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.

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 exp

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 mani

Rabbi Dovid Weiss presents a Shiur that deconstructs the Halachic underpinnings of the Akeidah in light of a number of Talmudic passages and filters the ideas through the principles of the great Chasidic thinkers with a result that powerfully directs every Jew in his striving for becoming a Servant of God.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 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 asRavandPosekfo
