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.

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 זצוק"ל זי"ע The Yeshiva of Newark is proud to partner with Rabbi Klapper to help spread his scholarly thoughtful ideas and Halachic insight to as wide an audience as possible .

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.

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.

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.

. . 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). Source material will be shared on-screen, through Zoom.

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. 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.
