Unique Gathering of Dozens of Halachic Authorities on Halacha and Psychiatry in Bnei Brak

by Yated Ne'eman Staff

A meeting of rabbonim on "Halacha and Psychiatry" took place in the beis medrash of "Chanichei Hayeshivos Hilchos Chaim" on Rechov Raavez in Bnei Brak, with the participation of HaRav Mordechai Gross, Gavad of Chanichei Hayeshivos, and eighty-five other rabbonim and morei tzedek of the community.

Speakers at this gathering were the director of the Bayis Cham organization, Rabbi Arye Munk, at the forefront of aiding the mentally ill through rehabilitation, treatment and prevention, who dwelled on the importance of the sensitivity of this topic which sometimes reaches the rabbonim of various communities, who consult with him within the wide spectrum of these painful issues. He noted that the rabbis do not actively deal with them but the frequency of the questions on emotional problems demands a closer knowledge of the world of the psyche.

HaRav Mordechai Gross has put his full trust in Rabbi Arye Munk on subjects related to the nefesh. The harried lifestyle and pressures of modern life these past years have resulted in many psychological problems. This past meeting was organized as a necessary introduction to a series of workshops beginning this coming week.
