We love using ראשי תיבות - acronyms - in modern Hebrew. We take the initials and between the last two letters we add inverted commas (two apostrophes) to show that it's an acronym rather than an ordinary word. Guy explains that the transformation from word to acronym is so extreme that some words even end up changing their gender!

An extended treatment of this topic by Rabbi Broyde in a groundbreaking essay can be found here “For everything there is a season, and a time for every object of desire under the heavens. … A time to be silent and a time to speak. A time to love and a time to hate.A time for war and a time for peace” (Koheles-3:1 and 3:7-8).….. Indeed, there is a time to speak of war and of peace and a time when political and military considerations augur for silence…. determination of the halakhic propriety of any Israeli incursion is contingent both upon accurate analysis of points of fact as well as resolution of questions of Jewish law. Nevertheless, it is beyond dispute—both as a matter of fact and as a matter of Halakhah—that, once hostilities have commenced, Israel must prevail because the State of Israel cannot afford the luxury of losing a war. Military defeat would assuredly entail the loss of a countless number of Jewish lives. When such threat looms, military action assumes the guise of a “Milchemes Mitzvah” “to deliver Israel from the enemy”.Under such circumstances any action—indeed any word—that gives support to the enemy is an action that endangers Jewish lives…” Rabbi J.David Bleich Contemporary Halachic Problems Volume 3-Part 2-Chapter 11 The Issur Ben Tzvi Hersh Tshuvos and Poskim Shiur was honored to present  one of the leading Jewish scholars of our day Rabbi Michael J.Broyde  professor of law at Emory University School of Law  senior fellow and projects director  at the Center for the Study of Law and Religion who at this dark difficult time in our history discussed through a Torah and secular lens Milchemes Mitzvah The Intersections of Jewish Law, International Law and The Laws of War Rabbi Michael J.

“ The reasoning of AI is unlikely to take the place of district court judges – those trial court judges who make factual determination based on the demeanor of the witnesses and so many more visible cues. So too, they are unlikely to replace Supreme Court judges, since much of the Justices do is decide when they ought to change the rules and replace one rule of interpretation with another – delegating this decision to a computer is no different than delegating the role of Congress to AI and is unlikely. On the other hand, the strengths of AI reasoning could take the place of United States Court of Appeals judges, who are (1) rigidly bound by precedent, (2) functionally interchangeable with each other, (3) randomly assigned to cases, (4) sit in panels, and (5) do almost all their work based on a written record. These five characteristics are more easily AI supplanted given the current state of technology that either policy decisions about the law ought to be or credibility determinations .” Michael Broyde The Issur Ben Tzvi Hersh Tshuvos and Poskim Shiur was honored to present a conversation with one of the leading Jewish scholars of our day Rabbi Michael J.Broyde  professor of law at Emory University School of Law  senior fellow and projects director  at the Center for the Study of Law and Religion Using AI for Psak Halacha Ramifications and Recriminations Plus-Results of a Relevant Test Case Rabbi Michael J.

As we have said in the past, sometimes Hash e m shows us His Hash g a ch a in a very open way. Yesterday I travel ed to Brooklyn from Deal NJ, along with my father and his brother , in order to pay respects to my cousin , Mr. Leon Sutton , who passed away last week at the age of 96 . He was known as the father of Rabbi Shemuel Sutton, the Menahel of Yeshivat Ateret Torah Boys HS, and he was my father's first cousin. When we got there, my father and his brother began reminiscing with the family about their interactions with their cousin. I added that my first interaction with my cousin was when I was in the M irr e r Y eshiva high school over forty years ago. Mr. Sutton lived nearby on Quentin Road, and sometimes I would go there, along with my brother at times, to have dinner. He was always very warm and welcoming, and I recall that he was very proud to share that he had put out a sefer called Morah B'Esbah from the Chida, the great Sephardic rabbi, with a commentary from Rabbi Yehoshua Meir HaKohen from Volozhin. The book was printed in 1906 and it came with approbations from the great Ashkenazi Rabbi Raphael Shapiro of Volozhin, as well as Rav Chaim Ozer Grodzinski, of the Gedolei Hador. The sefer had been in my great grandfather's library, and on the front of the book, it said in Hebrew Abraham David Sithon. He was a great man who opened a synagogue called K'nis Sithon in Bensonhurst. He passed away in 1938. He had a huge library and Mr Leon Sutton, his grandson, had this book from the library. When he got the book, my cousin contacted Rabbi Yaakov Hillel and introduced him to the sefer. Rabbi Hillel was so excited by the sefer that he went on to add his commentary on it , and Mr. Leon Sutton sponsored the publication. As we were speaking about the sefer, Rabbi Shemuel Sutton pulled out the actual original sefer that his father had sent to Rabbi Hillel in 1980! He had been excited by it and that's why he showed it to Rabbi Hillel. When I opened it, I saw a letter dated September 23, 1980 from Rabbi Hillel's Yeshiva thanking Mr Leon Sutton, and telling him there were 480 books on the boat, and 20 books being shipped. There were details about the book and how excited they were about the project. Rabbi Shemuel Sutton told me how the sefer originated from my great grandfather's library and found its way to Rabbi Hillel, who went on to add a commentary, but Rabbi Hillel would not do so without permission from one of the descendants of the author, Rabbi Yehoshua Meir HaKohen, who had passed away in the early 1900s somewhere in Europe. Rabbi Hillel was able to track down one of the author's descendants, an ir religious man who was living on a Kibbutz (as was common in those days, many peopl e from religious backgrounds came to Israel and lost their religion). Rabbi Hillel asked his permission and showed him the sefer . The man read the introduction to the sefer, which says, “ The merit of the gre at Gaon, the genius , the holy Chida should stand for me, that I should merit to sit in the four cubits of Halacha learning, with peace of mind, and I should merit to see children and grandchildren involved in Torah and Mitzv ot . When this ir religious man on the kibbutz saw the introduction that his grandfather wrote, that he had not been aware of, he was so inspired that he went on to research his religion and became a full-fledged Baal Teshuva! Look at this unbelievable hashgacha ! This obviously great man had the zechut that his s efer found its way into the hands of his descendent, and was able to pull him back in Teshuva. And this book, from my great grandfather's library , ended up in the hands of my cousin, Leon Sutton who brought it to Rabbi H illel , who tracked the grandson dow n. What was more fascinating to me was that I heard about this sefer in my very first interaction with my cousin, and it was the one thing that I said at the Shiva house … I had been excited that my first introduction to him was when he showed me this book . He gave me a copy of the sefer . And right there in front of us, was the original s efer, sitting on the table ! I have no knowledge of why. That was the first interaction of Rabbi Yaakov Hillel and our community. The first home that Rabbi Hillel stayed in, in our community, was actually that of Mr. Leon Sutton ! Sometimes Hashem reveals His hand , and we were able to see the tremendous H ashgac ha . Have a wonderful day .

In this episode Rav Yisroel Kaminetzky shares about the life of his tremendously accomplished of his grandfather "Doctor Joe" who played such a pivotal role in establishing Jewish education in America. Rabbi Yisroel Kaminetsky is the founding Menahel of the Davis Renov Stahler (DRS) Yeshiva High School for Boys. Prior to that, he was a Rebbe at Yeshiva University High School for boys for five years. For the past twenty years, he has served as the Educational Director and Mashgiach of the NCSY Summer Kollel Program in Israel. He is a graduate and a Musmach of Yeshiva University.

We spoke on Friday about Lev Chana, an organization which gives out clothing cards to families in need. This past weekend, my father-in-law, Rabbi Nosson Scherman shlita, held a drive in the Yad Yosef Torah Center for Lev Chana, where he told the following story, which he heard directly from the protagonist: It was in the 1920s, when a young man named Reb Avraham Traub, whose father was a Rosh Yeshiva in Radin (the Chafetz Chaim's Yeshiva) developed Typhus. It was a very dangerous disease in those days, before antibiotics. He did not have very good doctors, and he developed a dangerously high fever. The only doctor available in the town told the family that he had no hope, and that it was just a matter of time. His Chaveirim from yeshiva stayed at his bedside saying Tehilim, and his mother told them to run to Chafetz Chaim and tell him what was happening. So they ran and told the Chafetz Chaim that Avraham was deathly ill, and that the doctor said there was no hope. The Chafetz Chaim went into the next room and closed the door. The boys wanted to hear what he would say, how he would pray, what tehilim he would say… so they listened, and what he said was, “Hashem, if his grandfather did so much for You, how can You take away his grandson at such a young age? “ That was it. (Abraham's grandfather had been a successful businessman and was also a Talmid Chacham. Whenever he heard that there was a Yeshiva in financial trouble, he would close his business and go around raising money for that yeshiva. Once he raised enough money, he would bring it to the Yeshiva and then go back and open his business again. He did a lot for the cause of Torah. ) The boys ran back to the house and Baruch Hashem, the fever had broken right at the time of the Chafetz Chaim's short tefila. Avraham recovered, survived the war, and became a Rosh Yeshiva in the Stoliner Yeshiva of Boro Park, where I was the Menahel, at the time when he told me the story. You can see the Ahavat Yisrael clearly. His grandfather did so much for Torah, and because of that, the Chafetz Chaim said, “Ribbono Shel Olam, You have to help his grandson. The man did so much for You!” In other words, when you do something to help other Jews, You are doing it for Hashem. And therefore, the Chafetz Chaim said, Hashem, You must help him. To repeat the famous Midrash, Hashem says, if you take care of Mine, I will take care of yours. If you take care My children before a holiday, I will take care of your children. I like to say that I am selling happiness insurance. You spend a lot of money on Yom Tov, but who says that you're going to be happy? When you spend money on making other people happy, you're buying happiness insurance. Anyone who wishes to participate in this special mitzvah can click on this link https://www.rayze.it/levchana/ Or write a check made out to Lev Chana and mail it to Lev Chana c/o Rabbi David Sutton, 1059 E. 10th St., Brooklyn, NY, 11230. One can also reply to this email, or email me directly at rabbisutton@gmail.com, and a bill will be sent. You can also send a quickpay to: Rabbisutton@gmail.com Tizke Lemitzvot, and May Hashem bless everyone with happiness. Thank you and have a wonderful day.

When We Keep Shabbat, Shabbat Protects Us There once lived a Jew named Sam Zeitlin who was an outstanding cyclist and vied to make the U.S. Olympic team. This was in the 1960's, and Sam encountered a good deal of anti-Semitism as he tried to advance in cycling. One day, he was nearly knocked off his bicycle as he was training, and somebody approached him shouting, “We'll get you next time, Jew.” Sam realized that as a Jew, he had no chance of making the U.S. Olympic team, and so he decided he would try to get to the Olympics with the Israeli team. He contacted the manager of the Israeli cyclist club and said that he could help raise the club to world class standard. They met, and Sam moved to Israel and became a very important member of the cyclist club. He worked very hard to train so he and the club could compete in the 1972 Olympics. However, during this period, he got to know several religious Jews, and eventually became friendly with a certain Rabbi in Bnei-Brak. He began learning about Jewish heritage, and before long he was wearing a kippah and tzitzit. Eventually, he became fully observant, hoping that his religious observance would not get in the way of realizing his dream of competing in the Olympics. However, the Israeli cyclist team told him that it could not accommodate him; tryouts and training sessions scheduled for Shabbat could not be moved. These were federation rules that could not be changed. Sam had already bought an airline ticket for the trip to Germany for the Olympics, but he decided to forget his dream. He was not willing to violate Shabbat for the sake of competing in the Olympics, despite the fact that this was his life's dream. Once he decided to withdraw, all the members of the cyclist team dropped out, as well. Israel sent athletes to compete in other sports, but not cycling. On the tenth day of the Munich Olympics, the Black September terrorist group broke into the complex where the Israeli Olympic team was staying, and killed eleven athletes. Sam Zeitlin and the rest of the cyclist team were spared because of his commitment to Shabbat. Although they mourned the tragic death of their fellow Israelis, they saw how Shabbat observance has the power to protect. כי אשמרה שבת קל ישמרני – when we keep Shabbat, Shabbat keeps us. Another story is told of a Syrian Jew from Mexico named Jacobo Schrem. He had a building which he was trying to sell, but the building had a lot of empty space and was not very profitable. One Friday morning, he was meeting with a prospective buyer, trying to sell the building, but the negotiations were proceeding slowly. The group that was looking into the building was scheduled to leave the city the next day, and so this was his only opportunity to close the deal. As time passed, he realized that he might not finish the deal before Shabbat. Jacobo had just recently begun attending Torah classes at night in the Aram Soba Kollel in Polanco, and had not always observed Shabbat or attended synagogue. He was not sure whether he should leave the meeting to prepare for Shabbat, or remain to close the deal. He ultimately made the courageous decision to go home, and he lost the deal. While he felt proud of his commitment to Shabbat, he could not help but wonder whether this was the right decision and worth the price. Two weeks later, on Thursday morning, September 19, 1985, a powerful earthquake struck Mexico City, killing thousands of people and destroying hundreds of buildings. In the aftermath of the quake, the Mexican government moved major corporations and agencies into the relatively few buildings that had not sustained damage. Jacobo's building was one of those buildings, and he sold it for a huge profit. Over the years, Jacobo never shared this story with anyone. But years later, at a siyum he held to celebrate the completion of his first Masechet, he told over this story to teach everybody about the blessings and rewards that result from Shabbat observance. One of the people in attendance was Rabbi Shea Deutsch, who now serves as Menahel of Yeshivat Orchot Chaim in Lakewood. Rabbi Deutsch told me that one Jacobo's sons married the daughter of Rosh Kollel. He was thus rewarded both materially and with blessings in his family. כי אשמרה שבת קל ישמרני – we only gain from observing Shabbat.

Rabbi Yossi Kenigsberg is the principal of Mesivta Yesodei Yisroel in Elkins Park Pennsylvania, a fledgling but vibrant High school that is part of the vast network of educational institutions under the Touro umbrella.Rabbi Kenigsberg is an educator with almost four decades of experience and has served as a principal in Torah Day schools and Yeshivos for over a quarter of a century.Along with being a supervisor for the renowned nationwide Catapult Learning where he has been intensively involved with summer enrichment learning for inner city children, he routinely consults in cases of severe learning disabilities as a licensed Wilson dyslexia practitioner.Rabbi Kenigsberg received an M.A in Mental Health Counseling in 2008.He joins his friend of over forty years,Avraham Kivelevitz, to discuss one of the most pressing endemic problems that plagues the Yeshivish school system.It is not the dearth of essential reading and writing skills in the curriculum that was the focus of New York Cityinvestigators splashed in the headlines last year .(See the important corrective article on those points by Moshe Krakowski here)The actual scandalous open secret is the incredible dropout rate of teachers assigned to those programs, and the rampantchutzpah evinced by the Talmidim, to the Jewish and Gentile instructors.The Hanhalah of the Yeshivos routinely issue stern warnings to the children, exhorting the school population toexhibit "midos tovos" and respect the qualified educators.The children are lectured to understand the importance that lays in their future by mastering the subjects being taught, yet to little avail.Rabbis Kenigsberg and Kivelevitz are both seasoned veterans of these programs and carry the memory of the apathy andabuse issuing from students,oft times coupled with incompetent administrative micromanagement that places small band -aids on large festering wounds.In his new position, Rabbi Kenigsberg has been able to implement an effective program, staffed with seasoned professionals that have earned a respect bordering on reverence from the 25 young men that comprise the present enrollment of the school.Unlike other right wing Yeshivos that have limited teleconferencing partner learning and instruction to Limudei Kodesh,( see here for On Principle's interview with a principal that explains their rationale) Yesodei Yisroel's eager student body hasno qualms in handling real-time interactive instruction throughout the three hours of the afternoon time allotted for core subjects and is arguably thriving even in the midst of the Corona lock down.Kenigsberg ascribes the success to the wonderful relationship he has with the Menahel on site, and the guidancethat organically stems from the other "Yesodei" high schools inTouro's stable:Yesodei Yeshurun in Queens, and YesodeiHaTorah in Connecticut.On one level, these schools are being developed as feeder schools for Yeshivas Ohr Ha Chaim and Landers College forMen.More significantly, through its careful hiring and creation of an environment of transparent communication,Touro seems to have found the recipe for staff pride and satisfaction.Bernard Lander's success in bringing far flung colleges under one banner, has resulted in the ability of these preparatoryschools to offer compensation commensurate with the skills of the instructors.Staff retention is widely accepted as the single mostimportant element for providing stability.Successive classes will graduate and matriculate to higher education and leave the Yeshiva High schools with an outlook towards math, science, history and English language that is unapologetically positive.Rabbi Kivelevitz speculates that unlike its larger rival,Yeshiva University, Touro doesn't have to defend a Torah U Maadaphilosophy which has caused frequent rifts between representatives of each wing.Unburdened by the shambling labyrinth-like make up of YU,where mixed messages are received by the college students regarding the primacy of Torah learning and a Rabbinic career,bochurim whohave gone through the Yesodei-Ohr Ha Chaim-Landers system understand the choices in front of them, and are groomed to enter the professional workforce as good citizens, and authentic Bnei Torah.Please leave us a review or email us at ravkiv@gmail.comFor more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rav Simcha Mordechai Cook is the Menahel/Principal of the Mechina (High School)division of Ner Israel Rabbinical College in Baltimore Maryland.For over sixty years the school has been one of America's premier Charedi preparatory high schools,dedicated to fostering within its students the understanding of the Talmud in the classic Lithuanian fashion,and building Bnei Torah ready to accept leadership positions in teaching and community affairs.Rav Cook's advice and ideas are consistently sought after,due to his intelligence and clarity of purpose,backed by close to fifty years of experience in education.A trailblazing article on the goals of Charedi Yeshiva education in the 21st Century penned by Rav Cook can be found here.Rabbi Kivelevitz was a student of the present day Menahel when he was his ninth grade Rebbe in 1973; it was only natural for Kivelevitz to turn to his old roots to discover first hand how the Mechina with its intense schedule of three sedarim of chavrusa learning combined with Shiurim from Rabbeim was continuing under lock down orders in Maryland.Rav Cook describes candidly the challenges,and how through trial and error,and consultation with Gedolei Yisroel, the school set up a realistic framework,and aided by Torah Umesorah's Chrome Books (given free to every Talmid,) live interactive learning on par with other educational institutions are now continuing.The "Torah True" technological wizards of Torah Umesorah have constructed a system that allows connectivity without the perceived dangers of the Internet.see here about the wide range of programs under their umbrella.Rabbi Kivelevitz wonders about the privacy issues that can be raised with such individual monitoring capabilities in the hands of the Hanhalah.He also hopes that students that are thriving in the new set-up will be allowed to make use of the virtual distance model after the situation normalizes.Rav Cook understands fully that not one shape mold fits all,and illustrates the varied way students absorb information with a quaint vignette from his own English boyhood,see here for a hint.Rabbi Kivelevitz citing that one of the reasons for Ner Israel's leadership role in the past was its twin commitment to excellence in Judaic and secular studies, wonders how that balance with strong emphasis on the "Three R's" can be maintained from lock down.Rav Cook admits that for the sake of salvaging the fewer hours that could be demanded from their students,the rigorous demands in those subjects were perforce toned down. The students are viewing pre-recorded lessons from their actual instructors, and taking tests on the honor system.The pair of old friends engage in quite a dose of reminiscences from times past and the challenges the young Rebbe had with the precocious Kivelevitz child. Rabbi Kivelevitz reminds his Rebbe of how Rav Cook once caught him with musical contraband(a cassette of Top 40 hits) and the consequences that ensued.Here (for a video) or here (for just audio)is what was Kivelevitz was listening to when he was caught............remember to shut it off when your Mashgiach walks in.....Please leave us a review or email us at ravkiv@gmail.comFor more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
