Moked Harav
Every day many people are helpless in the face of difficult halachic-medical questions, with no one to guide them. The questions needing to be dealt with are many, unbearable, and varied: transplants, surgeries, infertility, gynecological, the list goes on and on. They are issues that touch on pikuach nefesh and the most serious issurim in the Torah and the poskim that are willing to take the responsibility to decide them are few.
Amazingly, there is no beis hora'ah that deals exclusively with these issues! Someone who needs an urgent psak within minutes, hours, or even a few days is faced with an intolerable situation. It is extremely difficult to reach those gedolei poskim that are able to decide these questions, and certainly not when time is of the essence.
After receiving the enthusiastic support from the Gedolei HaDor and poskim, Rav Yisroel Pinchas Tirnauer founded a beis hora'ah was fonded devoted solely to halachic-medical issues. The experienced and expert poskim fielding the inquiries at the center are available at all times by phone or email. HaGaon Rav Moshe Shaul Klein shlita, recognized around the world as an authority in these matters, took upon himself to preside over the center. This leadership manifests itself both by giving guidance to the rabbanim answering the calls and by being available to deal with the most complicated questions himself. At his side, a group of Gedolei poskim serve on the presidium.
A new era has begun. This is a unique and revolutionary project with nothing comparable to it anywhere in the world. Many inquiries stream into the center daily from around the world, and receive prompt and decisive responses.
Members of the Presidium:
Israel: Hagaon Rav Yitzchak Silberstein shlita, Hagaon Rav Shimon Badani shlita
Hagaon Rav Naftali Nussbaum shlita, Hagaon Rav Yisroel Yitzchak Mendelson shlita
United States: Hagaon Rav Yechiel Michel Steinmetz shlita (Brooklyn, N.Y.)
