Rabbi Kivelevitz intertwines the depressing reality of Covid-19 deaths with the Halachic issue of Aninus in this recording of a ZOOM teleconference .He lays the background of Sephiras HaOmer,and the nature of the Mitzvah with the Halachic paradoxes that surround it.(Machlokes Behag and Rabbeinu Tam-The Trumas HaDeshen's Sfek Sfeika).He then masterfully dissects selections from the Tshuvah of Rav Yechezkel Landau,the Noda BaYehuda,and indicates the critical way it is presented in the Mishna Brurah.Citing the Giants of Psak of the last generation,(Rav Moshe Feinstein and Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerabach)who concurred with Rav Yechezkel,Rabbi Kivelevitz adds a number of reasons particular to our tortured era of dealing with the departed that strengthens further the leniency espoused.Please leaveusa review or email us [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rabbi Mark Gottlieb is Senior Director of the Tikvah Fund and founding Dean of the Tikvah and Maimonides Scholars at Yale University. Prior to joining Tikvah, Rabbi Gottlieb served as Head of School at Yeshiva University High School for Boys and Principal of the Maimonides School in Brookline, MA.His writing has appeared inFirst Things,Public Discourse,the University Bookman,the Algemeiner,andthe Jewish Review of Books. Rabbi Gottlieb is a member of the Orthodox Forum Steering Committee and serves on the Editorial Committee ofTradition: A Journal of Orthodox Jewish Thought.Rabbi Gottlieb in this episode bravely tackles one of the most perplexing areas of the Torah,the purity laws surrounding childbirth,and the Tummah that adheres to the Metzora.Drawing from a perspective developed by Samson Rafael Hirsch and articulated with nuance for a new era by Norman Lamm in his modern classic,Hedge of Roses,Rabbi Gottlieb deftly explains the various types of Tummah as rooted in the diminution of the life force which consequently places a damper on the potential of sanctity .He then moves beyond Taamei HaMitzvah into the ideas of the celebrated essayist Mary Eberstadt,fleshed out in her work How the West Really Lost God.In it she proffers the thesis that the undermining of the family in Western culture has in turn helped power the religious decline of modernity.The life affirming approach of Hirsch/Lamm serves in Eberstadt's view not as mere apologia,rather as a clarion call to commune with something larger and marvelous.In this tense period with death hovering,Rabbi Gottlieb extolls the innate historical particularly Jewish values that see in family forming and strengthening a transcendental path that can help us emerge even stronger from crisis.The Yeshiva of Newark @IDT is proud to partner with Rabbi Gottlieb in sharing his insightsand thoughtsto as wide an audience as possible .We thank the Tikvah Fund for use of this materialPlease visithttp://tikvahfund.orgto discover the richness of the programs and educational opportunitiesoffered by that institution as well as scintillating lectures and interviewsPlease leaveusa review or email us [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rabbis Avraham Kivelevitz and Kalman Worch pick up from 16 years ago,to begin a whole new series of debate and intelligent argument over a wide range of Torah subjects.Rabbi Kivelevitz,based on his own personal observations,cities the sorry state of respect for civil authorities evinced by so many graduates of Yeshivishe institutions, and bemoans the lack of civility displayed by present students towards secular studies teachers and general apathy for the rote subjects taught during the three to four hours usually afforded for their study.He also expresses concern for the bright young person,who due to language issues or other factors cannot excel in Gemara learning, and feels shunted away and inferior,despite having a creative mind.Exposing the students to serious literary fiction from the masters of their craft, with passages analyzed as thoroughly as the Talmidim are expected to pick apart a sugya, will give gravitas to the language and milieu being studied,and bring home the positive virtues found in the non-Jewish world.Within a carefully crafted framework,these classes would unleash the natural critical speculation that all adolescents have as to the nature of the human.As the themes and language are not sacred, passionate Talmudic trained teachers,can create an pedagogic arena where all students can shine in their reading and suggestions to the author's intent.Arguments can flow freely as to how these books and stories,written centuries ago in some cases,are palpably relevant for today's times.Rabbi Worch believes that rigorous and entertaining instruction in the sciences are indeed important,but feels the literary beauty of Tanach and Chazal are what need to be unearthed and stressed .He opines that the pathos and power of Midrashim and Aggadata dwarfs their drawn out English knockoffs(Choni Ha Maagol vs.Rip Van Winkle).He also fears that the overtly Christian views of writers like Milton and C.S.Lewis can dangerously subvert Emunah,while more contemporary authors can easily insert salacious content or innuendo that is inappropriate.The pair bicker over the quality of translations from Kafka to Dostoevsky,and whose fantasy is superior J.K.Rowling's or Phillip Pullman's.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 suggests that the next pandemic's effects would be strongly blunted in the Orthodox communities if they began to look more like the 19th Century's model,where mid sized cities housed vibrant Orthodox life in a North American landscape that would be low on population density,and high on quality of life.He admits that it would take an aggressive combined effort on the part of Jewish rabbinic and lay leadership across the full spectrum of Orthodoxy,and demand massive funding for infrastructure,but would ultimately yield life saving results.Rabbi Bechhofer dismisses the idea as terribly unrealistic and questions whether the average young person who is raised in these fanciful hamlets will have the required sophistication to navigate the complexity of a Torah life in the modern world.Rabbi Bechhofer grills Rabbi Kivelevitz about his own childhood as a product of Memphis,Tennessee,and the pair discuss the unique confluence of circumstances that allowed that sleepy town of the South to produce and nurture such a large percentage of Torah scholars.Rabbi Kivelevitz explains how the Memphis model will probably be never replicated,yet it proves the viability away from the Northestern Megalopolis.Please check out Rabbi Bechhofer's illuminating lecture on the Rabbinic response to the 1918 Spanish fluhereCorrection-After fact checking with Rav Nota Greenblatt's son it was determined that his father arrived in Memphis in 1949,not 1951,and was initially employed as a Talmud Torah Teacher.He did eventually become a Chazan,after teaching a few years -gratis-in the Hebrew Academy that he helped form.We apologize for this error.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 Binny Freedman is a highly engaging and inspirational educator who has a gift for synthesizing difficult, sophisticated material in a way that inspires both the novice and the scholar. His proficiency in applying classic Jewish concepts to contemporary life in a personal and meaningful way has made him a sought after speaker throughout North America and around the world.Rav Binny addresses his audience from isolation in Eretz Yisroel with a brief powerful reading and interpretation of how the ecstatic joyof the Mishkan's inaugural led to the tragic deaths of Aharon's children, Nadav and Avihu.Rabbi Freedman evinces the master teacher's tools in explaining key Hebrew terms and verb usage on display in the section,ויבא ויצאו וירנו ויפלו על פניהםwhile pointing out the use of identical phraseology from Moshe and Aharon's successful bringing down of Shechinah to Nadav and Avihu's terrible errorוַתֵּ֤צֵא אֵשׁ֙ מִלִּפְנֵ֣י ה וַתֹּ֨אכַל֙He peppers the parshanus with cogent insight culled from Rav Shamshon Raphael Hirsch, Rav Yosef Dov Soloveichick, and even Kirk Douglas.The lecture is permeated with Jewish wedding imagery that Rav Binny uses as a metaphor for understanding when to exhibit restraint on your individual passions when they threaten to compete and blunt the communal state already in progress.The onus of disciplining oneself is crucial to leadership, as Rav Binny illustrates from a humbling experience he suffered in military preparedness due to unbridled feeling.As models for constraint, he offers Yosef HaTzadik and Moshe Rabbeinu and underscores the sequence in the Rambam's Hilchos Deos that deals with the destructive consequences of not marshaling anger.He suggests that the laws of Kashrus which are introduced in the parshah immediately after the events of Yom HaSmini, thematically relate to the call for curtailing one's appetite for self fulfillment.Especially for those in Eretz Yisroel, this reading serves as a reminder of how to keep the emotional celebrations of Yom HaShoah,Yom HaZikoron,and Yom HaAtzmaut in check, allowing the Yeridas Ha Eish of the Korbon Tzibur to burn properly without any misfortune.We thank the Orayta Yeshivah for the use of this material-Check out more Shiurim and information on their websitehttps://www.orayta.org/Please leave us a review or comment at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rabbi Worch-Co host of theChavrusaand acclaimed translator of theBnei Yessascharchooses Kabbalistically tinted passages from theAlshich's commentary on Chumash to Parshas Shmini that explain why Aharon and Moshe's participation were essential in the Mishkan Inaugural and what that "Eighth Day" represented and wrought.Get ready to understand the four worlds in a manner that rises above the Medieval/scientifically unsound perception of the early Jewish philosophers constructs and in a way that aligns with and deepens the first statements contained in Pirkei Avos,the mantra of Shimon HaTzaddik.The last third of the class reveals a novel take on why some persons have a natural inclination to certain parts of Torah scholarship or particular Mitzvos and acts of kindness and support,while others move in completely different directions.Rabbi Worch masterfully delineates the stark disagreement between the Alshich and his contemporary the Arizal on this crucial point which is the key in capturing your Chelek in the world to Come,and is based on the 600,000 root souls that left Mitzrayim and how all Jews till the end of our history are bound to some letter contained in the living Book of Torah.We thank the Illinois Center for Jewish Studies for the use of this materialPlease 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 Kalman Worch leads the Shiur through the beautiful passages of this classic work of the Italian scholarRabbi Shimshon Chaim ben Rabbi Nachman Michal Nachmani, who passed away in 1779 .Rav Shimshon in his extensive essays on Parshas Shmini,working off the final section of the Parsha and the Pasuk לְהַבְדִּ֕יל בֵּ֥ין הַטָּמֵ֖א וּבֵ֣ין הַטָּהֹ֑רquotes a long form of our Havdalah Bracha that makes mention of Tumaah and Taharah and the Upper and Lower primordial waters,and the distinctions between Kohanim,Leviim and Yisroelim.Rabbi Worch leads the class through Rav Shimshon's ingenious deciphering of the list that bears on the fundamentals of our faith and will enhance your recitation every Motzei Shabbas.The last part of the lecture deals with the fascinating sources that indicate that many aspects of our Kashrus laws will be altered in the Messianic age,the Zera Shimshon explains this startling concept and allows it to be the springboard into next week's Torah reading,Tazria and the underscoring of the Mitzvah of Milah in its first few verses and why circumcision is performed even on Shabbas.Rabbi Shimshon Chaim had only one child, a son, who died at a young age. Rabbi Shimshon Chaim decided to dedicate his 'Sefarim' to the memory of this child who had no continuity of a family. Hence the name "Zera Shimshon" In the introduction to his work,he promises that anyone that takes upon himself to learn from his writing, will be granted"children, praise, health, 'parnasa', wealth, honor".We thank the Illinois Center for Jewish Studies for the use of this materialPlease 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 Aryeh Klapper is Dean of the Center for Modern Torah Leadership, Rosh Beit Midrash of its Summer Beit Midrash Program and a member of the Boston Beit Din.Rabbi Klapper is a widely published author in prestigious Hebrew and English journals. He is frequently consulted on issues of Jewish law from representatives of all streams of Judaism and responds from an explicit and uncompromised Orthodox stance.In this Shiur, given in late 2017 at Yeshivat Eretz HaTzvi in Yerushalayim -Rabbi Klapper tackles the Halachic issues and responsibilities of seniors dealing with various stages of dementia, sufferers of manic depression, people dealing with extreme paranoia, individuals with antiscocial personality disorder, persons with autism,and down syndrome children.Drawing from actual shailos asked to him,Rabbi Klapper explores whether the Megilah can be read with a Bracha to the Alzheimer afflicted Holocaust survivor,or whether the young woman who was deathly certain the whole Shul was out to strangle her had fulfilled her responsibility to hear Shofar.He also shines a legalistic lens on the common practice of having Bar Mitzvah celebrations replete with Brachos on the Torah for developmentally disabled children who had reached the age of majority.Beginning with an exploration of the concept of "Gadol HaMetzuvah VeOseh....",and the emphatic articulation of Rav Aharon Lichtenstein on the seminal importance that Judaism assigns to being in a relationship to a Commander,touching on the comments of Tosfos in Kedushin who introduces the idea of the "transgressive thrill" that only effects ones who have the obligation,the Rabbi then leads his engaged listeners into asking for themselves if they are comfortable with solutions like those proposed by Rav Chaim Pinchas Scheinberg,that encourage society to support Halachic behavior for these persons due to the principle of Kavod HaBrios,while leaving them in truth without any real obligations.Working off the Eretz HaTzvi Yeshiva students' responses,Rabbi Klapper suggests a framework for creating a Rabbinic Chiyuv for society's sake ,modeled on the Torah's own exemptions for women in Mitzvos aseh She Hazman Grama for the better of the home foundation.He finds precedent for this in the position of Tosfos in Megillah 24 who writes in regards to Rebbe Yehuda Bar illai's opinion that ואפילו נסתמא משנולד מכל מקום חייב הוא מדבנן שלא יהא כנכרי ולא יהא נוהג בו דת יהודי כללHe introduces the ingenious question of Rav Mordechai Feinstein(Rav Moshe's brother)of how someone who is exempt from Mitzvos,can still be bound by the Lo Sosur exhortation from God to follow the legislation enacted by the Rabbis,and leads the class in reading and appreciating the brilliant answer offered that has such consequence.As he approaches the solutions to the thorny problems laid out,Rabbi Klapper treats the Talmidim to quicksilver flashes of the formulations of the Minchas Chinuch in regards to a Child's obligations concerning his inherited slaves circumcision in order to take part in the eating of the Paschal Lamb,and Rav Yaakov Chagiz's logical path in sanctioning the murder of a Shoteh who is Patur in Mitzvos.He concludes with an alternative of the standard text in Rosh haShana 28 preserved by Rashi,of one who blows Shofar to exorcise a demon,where the obligation is fulfilled,despite the clear mental distress the Tokea is enveloped in-which should exclude any level of discharging his Mitzvah .Using a principle put forth by Rav Betzalel Zev Shafran that distinguishes between one overwhelmed completely by mental illness to one who evinces insight into their situation,and struggle to fulfill commandments despite the "Shed" that hounds them,Rabbi Klapper leaves his audience with the tools to navigate this extremely important and in many ways uncharted area of Jewish Law.The Yeshiva of Newark @IDT is proud to partner with Rabbi Klapper to help spread his scholarly thoughtful ideas and Halachic insight to as wide an audience as possible .Please visithttp://www.torahleadership.org/for many more articles and audio classes from Rav Klapper and to find out about his Summer programs as well as Rabbi Klapper's own podcast sitehttps://anchor.fm/aryeh-klapper.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 Mark Gottlieb is Senior Director of the Tikvah Fund and founding Dean of the Tikvah and Maimonides Scholars at Yale University. Prior to joining Tikvah, Rabbi Gottlieb served as Head of School at Yeshiva University High School for Boys and Principal of the Maimonides School in Brookline, MA.His writing has appeared inFirst Things,Public Discourse,the University Bookman,the Algemeiner,andthe Jewish Review of Books. Rabbi Gottlieb is a member of the Orthodox Forum Steering Committee and serves on the Editorial Committee ofTradition: A Journal of Orthodox Jewish Thought.The Rabbi joins Rabbi Kivelevitz to discuss leadership training education,how candidates are vetted and eventually selected,and what constitutes the main focus of the seminars and lectures the fellows attend.Rabbi Gottlieb sees the personal interview as a primary factor, over thegradesand reports from the student's teachers, as well astheessays the applicants submit.He illustrates how hobbies and interests are in many ways an indicator of thethoughtleader that Tikvah is eager to engage.Rabbi Gottlieb distinguishes between the program geared for studentswhoare moderately affiliated with the traditional Jewish community(Maimonides Scholars)and the program serving products of predominantly (but not exclusively)Orthodox day schools(Tikvah Scholars).The Rabbis discuss the balance between general literacy and skills in reading and parsing Jewish texts,and the importance of staffing the leadership seminars with passionate,gifted instructors.Rabbi Gotttlieb describes the incredible effectresulting fromthe hiring of persons like the eminent American philosopher and political economist Professor James R. Otteson,who not only opened the Tikvah students’eyes to the important theories that form the basis of classical liberal political order,he illustrated how this technically underdetermined dynamic is at play in Klal Yisroel’s innate understanding of who the Gadolei HaDor are.When questioned by Rabbi Kivelevitz as to why Tikvah has not attempted to cull their young potential from completely Charedi schools,where the boys(and, separately, young women)have the advantage of strong text proficiency and analysis,Rabbi Gottlieb pointed to Tikvah's role in Eretz Yisroel in catering programs and Torah journals to the Charedi world,and its discovery andcultivationof Rabbi Yehoshua Pfeffer,a student of Rav Asher Weiss, who now serves as head of Tikvah's Haredi Israel division.Rabbi Gottlieb speaks about Tikvah's connections toR'Aharon Kotler,the CEO of Bais Medrash Gevohah,but admits that there is more work to be done in reaching those special Talmidim in the Chasidish and Litvisha yeshivos,who could perhaps through the exposure to greater Western thought take their place as an accepted Gadol ready to tackle the formidable challenges that lay ahead for our people.Listen for the championing of some of the ideas of Pope John Paul II concerning the dignity of the human person,and the significance of Theology in applying and advocating for religious concepts in a modern world.There is also a casual reference to Mark Twain,and an oblique shadow of Phillip Roth.Please leave us a review or email us [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rabbi Binny Freedman is a highly engaging and inspirational educator who has a gift for synthesizing difficult, sophisticated material in a way that inspires both the novice and the scholar. His proficiency in applying classic Jewish concepts to contemporary life in a personal and meaningful way has made him a sought after speaker throughout North America and around the world.This address to current and former students finding themselves in isolation,predominantly in North America was broadcast by Rav Binny on the afternoon of April 7th after he had just completed Bedikas Chametz in his Efrat home.Fascinated by the continuing hallowed custom to search for leaven by candlelight on the eve before Pesach,despite the fact that most homes in our times have been scrubbed clean before the Bedikas Chametz time,Rav Binny suggests a symbolic reason for focusing a measured beam in a dark room.He connects the sense of sight ,and the gratitude we have towards God for granting it to us with the Bracha of "Pokeach Evarim".Citing the Peshat in the admonition against giving Shochad to a judge-where the verb form of "Ever" is used,he concludes that we at times need to have our objectivity realigned,and not allow our natural proclivities,even if they be innate compassion, blind us to the right thing to do.This illuminates the Midrashic statements as to the cause of Yitzchack's "blindness", or wrongful perception (Avraham's tears of mercy at the Akeidah)which are discussed by the Rabbis in the passages that immediately precede the text where Yitzchack voices his desire to give the Brachos to Esav,a man with overwhelming character flaws.Not surprisingly,Rav Binny relates this to the training he received under Shaul Mofaz,as to how to respond when you are stationed in a turret of a tank confronting an 8 year old Jihadist wielding an RPG.Binny gives the issue nuance when there can clearly be two equally plausible ways to asses a situation eg: the Two State solution,or whether new Corona vaccines should be rushed into development,and admits as Rav Soloveichick has pointed out,that sometimes clarity occurs only after the complete arc of events have played out.We thank the Orayta Yeshivah for the use of this material-Check out more Shiurim and information on their websitehttps://www.orayta.org/Please leave us a review or comment at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Given last year as part of the The Tshuvos and Poskim Shiur Of the Yeshiva@IDTRabbi Kivelevitz leads the class into more aspects of Struggling at the Seder with eating materials that are difficult,and downright damaging to your digestive system.Is eating a Maror a real Mitzvah from the Torah in even in the time of Korbon Pesach?Can you just eat less? How important is this Rabbinic directive in our times anyway?Does the Bracha change if you eat less?The discussion traces the Ashkenazik customs of what to use as Maror,referencing the original Talmud text in Pesachim, and why Chazeras (Romaine Lettuce) is considered the prime choice according to Chazal and why this bitter root became the standard.Rabbi Kivelevitz touches on the issues of insect infestation.The Shiur samples selected readings in The Rosh,The Shaagas Aryeh, The Chayeh Adam, Chasam Sofer,Rav Shlomo Ganzfried's Kitzur, ,Rav Chaim Halbershtam,the Imrei Noam,Rav Meir Horowitz quoting his grandfather Rav Naftali of Ropshitz-, the Mahari Asad,the first Bovover Rebbe Rav Shlomoh Halbershtam,Rav Yitzchack Aaron Etinga,Rav Shlomo HaKohen,Rav Shlomo Zalman Ehernreich,Maharash Engel The Satmar Rav and Rav Avraham Blumenkrantz.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.

Unable to address his Kahal on Shabbas HaGadol as has been customary for Jews for over a millenia, Rabbi Duvie Weiss presented a powerful message via video conferencing to the dozens of shut-ins that make up Congregation Ohr Chodosh in Bergenfield New Jersey.Eschewing a typical pilpul in Hilchos Pesach,Rav Duvie inventively explains the role Chazal assigned to Puah/Miriam in providing life sustaining encouragement to the mother and child,this underscores the importance of balancing the medical skill of Shifra and the heart and intuition of Puah.This striving for improvement coupled with an optimistic outlook can hold us in stead beyond the horror of the Pandemic that we are enveloped in.One cannot help be moved by the pain the Rabbi and all of us are experiencing,and his call for strengthening our faith in God and beseeching our Creator to bring us out of this Magefah into a beautiful Messianic future.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 Aryeh Klapper is Dean of the Center for Modern Torah Leadership, Rosh Beit Midrash of its Summer Beit Midrash Program and a member of the Boston Beit Din.Rabbi Klapper is a widely published author in prestigious Hebrew and English journals. He is frequently consulted on issues of Jewish law from representatives of all streams of Judaism and responds from an explicit and uncompromised Orthodox stance.In this Shiur, given recently as a ZOOM video conference,Rabbi Klapper brings to the fore the essential sources behind the decisions necessary to navigate the Corona lockdown,in allowing otherwise unacceptable Halachic positions.e.g. listening to the Megillah reading on Purim,or holding a Minyan through video or teleconference,using a bathtub for a women's Mikvah needs.The Rabbi takes us through a number of the germane Talmudic texts in Sukkah and Nidah,with special emphasis on the opinion of the Tanna Rebbe Yehuda Bar Ilai who regularly allows questionable actions to stand once performed,and the debate between Rashi and Tosfos of how Rebbe Yehuda HaNasi was able to stand by what appeared as a mistaken Psak,due to the principle of Shaas HaDachack.Rabbi Klapper delineates the parameters of reliance on minority opinions due to great monetary loss by investigating the essential argument between Rav Moshe Issereles and Rav Yoel Sirkis as to the significance of Halachic stature the Posek that one wants to rely on holds among the normative majority.Turning to the fascinating Machlokes between the Raavad and Rosh if a dried out Lulav or Esrog can ever be seen as an object to truly fulfill the Mitzvah of the Torah,Rabbi Klapper after expertly staking out the Rosh's extremely novel position, finds precedence in the compromise position of the Bais Yosef to laying a groundwork of adaptation to the situation that confronts us.Rabbi Klapper's warning of indiscriminate use of Halachic opinions penned in the last century when the technology and physical constructs were extremely different is an important call to be heeded by the Poskim attempting to provide direction to a Klal Yisroel overwhelmed by the changes wrought by Covid-19The Yeshiva of Newark @IDT is proud to partner with Rabbi Klapper to help spread his scholarly thoughtful ideas and Halachic insight to as wide an audience as possible .Please visithttp://www.torahleadership.org/for many more articles and audio classes from Rav Klapper and to find out about his Summer programs as well as Rabbi Klapper's own podcast sitehttps://anchor.fm/aryeh-klapper.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.

Inspired by an idea from an old World's Finest Comic,Rabbi Kivelevitz asks Rabbi Bechhofer if he was able to bring back a Gadol to guide us through these desperate times of Covid-19,who would it be?They each suggest a Gaon in Halacha and a different one in Machshavah.Rav Yosef Gavriel extols Rav Shimon Shkop and how his approach in learning is tied to the human experience and Rav Eliyahu Desslerwho could guide the thoughtful Kehilos with his Mussar so tethered to the human psyche.Rav Kivelevitz suggests Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerabach as the incredibe Mechadesh in Halacha,who was innately curious and acutely aware of the exact scientific nature of phenomenon, and Rav Avraham Yitchock HaKohen Kook(aided by Rav Shlomo Yosef Zevin as a Meturgaman) to provide a vision that would place these unprecedented events in a form that would give hope and resilience,seeing them with the Daos drawn from the Omek ha Pshat in Chazal's Midrashim.Here is the original ideahttps://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/8689441.html 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.

He is frequently consulted on issues of Jewish law from representatives of all streams of Judaism and responds from an explicit and uncompromised Orthodox stance.In this Shiur,Rabbi Klapper, uses an Aggadic Talmud text from Mesechet Yoma,and relevant passages from the Rambam's Moreh Nevuchim as his basis to explain Avodas HaKorbonos as a way to return to the spiritual sublimity of Gan Eden.He develops in a compelling way what God's reason was in commanding animal slaughter and burning,rooting it in primal human longing for awakened physical /emotional stimulus.He masterfully uses principles garnered from Sir James George Frazer and Marion Zimmer Bradley to explain the Torah's stringency in not allowing cut stones,and its prohibition of a Kohen ascending to the altar with steps-and provides an eye-opening insight into the laws of Temurah as well.Through the Shiur,there are fascinating reflections on Maimonides's true conception of what our Avodas Hashem can yet transform into come the Messianic times,as well as references to Rav Kook's suggestion of Korbon Mincha only future.The Yeshiva of Newark @IDT is proud to partner with Rabbi Klapper to help spread his scholarly thoughtful ideas and Halachic insight to as wide an audience as possible .Please visithttp://www.torahleadership.org/for many more articles and audio classes from Rav Klapper and to find out about his Summer programs as well as Rabbi Klapper's own podcast sitehttps://anchor.fm/aryeh-klapper.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.

Charlie Harary internationally known investor, strategic adviser and professor and motivational speaker sits down every week with Rabbi Kivelevitz to discuss the interface of Jewish values in the greater western World.The Rabbi asks Charlie for an appropriate Pesach Seder Drash for the Jewish people in this extreme time,when no Shabbas HaGadol drashos will be presented in our Shuls and Batei Medrash.Based on an approach of Rabbi Yehuda Forman, Charlie explains why the Seder seems to take such a meandering route to tell the story of Sippur Yetzias Mitzraim,and doesn't begin with verses from Shemos.He expands the point with the aid of the theories and constructs of prominent social scientists,who draw up what is the type of family narrative that a family can latch onto to use as the nexus for strength and resilience.Rabbi Kivelevitz suggests why we devote so much time to the Bnei Brak Seder and to four types of sons based on Charlie's idea and to why the events of the night of the fifteenth of Nissan are given such scant description in the accepted Haggadah text.The duo then discuss the question of Rav Elazar HaRofeh Ashkenazi,as to why Rebbe Elazar Ben Azariah needed to intoduce his famous statement with the phrase "Behold,I am Like a Man of Shivim Shanah-and yet I have not merited to find the source...."which smacks of conceit and arrogance.Rabbi Kivelevitz shares the ingenious answer that Rav Ashkenazi suggests which resonates even stronger in this dark time.Make sure to hear the musings toward the end of the podcast,as to the future violent contact sports post this Corona shutdown.Please leave us a review or comment at [email protected] more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
