It is focusing on things like networking and knowledge sharing to drive towards better outcomes including ethical AI.Some key takeaways/thoughts from Wendy's point of view:Right now, we try to break up the aspects of data into discrete disciplines - and then work on each completely separately - far too much. Privacy, security, compliance, performance, etc. Instead, we need to focus on the holistic picture of what we're trying to do and why.Communication is key to effective data work and driving value from data. Hire product managers and focus on the why. Break through the historical perceptions of data as a service organization. Drive to what matters - outcomes over outputs - and focus on delivering value."What's the point of being focused on the data if you don't understand the business that the data is supposed to be used for?"?Controversial?: "There is no transformation without automation." If you want data to play a part in transforming the business, you need to focus on automation. Data related work can't be toil work or most won't even do it."You will never be as successful as you can be as a data organization if you're not able to influence your IT partners, your product teams, your business teams."For far too many companies, data is just an afterthought.

Losing one's job can be an extremely difficult and emotionally taxing experience for many people. It can impact nearly all aspects of life. A downsized person can go through the gamut of emotions—shock, disbelief, sadness and anger. For those lacking a financial safety net, the job loss can be traumatic for the impacted person and their family. In this LinkedIn Live, Wendy Turner-Williams, the former chief data and artificial intelligence officer at Tableau, breaks the taboo of talking about long-term unemployment. Although she had a C-suite title, she did not find herself with a golden parachute. Turner-Williams, the sole provider for her family, is taking things into her own hands by building a startup company called TheAssociation.AI.

Rabbi Kivelevitz sets the "table" by stating that the Covid Pandemic is keeping many people at home and close to their refrigerators and pantries, making them vulnerable to the enticement of comfort foods.Doctor. Juni outlines the essential features of any comforting stimuli as being linked to familiarity, availability, and a primary association with pleasant feelings. Kivelevitz speculates that in the face of mature adult-type concerns for safety, resorting to eating seems a form of regression to primitive early childhood basics. Juni deepens the idea by indicating the phenomenon as a defensive form for denial, where all issues cease to be relevant with the individual concerning themselves solely with food. The professor believes this denial mindset is the engine for refusal to comply with social distancing and masking as well Kivelevitz moves the conversation to another facet of overeating: the negative reactions from parents and family which is often coupled with “fat shaming” by peers and contemporary society. Correlating these repercussions with a parallel evisceration of self-esteem, Juni argues that these features are the subconscious goals of individuals who see themselves as failures. Beating themselves up, behaving self-destructively, and contributing to the self-demoralization, is a behavioral outcry of defeat. They aim to become the pathetic and helpless child who will elicit salvation from a parental figure of years gone by.The discussants agree that Comfort Food regression is a phenomenon which is linked to the exaggerated value that contemporary Western society places on slimness. Juni comments that in the first half of the 20thcentury, a plump (zaftig) body was an icon of physical health, economic success, and attractiveness. As such, he concludes, our valuing slimness along with the hounding and humiliation of those who do not or cannot conform to such standards, brings great harm to the mental health of those who are shunned in the process.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 ravkiv@gmail.comFor more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Sobered by the attack on the Capitol January 6th, Kivelevitz and Juni deem it important to examine individual behavior when tethered to an extremist group.Moving beyond the Trumpist yahoos, Kivelevitz invokes situations as varied as Woodstock, early 20th century lynchings, the George Floyd protests, Messianic Cult tragedies, Nazi Germany demonstrations, and the not always benign manifestations of what occurs yearly in Uman. Juni explains that mob mentality is essentially a negation of personal identity along with any personal values or judgment in favor of a grotesque form of amalgamation. The doctor underscores that such behavior occurs primarily in groups which have a single forceful leader. Kivelevitz claims the costuming of the protestors at the Capitol riots is comparable with the camouflage combat gear of elite special forces,and the hoods and robes of the Klan. The rabbi suggests that such costumes facilitate a “splitting of personality” as they allow the protestors to disavow their real selves. Referring to his T-Group work with minorities, Juni refers to Jungian Psychoanalytic Theory, as elaborated by Harvard Professor Phillip Slater, regarding collective consciousness in group psychology as a kind of bee colony in emergency mode. Recognizing the powerful psychological transformative dynamics of mobs, Kivelevitz questions whether individuals should be held fully culpable and responsible for their actions in such events.While dodging the merits of punishment, Juni agrees that almost anyone, regardless of their personal values and moral integrity, is prone to get carried away in mob hysteria in certain circumstances, citing more benign anecdotal examples from less extreme “normal” group effects.Doctor Samuel Juniis one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today.He has published groundbreaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals, and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.Samuel Juni studied inYeshivas Chaim Berlinunder Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as aTalmidof Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick.ProfessorJuni is a prominent member of theAssociation of Orthodox Jewish Scientists, and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences.Associated with NYU since 1979,Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in important research.Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded onpsychometric methodologyand based on a psycho-dynamicpsychopathologyperspective.He is arguably the preeminent expert inDifferential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studiesentailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations.Professor Juni created and directed NYU's Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titledCross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments.Based inYerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors.Below is a partial list of the journalsto which Professor Juni has contributed over 120 articles.Many are available on lineJournal of Forensic PsychologyJournal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma.International Review of VictimologyThe Journal of Nervous and Mental DiseaseInternational Forum of PsychoanalysisJournal of Personality AssessmentJournal of Abnormal PsychologyJournal of Psychoanalytic AnthropologyPsychophysiologyPsychology and Human DevelopmentJournal of Sex ResearchJournal of Psychology and JudaismContemporary Family TherapyAmerican Journal on AddictionsJournal of Criminal PsychologyMental Health, Religion & CultureAs Rosh Beis Medrash, Rabbi Avraham Kivelevitz serves asRavandPosekfor the morningminyanat IDT.Hundreds of listeners around the globe look forward to his weeklyShiurinTshuvos and Poskim.Rav Kivelevitz is aMaggid ShiurforDirshu Internationalin Talmud and Halacha as well as a Dayan with theBeth Din of America.Please leave us a review or email us at ravkiv@gmail.comFor more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Smart-phone addiction, time wallowing video games, trolling in chatrooms, obsessive twitter checking, these are all part of the new normal.Doctor Juni reminds us that the toll on personality, relationships, and mental health has been significant. Rabbi Kivelevitz responds that electronic devices and platforms have been lifelines to many during the Covid Pandemic. The discussants then begin an examination of key aspects of the connection between immersion in electronic communication devices and problematic mental health. Kivelevitz notes that gadgets have fostered psychological alienation by eliminating direct human conversation and interactions. Juni stresses that the devices also enable many to communicate and form relationships which they were developmentally or psychologically unable to do in a direct mode. Repeating complaints that have been voiced by many social commentators, the co-hosts illustrate how cyber gadgets have usurped thoughtful human pastimes (such as real discussions or reading a book),and by forcing persons to be constantly "on" these electronic appendages have eliminated opportunities for actual self-reflection.The Doctor and the Rabbi underscore how these media have served as equalizers of all "friendships" to a shallow common denominator. A healthy converse of this lamentable situation, where disconnect provides growth of character, is highlighted, Kivelevitz asserts, in the arc of development trod by the Tom Hanks protagonist in Robert Zemeckis' Cast Away .Kivelevitz further points out that Israel has the world's highest per-capita cell phone use, suggesting that this phenomenon is a cause of severe problems in the Jewish world. The addiction to virtual connectivity has spawned particular problems for the traditional way of observing Shabbas. Kivelevitz recounts the ubiquitous texting that goes on among youngsters who consider themselves Modern- Orthodox, with Juni confirming that this has spread into the Haredi and Chasidic worlds. The Doctor states that refraining from using their phones on Shabbas is close to impossible for many youngsters and adults in our communities. Kivelevitz wonders whether some Halachic accommodation may be vital to keep many self-identified religiously observant people in the fold, likening such accommodations to those allowing the Orthodox to walk the streets on Shabbas despite the triggering of surveillance cameras, and encouraging the constructions of Eruvin in major metropolitan areas which enable families to leave their homes, despite the severity of laws violated whichan unprejudiced reading of the sources would yield.Both agree that “there is no going back from here", just as sociologists assure us that distanced relationships will stay the norm even after the Covid pandemic eases.

Rabbi Kivelevitz begins the episode by noting that the mentality of many drivers is inconsistent with their normal behavior, citing in particular that road rage is often triggered in people who are not usually aggressive and that drivers – and particularly Israeli drivers --often engage in overly risky behaviors. Professor Juni responds by delineating the psychological profile of such a driver as an anonymous individual who becomes transformed into a dehumanized extension of the vehicle, as s/he regressed to a competitive primitive survivalist existence.Commenting on the outrageous driving behavior of some Israelis, Juni explains this as deriving from the “living on the edge” stance which is so much part of the army experience, and – to some extent – the sense of emergency felt by Israelis in general due to perceived constant existential threat. He further remarks, that when distanced from oneself in an anonymous depersonalized role, the Israeli driver is predisposed to a state of keen competitiveness where the aim of “winning” becomes paramount, resulting in total abandonment of social mores, human values of decency, and the rational assessment of danger.Doctor Samuel Juniis one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today.He has published groundbreaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals, and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.Samuel Juni studied inYeshivas Chaim Berlinunder Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as aTalmidof Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick.ProfessorJuni is a prominent member of theAssociation of Orthodox Jewish Scientists, and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences.Associated with NYU since 1979,Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in important research.Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded onpsychometric methodologyand based on a psycho-dynamicpsychopathologyperspective.He is arguably the preeminent expert inDifferential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studiesentailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations.Professor Juni created and directed NYU's Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titledCross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments.Based inYerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors.Below is a partial list of the journalsto which Professor Juni has contributed over 120 articles.Many are available on lineJournal of Forensic PsychologyJournal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma.International Review of VictimologyThe Journal of Nervous and Mental DiseaseInternational Forum of PsychoanalysisJournal of Personality AssessmentJournal of Abnormal PsychologyJournal of Psychoanalytic AnthropologyPsychophysiologyPsychology and Human DevelopmentJournal of Sex ResearchJournal of Psychology and JudaismContemporary Family TherapyAmerican Journal on AddictionsJournal of Criminal PsychologyMental Health, Religion & CultureAs Rosh Beis Medrash, Rabbi Avraham Kivelevitz serves asRavandPosekfor the morningminyanat IDT.Hundreds of listeners around the globe look forward to his weeklyShiurinTshuvos and Poskim.Rav Kivelevitz is aMaggid ShiurforDirshu Internationalin Talmud and Halacha as well as a Dayan with theBeth Din of America.Please leave us a review or email us at ravkiv@gmail.comFor more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rabbi Kivelevitz and Professor Juni begin by recounting their respective experiences growing up in predominantly Christian neighborhoods. Both recall being enamored by the holiday spirit of goodwill and a sense of people attempting to overcome their negative tendencies. Kivelevitz recalls being enthralled by the holiday season music, decorations, and neighbors' family get-togethers. In the same vein, Juni recalls his guilt appreciating the beauty of the choral music, and his awe of holiday services heard from the open church doors in the slum where he grew up. During this season, he observed the transformation of threatening personages into respectable-looking worshippers, as he discovered that Christians had a genuine belief in God. He gained respect for the dominant religion which -- as he matured and entered the secular world as a student -- morphed into a stance of respecting religiosity as an attitude regardless of particular beliefs or behavior codes.Kivelevitz notes efforts by some to de-religionize the Holiday spirit as less Christian and more human-secularist in tone. These efforts have been ascribed to a pernicious Jewish plot to destroy religionin some right wing propaganda. Kivelevitz citesthe wording of a sign on his neighbor's lawn: Put Christ Back into Christmas.The concept of “Nittel Eve” (designating key nights of the holiday season) is discussed. On these evenings, some Jewish sub-groups minimize good deeds and religious rituals, with the rationale that spiritual benefits may be usurped by supernatural Christian forces. Juni views that stance as consistent with the belief in evil or dark forces he was raised with – such as the devil or Satan – which are actual negative counterparts to a positive deity.The Doctor expounds on a psychosocial maxim that minorities necessarily feel inferior to members of the host culture – especially in oppressive and subjugating contexts. He extends the principle to argue that Diaspora Jews therefore also feel that Judaism is lacking in some respects compared the religion of the greater culture.Kivelevitz feels that this negativity toward one's own religion is heightened by efforts of Diaspora Jews to assimilate economically and socially into the host culture, despite their avowed fealty to their own heritage.The discussant grappling with the options Diaspora Jews have in view of their a priori feelings of inferiority to a non-Jewish host religious culture -- other than making Aliya. They recognize efforts by some to adjust Judaism so that it is less distinct from, and more in line with, a non-specific inclusionary religious template. This is contrasted with the opposite solution to self-isolate (e.g. Monroe and other Haredi colonies in New York and elsewhere). Asserting that both such efforts are destined to ultimately fail, Juni argues that marked negative effects can be mitigated by recognizing social realities straightforwardly. This entails admitting that we are affected by feelings of inferiority in some respects, and making a genuine effort to understand the host culture. He believes such a stance is antidote to distortions information-withholding about the non-Jewish world – a standard in traditional Jewish education. Prof, Juni hopes that an honest portrayal of our social milieu may well decrease the likelihood of youngsters becoming enamored when they encounter positive and alluring aspects of their host culture they were unaware of.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 ravkiv@gmail.comFor more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rabbi Kivelevitz grounds the discussion by pointing out that Chanukah celebrates the triumph of Jewish aggression and violence perpetrated by the Kohanim (Temple priests) whose function was traditionally peaceful, scholarly, and spiritual, and highlights that the Hasmonean dynasty was subsequently plagued by internecine enmity and bloodshed which led to the destruction of the Judaic kingdom. Kivelevitz conjectures that this was the result of the release of overt aggression from the Pandora's Box where Jewish society had kept it sealed. Professor Juni begins his presentation of aggression by stating that it is a basic inborn human trait rather than merely being reactive to perceived threat. He argues that aggression – like sexuality -- is positive and functional, and is thus best dealt with by sublimation and redirection into socially enhancing alternatives, rather than being seen as a negative phenomenon which needs to be stamped out early in life. Kivelevitz cites Talmudic references about certain societally-necessary vocations being outlets for innate hostile tendencies, linking them to the modern roles of police officers. The Rabbi decries contemporary misguided pacifist efforts, such as defunding the police, as potentially destructive to society given pervasive aggressive elements in all of us. Aggression, as Dr. Juni sees it, yields psychopathy only when it finds expression in unbridled interpersonal enmity yielding an antisocial personality. Kivelevitz sees the Maccabean spirit embodied in modern Israel, as he sums up the discussion by his take-away lesson from Chanukah as the necessity of balancing the judicious use of aggression in the service of bettering society and enhancing the quality of life and religious freedom.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 ravkiv@gmail.comFor more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rabbi Kivelevitz begins the podcast by noting recent social events where contemporary notions of human rights are given precedence to traditional ideas of religious freedom. He particularly points to such causes as climate change and environmental consciousness as values which gained high visibility. Prof. Juni then addresses the religious, psychological, and psychiatric notions of morality and values. He points out that many modern thinkers have promoted the notion that science can be the basis for human values, in contrast to Locke and other philosophers whose notions of human rights were based on divine revelation (as incorporated into the U.S. Constitution). He also notes that psychiatry definitely views individuals who do not have a sense of right and wrong as defective. At the same time, Prof. Juni notes that even the psychiatric diagnostic formulation of psychopathy has been seen by some critics (notably Thomas Szasz) as reflecting political social enforcement tools rather than being medically based as such. Kivelevitz responds by discussing morality under the philosophical notion of natural law. He points out that the biblical stories of Cain and Abel and Sodom/Gomorrah hinge on values before they were codified in the Torah. He also cites underlying themes of morality throughout the Torah (particularly in citations from Isaiah) which are not linked to specific commandments, arguing that right and wrong have historically been viewed as intrinsic human notions. Juxtaposing that with the elevation of environmentalism (being green) to the more traditional moral values, Juni and Kivelevitz grapple with the chicken-egg problem --whether intuitive notions of right and wrong proceeded codified religious/social mandates versus the converse. Dr. Juni notes that notions of “should” or “ought” originate developmentally from parental injunctions which are then internalized, eventually becoming autonomous concepts which no longer link to external reinforcers.Outlining the perspective of the Rishonim (middle age Talmudic authorities of the first half of the 11thto 12thCentury) on the nature of morality, Kivelevitz argues that Western intelligentsia essentially hijack religious imperatives as they formulate universal values (such as democracy) bereft of their religious sources. He cites the contemporary prevalence of politico-social enforcers (exemplified by Cancel-Culture and PETA shaming strategies) as deplorable means of inculcating positive values.

Inspired by Tamara Jenkins's critically acclaimed Private Life, detailing a husband and wife's struggles to have a child, Doctor Juni sets forth some steep psychological challenges that threaten any happy resolution to many Orthodox couples faced with the same quandary confronting the fictional characters in the film.Rabbi Kivelevitz points out that adoption was originally restricted to orphans and viewed solely as an act of kindness to abandoned children. The discussants outline the religious, cultural, and psychological aspects of the Fertility Anguish Syndrome.Kivelevitz eloquently depicts the prevalent pain of childlessness which he sees as a potential threat to the self-concept of some couples as it mitigates marital viability. This is especially true in cultures where childrearing is the cardinal purpose of marriage. This, in addition to the positive value children have on the richness of the marital relationship proper.On the flip side, Prof. Juni elaborates on the pernicious effects of mandates on any human endeavor. They are in agreement, however, that resentment will prove inevitable in reaction to the traumas often connected to IVF and adoption procedures, and will burst to the surface with negative repercussions.Prof. Juni is emphatic that there is always an underlying feeling of resentment on the part of adopted children. Arguing that children are best off if they never become aware of their adoption, Dr. Juni acknowledges that Halachic guidelines preempt this possibility in religiously observant families – particularly when adopting a non-Jewish child.From the Rabbinic perspective,. Kivelevitz shares details of the keen sensitivity to personal issues by the contemporary Rabbinate and outlines Halachic innovations in the IVF and adoption arenas. He also shares his experiences in the Modern Orthodox community, where he finds no evident prejudice toward adopted children who bear tell-tale signs of hailing from non-Jewish heritages.The episode stresses the value of couples having their eyes wide open before considering a response to childlessness . Kivelevitz promotes the option of coming to terms with the reality of infertility and considering adoptive or other options, while Juni stresses the need for preemptive counseling to anticipate the negative effects inherent in any steps they may consider.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 ravkiv@gmail.comFor more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rabbi Kivelevitz begins the discussion by requesting an analysis of the rich biblical narratives of the Patriarchs' relationships with their siblings, spouses, and children. This engenders a joint exploration of the biblical themes of favoritism among children, sibling rivalry, and the mutability of the first-born role – as well as the positive vs negative effects of these phenomena. Based on Adlerian personality theory as systemized in Walter Toman's Family Constellation Its Effects on Personality and Social Behavior, Prof. Juni outlines the immutable character traits of oldest siblings, youngest siblings, the middle child, and the only child – including strengths and weaknesses. Juni highlights the success/failure of pairings of specific combinations, with pointed implications for relationship harmony and stability.Rabbi Kivelevitz shifts the emphasis in order to evaluate the suitability of these various personalities for leadership and governing abilities, cornering the doctor to apply the theory to the style of political figures. Innovative ,out-of-the-box leadership is seen by Juni to be characteristic of younger siblings who have a hard time competing head-on with established leaders. The professor stresses the profound effects of societal gender roles on family life, spelling out the importance of congruence of basic beliefs and attitudes on one hand, which he contrasts with the need for non-congruence (complementarity) when it comes to differential roles within any dyadic relationship. The episode concludes with Kivelevitz again seeking a confluence between the lessons of personality theory and the lessons to be learned from the patriarchs, with particular relevance to marital relations and child rearing strategies.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 ravkiv@gmail.comFor more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.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 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 ravkiv@gmail.comFor more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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 ravkiv@gmail.comFor 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 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 ravkiv@gmail.comFor more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Inspired by a fascinating monograph authored by J.J.Gross entitled Masculine Antisemtism/Feminine Antisemitism Feminine Jewishness/Masculine Jewishness, Doctor Juni adds his unique perspective to the phenomenon that has hounded our people relentlessly in various forms, Anti-Semitism. The complete episode results in an overall analysis by Juni and Kivelevitz of liberalism among modern Jews, and how it may be contributing to the de-identification of Jews with Judaism.Kivelevitz brings up the championing of total non-denominationalism by Jews who were part of major revolutionary movements (Communism, in particular) .Tikkun Olam ,though highly touted by many liberal thinkers as the salient contribution of the people of Israel, is seen by the Professor and the Rabbi as being part of an egalitarian Philosophy which has diluted authentic Judaism .Doctor Juni further argues that the trend advanced by academians and many clerics has led, what was once seen as a distinct religion, to be valued ,even by its members, only as a part of a contemporary intersectionality.Drawing on Gross' thesis, Juni underscores how this view has bred thinly veiled racism, outright prejudice, anti-Semitism and a demonizing of Zionism.The Doctor articulates a psychological basis for his observations of continued Jewish self-persecution and self-hatred. He relates this in great part to what he terms the “Galus Complex".Kivelevitz points out the similarities between the dwindling numbers of the Reform and Conservative movements and the deterioration of non-evangelical Protestant churches and, the sharp drop in attendance at Catholic Churches throughout the Western world.J.J. Gross is a veteran creative director and copywriter, who blogs frequently for the Times of Israel on both political issues and parshas hashavua.

Recent events of social and community upheaval in the USA and Israel are examined through the general lens of Ego Psychology. Misguided coping strategies with the anxiety spawned by the Corona Pandemic are seen as contributing to the unraveling of the social fabric globally, resulting in general discord, eruptions of violence, and vocal intergroup hatred. Rabbi Kivelevitz suggests that the failure of these strategies has been the primary fuel for the destruction associated with BLM protests, election-related conspiracies, the erosion of civility in politics, and group-engendered dangerous health practices. Prof. Juni spells out adaptive and disruptive psychological Defense Mechanism options which we all use to deal with in coping with personal, family, and prolonged crisis situations, and outlines specific stances which are most likely to protect individuals and families from decompensation. He highlights extant American conspiracy theories, anti-mask movements, outrageous violence/looting protests, grouping these phenomena with extremist Israeli agitation of religious wars among certain sects, rock throwers, police baiting, and “Shabbes” or “Shiksa” yellers – pointing to such extremist behaviors as telltale signs of reactive defensive processes against intolerable threats of anxiety.Prodded by Rabbi Kivelevitz to articulate a recipe for coping, Prof. Juni outlines adaptive strategies with Corona anxiety, stressing rational assessments of contagion chance based on accurate data and urging those with severe coping difficulties to request from their physiciansprescription anti-anxiety medicationto be taken PRN (as needed).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 ravkiv@gmail.comFor more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

With divorce rates spiking world-wide during the Pandemic, including the Orthodox Jewish world, Rabbi Kivelevitz asks the professor his views on sustaining a married relationship.The Rabbi outlines the roots of marriage as stemming from a confluence of a gender-rooted and role-differentiated efficient arrangement intertwined with a Divinely designed living ideal.Doctor Juni analyzes the contrasting implications of religiously mandated marriage, divorce taboos, and clashes of personal interest / styles / objectives among marital partners. Recounting anecdotal and clinical episodes, Dr. Juni illustrates different levels of emotional connectedness and personal relatedness among ethnic subgroups – particularly among Hareidi and fundamental religious movements.He explores the benefits of divorce, while arguing that even the “amicable divorce” is a damaging experience to children.The pair are careful not to downplay the negative repercussions of toxic marriages, stressing that a balance of benefits and losses needs to be evaluated by each individual based on their values and personality. Juni sidesteps questions of “oughts” and “should” while staunchly promoting the positive and mental health benefits of being truthful with spouses and with oneself – even when these push marital dyads toward divorce, or persuade individuals to avoid marriage in the first place.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 ravkiv@gmail.comFor more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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 ravkiv@gmail.comFor more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

With the imminent advent of Rosh HaShana 5781,Rabbi Kivelevitz elicits Doctor Juni's take on understanding our fragile mortality.Proceeding from 19th century romanticism's speculation on the nature of individual consciousness,the conversation unfolds as an attempt to balance modern brain science, ethical social theory,and anthropological findings that speak to the earliest and most fundamental definitions of human society.Along the way the doctor offers his own interpretation of Maimonides rationale for the Mitzvah of Tekias Shofar.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 as Rav and Posek for the morning minyan at IDT.Hundreds of listeners around the globe look forward to his weekly Shiur in Tshuvos and Poskim.Rav Kivelevitz is a Maggid Shiur for Dirshu International in Talmud and Halacha as well as a Dayan with the Beth Din of America.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.

Rabbi Kivelevitz welcomes Doctor Sam Juni and Rabbi Shmuel Skaist to discuss how the Rabbinical and Midrashic take on Tshuva,repentance, remorse, and commitment,align with theories of psychotherapy.The major question dealt with is, whether personality can be modified.The perspectives of traditional Judaism, classical psychiatry, and philosophical determinism are presented by the discussants to clarify what has loomed as the enigma of free will. Doctor Juni posits the behaviorist perspective. He argues,based on his extensive work with patients, that we can change our behaviors, relationships, the personality is essentially impervious to modification.The Rabbis engage with the professor citing personal experienceswith students congregants, that temper this perspective. Specific problems in addiction are highlighted to clarify some of the most difficult questions about human transformation and heeding the Torah's call to revamp one's life and transcend personal challenges.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 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 & CultureRabbi Shmuel Skaist is theRosh Yeshivaof the Yeshiva of Newark at IDT in Newark, New Jersey and a licensed therapist,employed by the Jewish Family Service of New Jersey.He holds a Master's Degree in Clinical Counseling from Bellevue University.He served as a Senior Lecturer atOhr NaavaWomen's Torah Center in Brooklyn, New York for seven years.He was employed as an adjunct professor for teaching women at both Yeshiva University Stern College for Women in New York and in Bar Ilan University inEretz Yisroel.He has been a much sought after Scholar in Residence in venues across the country and delivered the keynote address at many prestigious Torah themed events.Please leave us a review or email us at ravkiv@gmail.com 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 ravkiv@gmail.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Challenges of Disability in the FamilyRabbi Kivelevitz engages Dr. Juni in a wide-ranging analysis of the experiences of individuals with developmental andpsychiatric Issues, and the effects these have on them and their families.Juni stresses the marked overlap between developmental limitations and emotional maladjustment of the family. Individuals (or victims, as he refers to them) are keenly aware when they are treated as less than people.Kivelevitz notes the progress our society has made, no longer hiding delayed family members in the closet.Religious inclusion-oriented social service agencies such as Yachad and HASC (among others) are lauded as commendable entities which offer vital resources to individuals and families dealing with developmental and psychiatric challenges.Dr. Juni steers the discussion beyond the confines of the special need population and stresses emphatically that ambivalence is an undeniable and even necessary part of any meaningful relationship."A key to dealing with problematic relationships is torecognize and integrate inevitable negative feelings," he declares.Sweeping emotions "under the rug" is seen by Juni in his professional capacity as a pattern of many families in the religious community.The professor has observed that in many cases, there is present a layer of denial characterized by sugar coating problems, being exuberant about difficult children, and maintaining theological theories which paint their travails as blessings from above.Juni worries that these submission tactics are merely functional band-aids for the short term and will turn into roadblocks to authentic healthy family adjustment in the face of near certain adversities of life..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 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 ravkiv@gmail.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rabbi Kivelevitz welcomes Doctor Sam Juni and Rabbi Shmuel Skaist to discuss the sea of change that has occurred in the greater society at large of the acceptance of a gay lifestyle.The attitudinal shift has been generating a crisis in the Orthodox world for close to two decades as more of its members are "coming out" or confronting the difficulty of living secreted in the midst of a society that condemns their true proclivities.Professor Juni opines on the present state of Conversion Therapy and Sexual Orientation Change Efforts(SOCE) that have been promoted by the Gedolei Yisroel as mandatory options to invoke.Juni indicates his methodological and study design critiques of the papers presented so far that purportedly suggest a strong degree of efficacy for these therapeutic interventions.All of the principals of the episode agree that in the current zeitgeist,even if an effective method could be offered,it would be condemned and demonized.Juni offers insight into Freud's view on homosexuality,and Kivelevitz suggests that the idea of gender fluidity can be channeled into forming a greater compassion for those suffering.Rabbi Skaist wonders if the frum veldt is now paying the price for years of marginalizing or ignoring gay young persons,and turning a blind eye to the bullying they were the victims of.Rabbi Kivelevitz asks both his guests if they concur with the view espoused by many intelligent compassionate Rabbis that a gay person needs to redirect their energies into other areas and accept the nature of his persona without acting on it.The panel discusses some of the options offered by progressive Rabbis that have been floated that allow inclusion into the greater religious populace.Rabbi Skaist believes that a positive by-product of this quandary will be more comprehensive teaching of sexual issues to students in the Yeshiva world,instead of absorbing attitudes and information exclusively from the media and secular outlets.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 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 & CultureRabbi Shmuel Skaist is theRosh Yeshivaof the Yeshiva of Newark at IDT in Newark, New Jersey and a licensed therapist,employed by the Jewish Family Service of New Jersey.He holds a Master's Degree in Clinical Counseling from Bellevue University.He served as a Senior Lecturer atOhr NaavaWomen's Torah Center in Brooklyn, New York for seven years.He was employed as an adjunct professor for teaching women at both Yeshiva University Stern College for Women in New York and in Bar Ilan University inEretz Yisroel.He has been a much sought after Scholar in Residence in venues across the country and delivered the keynote address at many prestigious Torah themed events.Please leave us a review or email us at ravkiv@gmail.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

"Do you have to be Crazy to be Religious?"Under questioning from Rabbi Kivelevitz,Doctor Juni gives voice to his startling conception of what constitutes markers for mental illness.Bucking the usual liberal bias against rigorous religious practices,the professor cogently explains how aberrant thinking is highly relative to the milieu the individual was raised and lives in.The most stringent sects of Judaism,even those ascribing near-prophetic abilities to their Rebbe,do not in themselves evince any more psychotic behavior than an atheistic conclave who deny the existence of any metaphysical forces.Juni succinctly indicates the causes of "Jerusalem Syndrome",and allays the fear of many parents of Gap-Year post-high school students,who soon discover their child has "Flipped Out" in Eretz Yisroel.He addresses the prevalence of OCD behavior in many observing religious hygiene and Kashrus laws,praising the leaders in Charedi circles who are attempting to eliminate them.Doctor Juni highlights Avraham Avinu's struggle of the Akeidah, from the perspective of Social Psychiatry,and pinpoints what the nisoyon actually was.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 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 ravkiv@gmail.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In light of a number of essays and opinion piecespublished recently that reconsider the best options for the Jewish and Arab population in Israel to live in some state of harmony,Rabbi Kivelevitz asks Doctor Juni for his perspective.The professor responds with a cogently expressed explanation of Arab antagonism backed by surveys Juni and his wife,Esther conducted.He distinguishes between the minority struggles of Blacks in America,to Arabs living under Jewish state dominance in Eretz Yisroel.Juni's data indicating a stark increase in Islamic identification over the last decade cries out to be considered in any intelligent discussion on this matter.Kivelevitz wonders how the lack of religiosity evinced by a majority of the Jewish population helps feed the Islamic screed that our people represent an affront to God.The pair speculate to what extent the war deaths that haunt even the most liberal Jewish homes,precludes seeing the Arab as a co-citizen.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 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 ravkiv@gmail.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this episode,recorded in the hours before Tisha BAv, Doctor Sam Juni,takes us behind the scenes of the production of his groundbreaking studies on ethnic-humor.This field was rife with speculative suggestions,Juni's empirically forged statistics have forever altered the scholarly landscape in this area.Tracing his interest in the subject to the tragicomic upbringing he had as a child of holocaust survivors,he recounts his father's devastating history and the grim jokes the elder Rabbi Juni favored and relished retelling.Under Rabbi Kivelevitz's questioning,the professor explains the theory advanced by Sigmund Freud for the "masochistic" self-effacing jokes perfected by the Jews.Juni's marking of the trail of pain anew, was abetted by the rich YIVO archives, which allowed him to conclusively move beyond Freud to a definitive description and categorization of types of humor and link them convincingly to the communities which spawned and propagated them.He has posited new motivations for ethnic humor aimed at why common societal behavior has developed, that has been accepted by serious psychologists and researchers world-wide.Professor Juni's papers have spurred the study of the humor of Latinos, Blacks, and Women to see if the conclusions drawn based on his study of Jews, hold true across many minorities or oppressed groups.Intertwined in his conclusions on victim-hood is the insight, granted Doctor Juni into the prevalence of Jews in the nascent Civil Rights Movement of the late 50's and early 60's which he shares in this discussion.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 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 ravkiv@gmail.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Getting to know Linda - committee member for the VIDM 2020 I retired in 2013 after 43 years working for the NHS as a nurse and a midwife, and for the last 19 years in Higher Education as a midwifery lecturer. I  completed my student nurse training in London but moved quickly on to completing my  midwifery education in Worcestershire. I then spent several years working as a community midwife, holding a caseload and attending home births and births within a G.P centre. From this experience, and the many years I have been a member of theAssociation of Raassodical Midwives, I have developed a passionate belief in the ability of the majority of women to birth without intervention given the right supporters and environment. My interest in social media has evolved along with the availability of home computers and latterly smart phones. As an educator, I encouraged the professional use of social media by students and midwives and utilised #SoMe to support students out in practice. Within the university I ran a peer support group exploring the value of the different social media platforms and continue to be invited to speak at conferences across the UK on the opportunities social media offers within the profession for Continuing Professional Development and to engage with women and their families. I have been involved with the #VIDoM for many years and believe that such innovations provide the midwifery profession across the world with amazing equitable opportunities to share clinical practice and experiences.
