the Pasuk לְהַבְדִּ֕יל בֵּ֥ין הַטָּמֵ֖א וּבֵ֣ין הַטָּהֹ֑רquotes a long form of our Havdalah Bracha that makes mention of Tumaah and Taharah and the Upper and Lower primordial waters,and the distinctions between Kohanim,Leviim and Yisroelim.Rabbi Worch leads the class through Rav Shimshon's ingenious deciphering of the list that bears on the fundamentals of our faith and will enhance your recitation every Motzei Shabbas.The last part of the lecture deals with the fascinating sources that indicate that many aspects of our Kashrus laws will be altered in the Messianic age,the Zera Shimshon explains this startling concept and allows it to be the springboard into next week's Torah reading,Tazria and the underscoring of the Mitzvah of Milah in its first few verses and why circumcision is performed even on Shabbas.Rabbi Shimshon Chaim had only one child, a son, who died at a young age. Rabbi Shimshon Chaim decided to dedicate his 'Sefarim' to the memory of this child who had no continuity of a family. Hence the name "Zera Shimshon" In the introduction to his work,he promises that anyone that takes upon himself to learn from his writing, will be granted"children, praise, health, 'parnasa', wealth, honor".We thank the Illinois Center for Jewish Studies for the use of this materialPlease leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rabbi Aryeh Klapper on Halchic Requirements for the Mentally Ill
Rabbi Aryeh Klapper is Dean of the Center for Modern Torah Leadership, Rosh Beit Midrash of its Summer Beit Midrash Program and a member of the Boston Beit Din.Rabbi Klapper is a widely published author in prestigious Hebrew and English journals. He is frequently consulted on issues of Jewish law from representatives of all streams of Judaism and responds from an explicit and uncompromised Orthodox stance.In this Shiur, given in late 2017 at Yeshivat Eretz HaTzvi in Yerushalayim -Rabbi Klapper tackles the Halachic issues and responsibilities of seniors dealing with various stages of dementia, sufferers of manic depression, people dealing with extreme paranoia, individuals with antiscocial personality disorder, persons with autism,and down syndrome children.Drawing from actual shailos asked to him,Rabbi Klapper explores whether the Megilah can be read with a Bracha to the Alzheimer afflicted Holocaust survivor,or whether the young woman who was deathly certain the whole Shul was out to strangle her had fulfilled her responsibility to hear Shofar.He also shines a legalistic lens on the common practice of having Bar Mitzvah celebrations replete with Brachos on the Torah for developmentally disabled children who had reached the age of majority.Beginning with an exploration of the concept of "Gadol HaMetzuvah VeOseh....",and the emphatic articulation of Rav Aharon Lichtenstein on the seminal importance that Judaism assigns to being in a relationship to a Commander,touching on the comments of Tosfos in Kedushin who introduces the idea of the "transgressive thrill" that only effects ones who have the obligation,the Rabbi then leads his engaged listeners into asking for themselves if they are comfortable with solutions like those proposed by Rav Chaim Pinchas Scheinberg,that encourage society to support Halachic behavior for these persons due to the principle of Kavod HaBrios,while leaving them in truth without any real obligations.Working off the Eretz HaTzvi Yeshiva students' responses,Rabbi Klapper suggests a framework for creating a Rabbinic Chiyuv for society's sake ,modeled on the Torah's own exemptions for women in Mitzvos aseh She Hazman Grama for the better of the home foundation.He finds precedent for this in the position of Tosfos in Megillah 24 who writes in regards to Rebbe Yehuda Bar illai's opinion that ואפילו נסתמא משנולד מכל מקום חייב הוא מדבנן שלא יהא כנכרי ולא יהא נוהג בו דת יהודי כללHe introduces the ingenious question of Rav Mordechai Feinstein(Rav Moshe's brother)of how someone who is exempt from Mitzvos,can still be bound by the Lo Sosur exhortation from God to follow the legislation enacted by the Rabbis,and leads the class in reading and appreciating the brilliant answer offered that has such consequence.As he approaches the solutions to the thorny problems laid out,Rabbi Klapper treats the Talmidim to quicksilver flashes of the formulations of the Minchas Chinuch in regards to a Child's obligations concerning his inherited slaves circumcision in order to take part in the eating of the Paschal Lamb,and Rav Yaakov Chagiz's logical path in sanctioning the murder of a Shoteh who is Patur in Mitzvos.He concludes with an alternative of the standard text in Rosh haShana 28 preserved by Rashi,of one who blows Shofar to exorcise a demon,where the obligation is fulfilled,despite the clear mental distress the Tokea is enveloped in-which should exclude any level of discharging his Mitzvah .Using a principle put forth by Rav Betzalel Zev Shafran that distinguishes between one overwhelmed completely by mental illness to one who evinces insight into their situation,and struggle to fulfill commandments despite the "Shed" that hounds them,Rabbi Klapper leaves his audience with the tools to navigate this extremely important and in many ways uncharted area of Jewish Law.The Yeshiva of Newark @IDT is proud to partner with Rabbi Klapper to help spread his scholarly thoughtful ideas and Halachic insight to as wide an audience as possible .Please visithttp://www.torahleadership.org/for many more articles and audio classes from Rav Klapper and to find out about his Summer programs as well as Rabbi Klapper's own podcast sitehttps://anchor.fm/aryeh-klapper.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

On Principle- 5-Challenges of Jewish Education with Rabbi Mark Gottlieb
Rabbi Mark Gottlieb is Senior Director of the Tikvah Fund and founding Dean of the Tikvah and Maimonides Scholars at Yale University. Prior to joining Tikvah, Rabbi Gottlieb served as Head of School at Yeshiva University High School for Boys and Principal of the Maimonides School in Brookline, MA.His writing has appeared inFirst Things,Public Discourse,the University Bookman,the Algemeiner,andthe Jewish Review of Books. Rabbi Gottlieb is a member of the Orthodox Forum Steering Committee and serves on the Editorial Committee ofTradition: A Journal of Orthodox Jewish Thought.The Rabbi joins Rabbi Kivelevitz to discuss leadership training education,how candidates are vetted and eventually selected,and what constitutes the main focus of the seminars and lectures the fellows attend.Rabbi Gottlieb sees the personal interview as a primary factor, over thegradesand reports from the student's teachers, as well astheessays the applicants submit.He illustrates how hobbies and interests are in many ways an indicator of thethoughtleader that Tikvah is eager to engage.Rabbi Gottlieb distinguishes between the program geared for studentswhoare moderately affiliated with the traditional Jewish community(Maimonides Scholars)and the program serving products of predominantly (but not exclusively)Orthodox day schools(Tikvah Scholars).The Rabbis discuss the balance between general literacy and skills in reading and parsing Jewish texts,and the importance of staffing the leadership seminars with passionate,gifted instructors.Rabbi Gotttlieb describes the incredible effectresulting fromthe hiring of persons like the eminent American philosopher and political economist Professor James R. Otteson,who not only opened the Tikvah students’eyes to the important theories that form the basis of classical liberal political order,he illustrated how this technically underdetermined dynamic is at play in Klal Yisroel’s innate understanding of who the Gadolei HaDor are.When questioned by Rabbi Kivelevitz as to why Tikvah has not attempted to cull their young potential from completely Charedi schools,where the boys(and, separately, young women)have the advantage of strong text proficiency and analysis,Rabbi Gottlieb pointed to Tikvah's role in Eretz Yisroel in catering programs and Torah journals to the Charedi world,and its discovery andcultivationof Rabbi Yehoshua Pfeffer,a student of Rav Asher Weiss, who now serves as head of Tikvah's Haredi Israel division.Rabbi Gottlieb speaks about Tikvah's connections toR'Aharon Kotler,the CEO of Bais Medrash Gevohah,but admits that there is more work to be done in reaching those special Talmidim in the Chasidish and Litvisha yeshivos,who could perhaps through the exposure to greater Western thought take their place as an accepted Gadol ready to tackle the formidable challenges that lay ahead for our people.Listen for the championing of some of the ideas of Pope John Paul II concerning the dignity of the human person,and the significance of Theology in applying and advocating for religious concepts in a modern world.There is also a casual reference to Mark Twain,and an oblique shadow of Phillip Roth.Please leave us a review or email us [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rav Binny's Biurei HaParsha Special Erev Pesach Episode
Rabbi Binny Freedman is a highly engaging and inspirational educator who has a gift for synthesizing difficult, sophisticated material in a way that inspires both the novice and the scholar. His proficiency in applying classic Jewish concepts to contemporary life in a personal and meaningful way has made him a sought after speaker throughout North America and around the world.This address to current and former students finding themselves in isolation,predominantly in North America was broadcast by Rav Binny on the afternoon of April 7th after he had just completed Bedikas Chametz in his Efrat home.Fascinated by the continuing hallowed custom to search for leaven by candlelight on the eve before Pesach,despite the fact that most homes in our times have been scrubbed clean before the Bedikas Chametz time,Rav Binny suggests a symbolic reason for focusing a measured beam in a dark room.He connects the sense of sight ,and the gratitude we have towards God for granting it to us with the Bracha of "Pokeach Evarim".Citing the Peshat in the admonition against giving Shochad to a judge-where the verb form of "Ever" is used,he concludes that we at times need to have our objectivity realigned,and not allow our natural proclivities,even if they be innate compassion, blind us to the right thing to do.This illuminates the Midrashic statements as to the cause of Yitzchack's "blindness", or wrongful perception (Avraham's tears of mercy at the Akeidah)which are discussed by the Rabbis in the passages that immediately precede the text where Yitzchack voices his desire to give the Brachos to Esav,a man with overwhelming character flaws.Not surprisingly,Rav Binny relates this to the training he received under Shaul Mofaz,as to how to respond when you are stationed in a turret of a tank confronting an 8 year old Jihadist wielding an RPG.Binny gives the issue nuance when there can clearly be two equally plausible ways to asses a situation eg: the Two State solution,or whether new Corona vaccines should be rushed into development,and admits as Rav Soloveichick has pointed out,that sometimes clarity occurs only after the complete arc of events have played out.We thank the Orayta Yeshivah for the use of this material-Check out more Shiurim and information on their websitehttps://www.orayta.org/Please leave us a review or comment at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Tshuvos and Poskim-Digging into the Root of Maror
Given last year as part of the The Tshuvos and Poskim Shiur Of the Yeshiva@IDTRabbi Kivelevitz leads the class into more aspects of Struggling at the Seder with eating materials that are difficult,and downright damaging to your digestive system.Is eating a Maror a real Mitzvah from the Torah in even in the time of Korbon Pesach?Can you just eat less? How important is this Rabbinic directive in our times anyway?Does the Bracha change if you eat less?The discussion traces the Ashkenazik customs of what to use as Maror,referencing the original Talmud text in Pesachim, and why Chazeras (Romaine Lettuce) is considered the prime choice according to Chazal and why this bitter root became the standard.Rabbi Kivelevitz touches on the issues of insect infestation.The Shiur samples selected readings in The Rosh,The Shaagas Aryeh, The Chayeh Adam, Chasam Sofer,Rav Shlomo Ganzfried's Kitzur, ,Rav Chaim Halbershtam,the Imrei Noam,Rav Meir Horowitz quoting his grandfather Rav Naftali of Ropshitz-, the Mahari Asad,the first Bovover Rebbe Rav Shlomoh Halbershtam,Rav Yitzchack Aaron Etinga,Rav Shlomo HaKohen,Rav Shlomo Zalman Ehernreich,Maharash Engel The Satmar Rav and Rav Avraham Blumenkrantz.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rav Duvie Weiss gives the Shabbas HaGadol Drasha the Corona Virus calls for
Unable to address his Kahal on Shabbas HaGadol as has been customary for Jews for over a millenia, Rabbi Duvie Weiss presented a powerful message via video conferencing to the dozens of shut-ins that make up Congregation Ohr Chodosh in Bergenfield New Jersey.Eschewing a typical pilpul in Hilchos Pesach,Rav Duvie inventively explains the role Chazal assigned to Puah/Miriam in providing life sustaining encouragement to the mother and child,this underscores the importance of balancing the medical skill of Shifra and the heart and intuition of Puah.This striving for improvement coupled with an optimistic outlook can hold us in stead beyond the horror of the Pandemic that we are enveloped in.One cannot help be moved by the pain the Rabbi and all of us are experiencing,and his call for strengthening our faith in God and beseeching our Creator to bring us out of this Magefah into a beautiful Messianic future.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

He is frequently consulted on issues of Jewish law from representatives of all streams of Judaism and responds from an explicit and uncompromised Orthodox stance.In this Shiur, given recently as a ZOOM video conference,Rabbi Klapper brings to the fore the essential sources behind the decisions necessary to navigate the Corona lockdown,in allowing otherwise unacceptable Halachic positions.e.g. listening to the Megillah reading on Purim,or holding a Minyan through video or teleconference,using a bathtub for a women's Mikvah needs.The Rabbi takes us through a number of the germane Talmudic texts in Sukkah and Nidah,with special emphasis on the opinion of the Tanna Rebbe Yehuda Bar Ilai who regularly allows questionable actions to stand once performed,and the debate between Rashi and Tosfos of how Rebbe Yehuda HaNasi was able to stand by what appeared as a mistaken Psak,due to the principle of Shaas HaDachack.Rabbi Klapper delineates the parameters of reliance on minority opinions due to great monetary loss by investigating the essential argument between Rav Moshe Issereles and Rav Yoel Sirkis as to the significance of Halachic stature the Posek that one wants to rely on holds among the normative majority.Turning to the fascinating Machlokes between the Raavad and Rosh if a dried out Lulav or Esrog can ever be seen as an object to truly fulfill the Mitzvah of the Torah,Rabbi Klapper after expertly staking out the Rosh's extremely novel position, finds precedence in the compromise position of the Bais Yosef to laying a groundwork of adaptation to the situation that confronts us.Rabbi Klapper's warning of indiscriminate use of Halachic opinions penned in the last century when the technology and physical constructs were extremely different is an important call to be heeded by the Poskim attempting to provide direction to a Klal Yisroel overwhelmed by the changes wrought by Covid-19The Yeshiva of Newark @IDT is proud to partner with Rabbi Klapper to help spread his scholarly thoughtful ideas and Halachic insight to as wide an audience as possible .Please visithttp://www.torahleadership.org/for many more articles and audio classes from Rav Klapper and to find out about his Summer programs as well as Rabbi Klapper's own podcast sitehttps://anchor.fm/aryeh-klapper.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rischa Daraiisa-14-Passionate responses to issues in the Jewish Community
Inspired by an idea from an old World's Finest Comic,Rabbi Kivelevitz asks Rabbi Bechhofer if he was able to bring back a Gadol to guide us through these desperate times of Covid-19,who would it be?They each suggest a Gaon in Halacha and a different one in Machshavah.Rav Yosef Gavriel extols Rav Shimon Shkop and how his approach in learning is tied to the human experience and Rav Eliyahu Desslerwho could guide the thoughtful Kehilos with his Mussar so tethered to the human psyche.Rav Kivelevitz suggests Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerabach as the incredibe Mechadesh in Halacha,who was innately curious and acutely aware of the exact scientific nature of phenomenon, and Rav Avraham Yitchock HaKohen Kook(aided by Rav Shlomo Yosef Zevin as a Meturgaman) to provide a vision that would place these unprecedented events in a form that would give hope and resilience,seeing them with the Daos drawn from the Omek ha Pshat in Chazal's Midrashim.Here is the original ideahttps://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/8689441.htmlPlease leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rabbi Aryeh Klapper on The pupose of Korbanos and the Yetzer Hara for Avodah Zarah
Rabbi Aryeh Klapper is Dean of the Center for Modern Torah Leadership, Rosh Beit Midrash of its Summer Beit Midrash Program and a member of the Boston Beit Din.Rabbi Klapper is a widely published author in prestigious Hebrew and English journals. He is frequently consulted on issues of Jewish law from representatives of all streams of Judaism and responds from an explicit and uncompromised Orthodox stance.In this Shiur,Rabbi Klapper, uses an Aggadic Talmud text from Mesechet Yoma,and relevant passages from the Rambam's Moreh Nevuchim as his basis to explain Avodas HaKorbonos as a way to return to the spiritual sublimity of Gan Eden.He develops in a compelling way what God's reason was in commanding animal slaughter and burning,rooting it in primal human longing for awakened physical /emotional stimulus.He masterfully uses principles garnered from Sir James George Frazer and Marion Zimmer Bradley to explain the Torah's stringency in not allowing cut stones,and its prohibition of a Kohen ascending to the altar with steps-and provides an eye-opening insight into the laws of Temurah as well.Through the Shiur,there are fascinating reflections on Maimonides's true conception of what our Avodas Hashem can yet transform into come the Messianic times,as well as references to Rav Kook's suggestion of Korbon Mincha only future.The Yeshiva of Newark @IDT is proud to partner with Rabbi Klapper to help spread his scholarly thoughtful ideas and Halachic insight to as wide an audience as possible .Please visithttp://www.torahleadership.org/for many more articles and audio classes from Rav Klapper and to find out about his Summer programs as well as Rabbi Klapper's own podcast sitehttps://anchor.fm/aryeh-klapper.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

One on One with Charlie Harary Episode 7-The Family's Oscillating Narrative
Charlie Harary internationally known investor, strategic adviser and professor and motivational speaker sits down every week with Rabbi Kivelevitz to discuss the interface of Jewish values in the greater western World.The Rabbi asks Charlie for an appropriate Pesach Seder Drash for the Jewish people in this extreme time,when no Shabbas HaGadol drashos will be presented in our Shuls and Batei Medrash.Based on an approach of Rabbi Yehuda Forman, Charlie explains why the Seder seems to take such a meandering route to tell the story of Sippur Yetzias Mitzraim,and doesn't begin with verses from Shemos.He expands the point with the aid of the theories and constructs of prominent social scientists,who draw up what is the type of family narrative that a family can latch onto to use as the nexus for strength and resilience.Rabbi Kivelevitz suggests why we devote so much time to the Bnei Brak Seder and to four types of sons based on Charlie's idea and to why the events of the night of the fifteenth of Nissan are given such scant description in the accepted Haggadah text.The duo then discuss the question of Rav Elazar HaRofeh Ashkenazi,as to why Rebbe Elazar Ben Azariah needed to intoduce his famous statement with the phrase "Behold,I am Like a Man of Shivim Shanah-and yet I have not merited to find the source...."which smacks of conceit and arrogance.Rabbi Kivelevitz shares the ingenious answer that Rav Ashkenazi suggests which resonates even stronger in this dark time.Make sure to hear the musings toward the end of the podcast,as to the future violent contact sports post this Corona shutdown.Please leave us a review or comment at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

On Principle-4-Challenges of Jewish Education with Rabbi Moshe Abramowitz
The incredibly unique period of isolation during the Corona Pandemic calls for a special emphasis in our educational efforts on counselling students in this tense time.Rabbi Kivelevitz's guest,Rabbi Moshe Abramowitz is particularly well suited for the task of advising the community.Rabbi Abramowitz,with close to forty years experience in professional counselling,served as the Director of Pastoral careat Barnabas Health Center and Pallative Care and Hospice for 22 years.He also served as a US Military Chaplain for 23 years,including a four year stint at the West Point Military Academy.Besides these counselling positions,he was at the forefront of educational issues in the Jewish world,as the Executive Director of the Kushner Elementary and High School in Livingston,New Jersey and remains deeply involved in educational issues.The Rabbis discuss how to discover which students need counselling and how those conversations can take place.Rabbi Abramowitz pivots on the parents role,and describes how in many cases a party not as close can bring the most comfort to the person in distress.The teachers task in earmarking which students are ripe for extra mediation is commented on,especially when the child is not physically there for the instructor to pick up on visual cues.They then broaden the scope to many adults who have an ongoing relationship with a therapist,who now have to redefine the terms of engagement-to newly stricken individuals who are finding it particularly difficult to reach out to a stranger when beset by the terror of the pandemic.Rabbi Abramowitz references Rav Shachter's Psak of considering the mental state of shut-ins at home and in institutions in terms of finding inventive Halachic alternatives for them to find help in the form of professional human contact.

Rischa Daraiisa-13-Passionate responses to issues in the Jewish Community
Rabbis Yosef Gavriel Bechhofer and Avraham Kivelevitz devote themselves in this episode to positive outgrowths for the Jewish world post the Corona Virus lockdown.They discuss how future weddings will be planned with much less expense and pressure,as well as the realization of how vital the computer and internet is in educating the broadest swath of students.Rabbi Bechhofer comments on the positive aspects of Davening at home even on Shabbas,and Rabbi Kivelevitz invoking the famous epistle of the Vilna Gaon envisions a different type of Shul attendance and experience post Corona.The pair suggest how seemingly non relevant studies can actually provide direct antidotes to the crisis,by planting in one's mind poetic but accurate parallels to the situation we are engulfed in.Rabbi Bechhofer shares elements of a monograph he is writing on Rabbinic responses to the Spanish Flu while Rabbi Kivelevitz interprets a passage from the recent Daf Yomi dealing with starting a fire before Shabbas in a way that provides a road map for achdus specifically through the enforced isolation.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

One on One with Charlie Harary-Episode 6-Grasping the Monkey Bars
Charlie Harary internationally known investor, strategic adviser and professor and motivational speaker sits down with Rabbi Kivelevitz to discuss the interface of Jewish values in the greater western World.The Rabbi asks Charlie for a Hashkafah approach as the severity of Covid -19 increases dangerously throughout the United States.Charlie argues for tabling any desire to construct a rationale for God's plan and to fall back on Emunah Peshutah.Rabbi Kivelevitz suggests the angst and confusion rampant in these times parallels what world Jewry was struggling with in the years of the Holocaust,and suggests that discerning the redemptive force and Davening for a Messianic culmination might be in order.When mentioning Rav Akiva Eiger's injunction to retain a very positive upbeat sensibility during times of rampant illness,the Rabbi asks Charlie if .carving out substantial time for lighter matters is in order.They still get in a few sports references,like the 1951 Giants Pennant Run,and Tom Brady signing with the Bucs.Please leave us a review or comment at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rav Duvie Weiss on the Special Kedusha of Rosh Chodesh Nissan
Rabbi Weiss gives over a video conference Shiur in honor of Rosh Chodesh Nissan and exhorts his community to generate within themselves pangs for the Moshiach during the bitter period of Corona seclusion.As a way to accentuate the special significance of Rosh Chodesh Nissan-he dissects a Halachic debate as to whether the directive to add Yaaleh Veyavo in the Rosh Chodesh Tefillos means that neglecting mentioning the passage obviates one's whole Tefillah.He indicates a direct connection between Rabbeinu Yehuda Baal HaTosfos and Rabbeinu Yonah's debate in the sugya in Brachos 26 to the machlokes Imrei Emes and The Koshogklover in Rav Aryeh Fromer's Tshuvos.Rav Duvie concludes the talk with an important Yesod from Rav Tzadok Ha Kohen that highlights the great potential we can mine on this Rosh Chodesh" Lachem".Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rav Binny's Biurei HaParsha-Episode 3-Vayikra-The true meaning of Sacrifice
Rabbi Binny Freedman is a highly engaging and inspirational educator who has a gift for synthesizing difficult, sophisticated material in a way that inspires both the novice and the scholar. His proficiency in applying classic Jewish concepts to contemporary life in a personal and meaningful way has made him a sought after speaker throughout North America and around the world.This Shiur was given in the Yeshiva Orayta,where Rabbi Freedman serves as Rosh Yeshiva last year.The Rabbi tackles head on what the reason for Korbonos might be.He quotes from the Moreh Nevuchim,and details the Ramban's criticism of the Rambam,He adds to the difficulty in understanding Maimonides based on Rambam's own words in Mishneh Torah which suggest an eternal unmatched significance for Korbonos that seems to have nothing to do with weaning a people off paganism.Using stirring stories from the heroic defenders of Ammunition Hill during the Six Day War,and etymological insight from Rav Bik of Gush Etzion,with a dash of Chassidishe Machshavah-Rav Binny brings the concept of Korbonos down into multiple layers of relevance to the modern listener.We thank the Orayta Yeshivah for the use of this material-Check out more Shiurim and information on their websitehttps://www.orayta.org/Please leave us a review or comment at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The Deeper End of the Parsha-Episode 3-Vayikra-Rosh Chodesh Nissan
Rabbi Kalman Worch fearlessly attempts to explain to his listeners many of the deepest cryptic passages in our literature.Speaking about the first word in Vayikra,and why the last letter is written in a diminutive way, he treats the class to a number of mystical interpretations stretching from the Zohar through the Megalah Amukos to Rav Menachem Nochum of Tchernobyl and Rav Yitzchak Eisik Yehuda Yechiel Safrin and the Ben Ish Chai.Each of them explore the different levels and methods God reveals knowledge to his creatures.You will be able to comprehend the relationship our tradition has made between Rebbi Akiva and Moshe in a way that highlights each's greatness and dovetails with the significance of the dawning of Chodesh Nissan and how these days reverberate with untapped holiness.We thank the Illinois Center for Jewish Studies for the use of this materialPlease leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rischa Daraiisa-12-Passionate responses to issues in the Jewish Community
Rabbis Bechhofer and Kivelevitz discuss the Heter given by a Rabbi in Maryland for women to use an inflatable tub for going to the Mikvah.They explore the argument for finding Halachic leniencies for women who are fearful of using the public Mikvah due to the current pandemic.They invoke Rabbi Dovid Miller's attempts to bring to early 20th Century America an easier Mikvah option,and discuss whether similar approaches can be adopted for today.Rabbi Bechhofer makes a case for abstinence in Simcha,and reminds us of how American Jews conducted themselves during the Spanish Flu epidemic of 1918.Praises are handed out for Rabbi Dov Linzer's statements,and Rabbi Bechhofer reads the important address of Rav Gershon Eliezer Schaeffel to his congregants.Rabbi Kivelevitz chides Rabbi Bechhofer to adopt a more compassionate tone towards his antagonists in this angst fraught time,and sees in this period of quarantine the chance for connecting anew sans the old doctrinarian baggage.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rabbi Kalman Worch leads the Shiur through the beautiful passages of this classic work of the Italian scholarRabbi Shimshon Chaim ben Rabbi Nachman Michal Nachmani, who passed away in 1779 .Rav Shimshon explains why the Maggid chooses verses in Devorim to expound when their meaning is so straightforward.His answer leads you through Kabbalistic traditions that see the Jewish people as Uber Souls who have been in the world since the time before the Mabul and been part of the generations of depravity and rebelliousness from the Tower of Bavel through Sodom.This gives the key to understanding why we had to suffer particular ways in Mitzrayim.Rabbi Worch then takes his listeners through the author's take on Vehee Sheamdah- in a way that clarifies what our rescue and redemption is dependent on and what is the key to avoiding our demise at the hands of our enemiesRabbi Shimshon Chaim had only one child, a son, who died at a young age. Rabbi Shimshon Chaim decided to dedicate his 'Sefarim' to the memory of this child who had no continuity of a family. Hence the name "Zera Shimshon" In the introduction to his work,he . That promises that anyone that takes upon himself to learn from his writing, will be granted"children, praise, health, 'Parnasa', wealth, honor".We thank the Illinois Center for Jewish Studies for the use of this materialPlease leave us a review or email us at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
