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.

RambaN Vs.RambaM -Episode 24-Branovich and Grodna- The 20th Century’s Great European Roshei Yeshiva Rav Elchanan Wasserman and Rav Shimon Shkop explain the basis for adherence to Rabbinic law
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 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.

Rabbi Aryeh Klapper on Shemos-Are Followers Responsible for Their Leaders evil excesses?
Rabbi Klapper leads a ZOOM Shiur for the Young Israel of Sharon, Massachusetts which can be construed as a timely commentary on the events that have blackened the eye of democracy in our country.Klapper adroitly analyzes Ramban's understanding of why Pharaoh began by imposing labor levies rather than mandating infanticide.

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 & Cultu

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.
