Description

As listeners might know, the host of this show, Moshe Kurtz, has the honor of serving as the rabbi of Congregation Sons of Israel in Allentown, PA. In this episode, he is joined by Dr. Noam Cohen, a professor at Muhlenberg College who will be teaching a course on the history of the Jews of Allentown. He shares with us a responsum (Orach Mishpat, #131) written by Rav Avraham Yitzchak HaKohen Kook to Rav Shlomo Zalman Krevsky, who served as the Chief Rabbi of Allentown during the 20th century. Today's episode is dedicated in honor of the birthday of our loyal listener, R' Yitzchak Friedman - by the Friedman, Cohen, and Poliakoff children. Happy birthday!
