About Me NAME: HARRY MARYLES LOCATION: CHICAGO, ILLINOIS Much of who I am is based on the philosophy of my primary mentor, Rabbi Aaron Soloveichik from whom I received my rabbinic ordination. It is also based on a search for spiritual Truth from various sources that I have studied. Primarily it is a reflection of my understanding of two great philosophic works, “Halachic Man” and “Lonely Man of Faith” by the pre-eminent Jewish philosopher and theologian, Rabbi Dr. Joseph B. Soloveitchik. Of great significance to me is Dr. Norman Lamm's conceptualization and models of Torah U’Mada. Another individual who helped shape my thinking was Dr. Eliezer Berkovits who introduced me to the world of philosophic thought. My early religious education was most influenced by two pioneers of American Elementary Torah Chinuch, Rabbis Shmuel Kaufman and Yaakov Levi. The Yeshivos I attended were Yeshivas Telshe for early high school and more significantly, the Hebrew Theological College where for a period of ten years my Rebbeim included such great Rabbinic figures as Rabbi Yaakov Perlow, Rabbi Mordechai Rogov, and of course Rabbi Aaron Soloveichik.

  • Chassidus on the Balak Chassidus on the Parsha +
    LIGHTS OF OUR RIGHTEOUS TZADDIKIM בעזרת ה ' יתבר A Tzaddik, or righteous person , makes everyone else appear righteous before Hashem by advocating for them and finding their merits. Kedushas Levi, Parshas Noach (Bereishis 7:1) BALAK _ CHASSIDUS ON THE PARSHA + Dvar Torah Torah and Business How good are your tents, O Yaakov, your dwellings, O Yisrael (24:5). This is the famous blessing that Hashem placed in the mouth of Bilaam regarding the Jewish people. Why is the residence of the Jewish people considered a tent when they are addressed as Yaakov and a dwelling place when they are addressed as Yisrael? We can see an allusion here, explains Rav Lev i Yitzchok, to the proper relationship of a Jew to his Torah learning and to his business affairs. Yisrael is a higher level than Yaakov, as is well-known. Therefore, the name Yisrael is used when speaking about Torah and the name Yaakov when speaking abou t business. Since tents are temporary dwellings, Yaakov is being told to make his business the subordinate part of his life, and since dwellings places are permanent, Yisrael is being told to make Torah learning the anchor of his existence, as the Mishnah states ( Avos 1:15), “Appoint times for Torah study.” n Story For the first few years after his marriage, Rav Levi Yitzchok and his wife lived in Levertov in the home of his father -in-law Reb Yisrael Peretz, a wealthy businessman who provided for all their needs so that Rav Levi Yitzchok could sit and learn Torah undisturbed.

  • When the Sun Set at Midday
    Rabbi Chaim Dov Keller When the Sun Set At Midday: An Appreciation of Rabbi Raphael Baruch Sorotzkin :i:ii:i17P'1;l1:>T - When the Telshe Rosh Yeshiva, Rabbi Baruch orotzkin :i::ii:J1;r P'1l' i:n, passed away on Friday I night, 13 Shvat (February 9, '79) the loss was felt 1 on many levels - the personal and the communal - by his bereaved family, by his yeshiva, and by the many institutions and organizations that he served as life spirit. Rabbi Sorotzkin was born on 13 Shvat, 5677 - precisely 62 years, to the day, before his death - in Zhetel, Lithuania, where his father, Rabbi Zalmen Sorotzkin,'i"'l'i, was rav. Reh Zalmen later earned world-wide recognition as the Lutzker Rav, playing a key role in the leadership of Agudath Israel in Europe and subsequently in Israel, where he headed Chinuch Atzmai-Torah Schools, as well as the Vaad Hayeshivos. Reb Boruch's mother was the daughter of Rabbi Eliezer Cordon 'i"~T, revered Rav and Rosh Yeshiva of Telshe. Thus Reb Baruch was brought up with the twin heritage of Torah scholarship assumed leadership of the Yeshiva as Roshei and communal leadership, as exemplified by both HaYeshiva. Reb Baruch, in the Telzer tradition, his parents' families. extended his sphere of activities to include ever As a young man, Reb Baruch studied under more areas of communal responsibility-Chinuch Rabbi Elchonon Wasserman, 'i"~T, in Baranovitch, Atzmai, Torah Umesorah, Agudath Israel of and then under Rabbi Baruch Ber Lebovitz 'i"~T in America (as one of the youngest member of its Kaminetz.
