    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.

    Emunah (See TABC’S Bikkurei Sukkah Section 60)

    Strengthening Our Belief in Hashem and His Beautiful Torah – Part One by Rabbi Chaim Jachter It is of significant importance to reinforce the foundations of our Torah beliefs and lives. We need to be able to convince ourselves as well as the succeeding generations of Jews of the rational basis of our practices. Thus, I wish to share with readers of Kol Torah an extended discussion as to why I am completely convinced of the truth of Hashem and His Holy Torah. I wish to present a number of approaches that I have found exceedingly convincing. One should also consult other Rabbanim and discover other approaches should one not find my thoughts convincing. There are many portals to belief in Hashem and the divine origin of Torah. Not every approach is suitable for every individual. One should search for the Rav and approach that is the “right fit” for one’s mindset and personality. A good source of essays and presentations on this vitally important topic appear at www.simpletoremember.com . Rav Lawrence Kelemen’s “Permission to Believe” and “Permission to Receive” as well as Rav Shmuel Waldman’s book “Beyond a Reasonable Doubt” are good resources as well. One methodological note - I follow the Rambam’s example from the introduction to his commentary to Pirkei Avot (called the Shemonah Perakim) and cite some ideas from outside our Tradition. The Rambam teaches us “to accept the truth whatever its source.” Introduction It is important to clarify that I do not seek to “prove” Hashem’s existence, because as modern philosophers have noted, this is not a productive exercise.
