Yeshiva of Newark Podcast

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'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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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."
