    The Life and Impact of Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik (Part Two) David Jacobowitz Congregation Torah Ohr Boca Raton, Florida January 20, 2020 “Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik (1903-1993) was not only one of the outstanding Talmudists of the twentieth century but also one of its most creative and seminal Jewish thinkers. His stature was such that he was widely known simply as “the Rav” – The Rabbi par excellence. Drawing from a vast reservoir of Jewish and general knowledge, Rabbi Soloveitchik brought Jewish thought and law to bear on the interpretation and assessment of the modern experience. On the one hand, he built bridges between Judaism and the modern world; yet, at the same time, he vigorously upheld the integrity and autonomy of the Jew’s faith commitment.” Dr. David Shatz, Professor of Philosophy, Yeshiva University, Introduction to Lonely Man of Faith 1 The Rav and Religious Zionism Questions: 1.

He constructed a majestic Religious Zionism built on activism and the passionate desire to seek out God’s guiding hand in the world.

  • The Urology Residency Program of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai
    THE UROLOGY RESIDENCY PROGRAM OF THE ICAHN SCHOOL OF MEDICINE AT MOUNT SINAI Overview The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Urology Residency Program is an ACGME-accredited program with a training format consisting of one year of preliminary training in general surgery followed by four years of urology. Its home institution is The Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. The program is currently approved for a complement of four residents per training year, though as a result of a recent merger with our sister program at Mount Sinai Beth Israel, the current enrollment includes four residents in the PGY 2 year, and five in each of PGY’s 3 through 5. The program curriculum assures that over the course of training, every resident receives ample experience and didactic grounding in all of the core domains and techniques of urology while acquiring the professional skills and competencies that are characteristic of excellent physicians. Each of the 19 rotations that comprise the curriculum include experience in both in-patient and out-patient treatment settings, with selected rotations offering concentrated experience in areas such as pediatric urology, urodynamics, endourology, female urology, infertility and oncology. An overarching schedule of conferences (led by faculty, fellow residents and guest lecturers), collaborative research projects and support for participation in professional organizations and special programs knit the residents’ clinical experience into the fabric of current urologic scholarship. Our home and affiliated institutions offer an immersive experience in three distinct health care delivery models: the tertiary care academic medical center, the community hospital and the municipal hospital system.
