He is frequently consulted on issues of Jewish law from representatives of all streams of Judaism and responds from an explicit and uncompromised Orthodox stance.In a striking exhaustive lecture given in August 2006 at Congregation Shaarei Tefillah in Newton, MA Rabbi Klapper dissects the salient texts where Rav Menachem Meiri espouses a novel tolerance and appreciation of Medieval Christianity.He weighs the possibilities of using this minority opinion as the basis for modern legal decisions.Over the almost two hour presentation,Klapper explains how he believes Moshe Halbertal has erred in tracing the source for the Meiri's statements as his philosophical orientation drawn from the Maimonidean philosophic tradition.Rabbi Klapper also brings to the forefront other modern Rabbinic champions of tolerance who reshaped the concept of aivah and Darchei Shalom in ways that can indeed govern our attitude and upgrade our behavior,and call for a halachic shift in relation to the majority world religions of today.The Yeshiva of Newark @IDT is proud to partner with Rabbi Klapper to help spread his scholarly thoughtful ideas and Halachic insight to as wide an audience as possible .Please visithttp://www.torahleadership.org/for many more articles and audio classes from Rav Klapper and to find out about his Summer programs as well as Rabbi Klapper's own podcast sitehttps://anchor.fm/aryeh-klapper.Please leave us a review or email us at ravkiv@gmail.comFor more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
