Rabbi Kivelevitz leads a ZOOM class sketching how according to the Mishnah and Talmud the Daled Minim were taken on Shabbas if that was the first day of Sukkos till the Churban occurred.The Rabbi clarifies Rambam's explanation of how that changed resulting in the almost universal not using the lulav on Shabbas in any circumstance.The episode then turns to the custom of bentching lulav in the Sukkah before Davening and the comments of Rav Moshe Feinstein Zt'l ,who queries how the principle of Tadir VeSheaino Tadir seems to have been downplayed.Kivelevitz elaborates on the custom that Rav Elyashiv adopted in the last fifteen years of his life to ostentatiously hold on to the Daled Minim on his way to Shul in the exact manner one grasps them to fulfill the Mitzvah,not in a container, despite how aesthetically pleasing it might be.The Rabbi suggests that two influences were primary in the great Posek's pivot,the Kabbalistic undrstanding of how the four species acts a a vehicle in transmission from Binah to Daas,and the publication of that volume of Rav Moshe's responsum.

Rabbi Kivelevitz queries Professor Juni concerning the psychological efficacy of using the standard liturgical text of the Yom Kippur confession or Vidui.The pair discuss if focusing so strongly on particular incorrect actions obscures the root causes behind sin.Kivelevitz wonders if an updated confessional is in order.Doctor Juni relates how the theory of cognitive dissonance plays out for many as they struggle to own up to negative behaviors that have been fostered within themselves.Kivelevitz asks Juni if he believes the method of self examination, Heshbon ha-nefesh,urged by Rav Yisroel Salanter is an accessible option for most serious persons.The practice consists of setting aside a portion of one’s day to critically consider one’s way of living. The general intention of this practice is that the practitioner make a thorough reckoning of his deeds and efforts, using a diary, that would breakdown his attitudes, and behaviors, develop an intimate familiarity with the nuances of his persona, strengths and weaknesses, and keep track of his progress towards better character or lack thereof.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 the host of the program.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.

A Shiur that mines ancient texts for illuminating new understanding and relevance!The following is a letter from Rabbi Kivelevitz the host of the program.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.

Rabbi Bechhofer makes his case for the Perush on Nach of Rav Meir Leibish Malbim to be translated and made accessible to a non-Hebrew reading populace.Moreover, he stresses its primary significance for any serious student of Tanach and bemoans the Yeshiva world's neglect of learning the words of the Neviim in a systematic way.Rabbi Kivelevitz attempts to squelch his friend's enthusiasm by putting in perspective the historical antecedents and other works that were produced contemporaneously by other Jewish scholars that Malbim borrowed from.He also suspects that the work being rendered in a new language would run counter to one of the great author's reasons for writing the work, promoting the use of Loshon Kodesh and extend the boundaries of Rabbinic literature to prod others to pen original compositions in the grand form of the ancient prophets.The pair discuss a few other original contributors to the deepening of Daas Mikra-Shmuel Dovid Lutzatto, Rav Shamshon Rafael Hirsch, along with two professors that Kivelevitz and Bechhofer knew well from their Chicago days, Rav Hirsch Isenberg, and Doctor Avraham Lipschitz.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.

Longevity Pandora’s Box: The Burden on Family, Society, and DignityDoctor Juni is a man standing in two worlds, geographically residing inEretz Yisroelyet tethered to a distinguished career of achievement and successful family bonds in the US.The seven decades since 1950 has witnessed the sociological convulsions of race and gender identity and the ascent of relativism which upended millennia-old truths, even as it expanded a net of inclusion of the traditionally marginalized. Culturally, it resulted in two worlds of humanity whose boundaries are starkly drawn today. Prof. Juni analyzes what has happened to society and the personal experience of having existed in two drastically different worlds.Doctor Sam blessed with a capacity of detached observation and generally on the mark anticipation, has walked the divide and not fallen sway to easy platitudesthat herald a utopia to come.Persons post 65 (who, when retirement legislation was drawn up 90 years ago, were correctly seen as trodding a euphemistically described "golden path" to the grave) have benefited from scientific advancements in the understanding of disease and have easy access to the measures that stave off what in the past was the throes of death.This has led to a sharp increase in the median age of life with a much larger segment of the population post 80 than in any time in our recorded history.Many of these octogenarians are assailed by chronic health issues that put an incredible strain on the planet’s health care system as was brought to the fore with dramatic vibrancy in the first terrible weeks of Covid 19.A boon of this progress has been increased sensitivity that has been distilled to persons in middle age, leading many to gird their bodies and stimulate their minds to remain active and continue in powerful roles.This has come,however, at the expense of a more youthful majority who cannot be expected to wait for the Changing of the Guard....."from Rabbi Kivelevitz's introductionDoctor 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 possibly the world's 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 & CulturePlease leave us a review or email us at [email protected] See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rav Akiva Atlas Shlita ,a long standing member of the Telshe Kollel in Chicago, who spent close to two decades learning personally with Rav Chaim Dov Keller Zt"l,presents a Talmud muvhak's moving hesped of this extraordinary Rabbinic leader who passed away on the 27th of Av.Rabbi Atlas serves as the prime editor for the Niftar's acclaimed work on Chumash,Sefer Chidekel,and is a popular Maggid Shiur for the elite students of the school that Rav Keller helped establish,Telshe Yeshiva in Chicago.In ways that only a close student can,Rabbi Atlas presents a portrait of his Rebbe as the quintessential Ish Emes who had a refreshing realistic expectation of what a multi-faceted frum society should be like.Rav Keller served the Agudah as the premier spokesman for the tenets of Torah-True Judaism in the face of the threat of assimilation and from those he felt were intent on creating a Judaism riddled with inconsistencies and bereft of Yiraas Shamayim.Rav Chaim Dov Keller was born in 1930 in New York City and attended Yeshiva Rabeinu Yitzchak Elchanan (RIETS).Through the influence of Rav Dovid Lipschutz Zt'l and others, Rav Keller joined Telshe Cleveland and became a closetalmidof Rav Elya Meir Bloch.In 1961, Rav Keller came to Chicago and over many decades, taught Torah to thousands oftalmidim, who venerated him for his brilliance and authenticity.Rav Keller was known for his forceful and eloquent defense of "Real Yiddishkeit", and delivered what was considered the unadulterateddaas - in powerful speeches and articulate writing.He was a prominent member of theNesiusof Agudas Yisrael of America.Rav Keller’s last address was given in Telshe Yeshiva on Purim of this year, and shortly after he was stricken with COVID-19. After being hospitalized for an extended period of time, his home was converted to a quasi-hospital room, and he spent the last few weeks being cared for in his familiar surroundings and supported virtually by devoted talmidim across the globe.Please leave us a review or email us at [email protected] See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rabbi Kivelevitz leads the Shiur in reading a few of Rav Shlomo Goren's Tshuvos that highlight his novel approach to the Halachic weight that must be accorded to the conquering and control of Eretz Yisroel,and break new ground in Hilchos Shabbas.The Warrior RabbiByAryeh TepperPraise of military virtue, prominent in the Bible, is almost non-existent in the Talmud, which, in the aftermath of the destruction of the Temple and the exile of the Jews by the Romans, either ignores wartime feats or re-interprets them as allegories of intellectual or spiritual prowess. The Talmud's relative silence on the subject would prove enduring. Until the second half of the 20th century, with few exceptions, military virtue was consistently depreciated in traditional Jewish thought.The traditionalist who reversed that trend was Shlomo Goren (1917-1994), the first chief rabbi of the Israel Defense Forces and later the third chief rabbi of the state of Israel.Goren issued several innovativehalakhicrulings dealing with military life and composed the first code of Jewish military law since Maimonides. In so doing, he brought the Jewish conception of war into the modern era.Shlomo Goren moved with his family from Zambrów, Poland, to mandatory Palestine in 1925. At the age of twelve, he was the youngest student ever to be accepted into the prestigious Hebron yeshiva.At the age of seventeen, he published his first book: a legal commentary on an abstruse topic connected to Temple sacrifices.His interests leading him beyond the four cubits of traditional Jewish law, he enrolled in the Hebrew University to study mathematics, classics, and philosophy.The young Goren was not only a wide-ranging thinker but a bold doer. In 1936, he participated in the defense of his community against Arab rioters; shortly before the outbreak of Israel's war of independence, he joined the Haganah, where he quickly established himself as an expert sniper. At war's end, the scholar-warrior who had repeatedly risked his life under fire was prevailed upon by the state's chief rabbis to answer David Ben-Gurion's call for someone to assume responsibility for religious services in the army. The rabbis might have envisioned the position as one of catering to religious soldiers exclusively, but Goren's first move was to establish himself as rabbi of the entire military. All of the IDF's kitchens were made kosher, and Jewish religious festivals were observed across the board..Goren's biggest stroke as a thinker was yet to come. It was, he argued, only the loss of political sovereignty in 70 C.E. that had compelled the rabbis of the Talmud to recast ideas of military power in spiritual terms—for instance, by emphasizing the miracle of the oil on Hanukkah and neglecting to mention the Maccabees' battlefield victory over the Greeks. But, he contended, the rabbis never meant to replace the military with the spiritual; for them, rather, military virtue was a means, not an end in itself.In composing his code of Jewish military law, Goren surmounted the difficulty presented by the lack of rabbinic legal material by expanding the boundaries of the canon and utilizing ancient historical and apocryphal sources like the works of Josephus Flavius and the Book of Maccabees. What emerged was nothing less than a new religious-national template for an era in which political sovereignty had been regained: a vision of the ideal Jew as, at once, spirited and spiritual. By means of such insights he hoped, especially after becoming Israel's chief rabbi in 1973, to influence the national consensus of the Jewish state.Goren's drive to expand the traditional canon was not limited to the laws of war. In a series of lectures on Jewish thought, he extolled the virtues of ancient Jewish and non-Jewish theologians unknown in Orthodox society, some of whose texts Goren read in the original Greek. In the field of talmudic scholarship, similarly, he championed the historically neglectedJerusalem Talmudas an important primary source. For these intellectual efforts he was awarded the Israel Prize, the state's highest honor.By the end of his career, Goren found himself cut off from the corridors of power, without a public following, and, in the last year of his life, left to rage from the sidelines against the Oslo accords.While his name is still respected in religious-Zionist circles, very few today engage with his writings and teachings. As the unacknowledged rabbinic legislator of the modern Jewish army, he lent the weight of his brio, his genius, and his immense erudition to a task ofreconciliation that few others could have performed. Of no less permanent value is his activist and indeed audacious conception of what a rabbi should and could be, and of which texts, and which human undertakings, may be embraced and endorsed by the Jewish tradition.

A Shiur that mines ancient texts for illuminating new understanding and relevance!The following is a letter from Rabbi Kivelevitz the host of the program.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.
