  • On Vaccination, Parental Rights, and Religious Freedom
    GEDOLIM LETTERS on Vaccination, Parental Rights, and Religious Freedom Gedolim Letters on Vaccination, Parental Rights and Religious Freedom • 1 Introduction is publication has been prepared on behalf of the talmidim of Moreinu Harav Shmuel Kamenetzky, shlit”a, Moreinu Harav Elya Ber Wachtfogel, shlit”a, and Moreinu Harav Malkiel Kotler, shlit”a. In this chapter, when mention is made of “our Gedolim,” the reference is to these three of our leading American Gedolim. Our Gedolim have made their views on vaccination known to their talmidim and to their petitioners. eir view is not extreme. ey do not advocate against vaccination. ey rule that vaccination is a parental choice, and that parents may not be coerced into vaccination. Perhaps most importantly, they state that parents who choose not to vaccinate should be viewed as parents exercising a right and making a justiable decision, not as agitators recklessly endangering the public welfare. is publication refutes the assertions—which have been recently circulated widely—that all Gedolim obligate parents to vaccinate, and that non-vaccinating parents are rotzchim and rodm. Non-vaccinating parents in our communities are acting with the full consent of da’as Torah, yet they are being maligned and vilied, and, in countless cases, victimized and hurt. e achdus and shalom within our communities and families is being gravely damaged; the above unfounded and untrue assertions have had much to do with it. Part 1: “We the Undersigned…” and the Chicago Letter Measles! e Original Lakewood Psak In years past, most states—including New York and In 2008, a Lakewood beis din was convened to hand New Jersey—granted parents the legal right to opt out down a ruling.

  • Source Based Learning for Shabbat This Weekly Sheet Is Brought to You by Rabbi Dr
    A Taste of Text: Source based learning for Shabbat This weekly sheet is brought to you by Rabbi Dr. Moshe Freedman of the New West End United Synagogue in conjunction with Shapell's/Darché Noam PARSHAT BO DVAR TORAH: DVAR TORAH THINK BIG, ASK BIG On Rosh Chodesh Nisan Moshe gave over G-d’s command to the People of Israel; they were to take an animal on the tenth of the month and four days later offer it as a Pesach sacrifice to be eaten on the night of the The Children of Israel went and did as“ – "... 'וַיֵּלְכּו וַיַעֲׂשּו בְ נֵּי יִׂשְרָ אֵּ ל כַאֲשֶׁ ר צִ ּוָה ה" :Exodus. The Torah then tells us Hashem had commanded … ” (Shemot 12:28). Classic commentators were bothered by the timing of this sentence – it seems to say they did G-d’s command immediately after they heard it, on the first of Nisan. But how could they have offered the Pesach sacrifice, or even taken their animals on that day? Those acts were supposed to be done on the tenth and fourteenth. And it is difficult (though some commentators do say this) to contend that this verse took place on the tenth .implies immediacy וַיַעֲׂשּוfollowed by וַיֵּלְכּוof the month; because the word Rashi on that verse quotes the Mechilta: “When they accepted it upon themselves the Torah considers it as if they did it.” The expression “The Torah considers it as if they did it” is sometimes used when a person is not able to perform a mitzvah because of circumstances beyond his control (for instance, Berachot 6a) and the Torah considers either intent or some replacement action like the action itself.
