None of the statements, representations, viewpoints, images or other media contained herein has been sanctioned, approved or endorsed by the Commonwealth or the Department. Nothing contained herein should be deemed to represent the official views of the Commonwealth or the Department.'  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.

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.     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.

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 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........  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.

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.
