Episode 56: Minyan - What Part of Davening is Tfillah BiTzibur?

What halakhicly constitutes Tfillah biTzibur - our silent Shmoneh Esrei that we all say together in a minyan, or the repetition of the Shmoneh Esrei that the Shaliach Tzibbur says on our behalf? Are we a collection of distinct individuals or a single, undifferentiated unit? Hear how Rav Moshe rules on this issue and how this impacts questions such as whether to skip when one comes late, may on daven with a different nusach from everyone else, does starting Shmoneh Esrei after everyone else has already started count as tfillah bi’tzibbur, and whether you need 6 men or 10 men to be davening at the same time for it to be considered tfillah bi’tzibbur.

Episode 55: Minyan - When Theology meets Halacha

Men often receive the message that they are required to attend a daily minyan. But is this really true? This question is particularly poignant nowadays when the ability to participate in a minyan cannot be taken for granted. Join us as we explore the perspective of Rav Moshe Feinstein on this issue, and see how, for him and for this issue, theology translates into halakha.

Episode 54: Brain Death - When Exactly are you Dead?

How do we determine if someone is truly dead? This question is central to the ability to donate and receive organs, and to determine when a dying patient can be taken off of life support. If brain death is considered to be death according to halakha, organ donation becomes a possibility. But if the Talmud never discusses the brain in this context, what could be the halakhic basis for this? See how Rav Moshe deals with this and how his approach to permitting heart transplants changed over time. Learn more in the latest episode of Iggross Moshe.

Episode 53: Organ Donation II – Transplanting Organs from Dead Bodies

Can you derive benefit from harvesting an organ from a dead body? Can kohanim, who are halakhically forbidden from interacting with corpses, be organ transplant recipients if those organs originate from dead bodies? Find out how Rabbi Moshe Feinstein ruled on these fascinating questions in our latest episode of Iggros Moshe At to Z, featuring host Rabbi Dov Linzer.

Episode 52: Organ Donation I – Is It a Mitzvah?

Is it a mitzvah to donate one’s organs? What differences might there be between live donations, such as a kidney, and donations after death? Does halakha require or even allow me to sacrifice part of my body or expose myself to a possible risk of life in order to save the life of another person? Find out how Rav Moshe answered these questions in the newest episode of Iggros Moshe A to Z with host Rabbi Dov Linzer. Photo-https://www.flickr.com/photos/magnus_d/4047845656

Episode 51: Non-Jews III - Saying No to Interfaith Efforts

The reforms introduced by Vatican II brought new opportunities for the Orthodox Jewish community to engage in interfaith councils and dialogue with Christians. While some welcomed these opportunities to bridge the gaps among religious communities, Rabbi Moshe Feinstein believed strongly that these threatened the once-firm boundaries around observant Judaism. He felt that resisting these councils was so critically important that he enlisted the help of Rabbi Joseph Soloveitchik in decrying these councils. Learn more in our newest episode of Iggros Moshe A to Z with host Rabbi Dov Linzer.

Episode 50: Non-Jews II - Drawing Boundaries

What type of boundaries must be drawn between Jews and non-Jews? In a series of teshuvot, Rav Moshe lays out an approach that would protect non-Jewish incursion into Jewish territory and vice-versa. Listen in to see how he applies this to the questions of whether a non-Jew can do mitzvot, whether Jews can learn or teach about ancient pagan religions, and even whether a non-Jew can host a parlor meeting in his home to raise money for a yeshiva. All of this and more on our latest episode of Iggros Moshe A to Z, with host Rabbi Dov Linzer. Photo-https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Westtown.jpg

Episode 49: Non-Jews I – Prayer in Public Schools

In 1962, the Supreme Court ruled that prayer in public schools was a violation of the Establishment Clause of the Constitution. Many religious groups, including segments of the Orthodox community, responded by fighting for a constitutional amendment that would permit such prayer to be said. What was Rav Moshe’s view of school prayer and what his response to this political battle from a halakhic and policy perspective? And how did his approach differ from that of the Lubavitcher Rebbe?
