The Yeshiva of Newark continued its partnership with Tzurba M’Rabanan,with the fifth of Sephiras HaOmer Shiurim



This episode's discussion-Separating Bracha from Mitzvah

'When in Doubt-Leave it Out!'... 

The Tzurba M’Rabanan halacha program is represented in Eretz Yisroel by over one thousand shiurim across the country.  A systematic and concise learning method that walks the reader through the entire halachic process, Tzurba M’Rabanan covers the Biblical and Talmudic sources through modern-day halachic application. 

The Program has a depth that never veers away from impacting your daily life and the way you view daily halachic living. It conveys the logic behind each halacha, helping people develop a deeper appreciation for what they are practicing in their everyday lives, granting the participant a new perspective on the halachic system.

After the English Language edition  was launched over 5 years ago, with its clear introductions and trademark color-coded sections, Tzurba M’Rabanan began to take off in the Diaspora with over 50 Tzurba Shiurim in the United States.



Tzurba is written in a digestible and easy-to-follow format allowing readers of all ages to walk away with a comprehensive understanding of halacha even without a guide or Rebbe. Each chapter contains all the sources in their original Hebrew along with a side-by-side English translation, informed by the aforementioned trademark color-coded sections based on the time period of the commentary.

In addition to these prime sources,avreichim from the prestigious Manhigut Toranit  have  written additional in-depth articles to supplement the translations.



Every Sunday night we will,ay'h, review and develop what has been studied by participants during the week and discuss interactively what we have learned.All of the Shiurim will be recorded for your convenience and be available on our dedicated site.

Rehabilitation Challenges of Gaza Hostages and Traumatized Battle Veterans  

 

Trauma shakes up the personality and,sometimes, the very essence of its victims. Interpersonal trauma, moreover,often harms the capacity for healthy social and personal relationships which persists long after the traumatic episode.  

Prof. Juni explains the dynamics of these lasting effects of trauma by noting that the life of an infant is usually construed by the growing child as a very threatening existence fraught with colossal danger, interspersed by facets of ultimate pleasure and safety/security. This fixes the infant into a chronic state of anxiety where the stakes are most extreme. The concomitant behavioral stance of the child devolves into a fight vs. flight modality, as the other is perceived dichotomously as devoted friends vs. ferocious foe, demon vs. and saint vs.devil/angel.  

As the child develops, behaviors,stances, and attitudes moderate. Gray usurps black vs. white polarities, and extremist percepts are defensively repressed as they recede into the unconscious -- to find expression only in the dreams of older children and adults. Alas, subsequent trauma has the capacity to disrupt the mature defensive ego structure and often results in regression into the original terror-filled world of danger and extreme dichotomy. Juni likens the rehabilitated traumatized soldier or hostage to a recovered alcoholic who might slip right back to full-blown alcoholism – even many years later -- if his/her defensive wall is breached when forced to have “just one drink.”  

Hostages who experience threat and abuse in close quarters with perpetrators have been noted to exhibit the Stockholm Syndrome. Dr. Juni delineates the hallmarks of this syndrome which prompt somevictims to “side with their captors.” Such dynamics may include identification with the aggressor and acceptance of abuse as justified. Juni agrees with Rabbi Kivelevitz that such a stance may sometimes be psychologically rooted in an effort to minimize the perceived threat one experiences. It is clear that this syndrome will make it difficult for a hostage to adjust functionally to social and family functioning.  

Rabbi Kivelevitz points out a number of parallels between the reactions of soldiers and hostages to those of holocaust victims (who went on to be prominent political leaders, clergy, and visionaries), arguing that such observed resilience should be expected among traumatized soldiers and hostages. Dr. Juni, while agreeing with the parallel, nonetheless insists that despite the potential for adequate functioning among these groups, there is an underlying intrinsic damage to personality and egostructure which remains as a weak link which may unravel in stressful contexts.

Drawing from his clinical work with spousal abuse, Juni shares an addition
