Over Eighty Rabbonim and Rebbitzens from Across the Country Attend the 12th Annual Midwest Agudas Yisroel Council of Synagogue Rabbonim Conference 
Sixty rabbonim and twenty rebbitzens from across the United States met in Chicago earlier this week for the 12th annual Midwest Agudas Yisroel Council of Synagogue Rabbonim Conference. 

This year's program was practical, informative and extremely relevant, and attended by many Roshei Yeshiva, Dayanim, Rabbanim and world-renowned experts in their fields who have dedicated their lives to share their wealth of wisdom with others.  

A question-and-answer session was held with Rabbi Elya Brudny, Rosh Yeshiva of the Mirrer Yeshiva and Chaver Moetzes Gedolei Hatorah, where Rabbonim had the opportunity to discuss many of the pressing issues facing Klal Yisroel today.  

Dr. Shmuel Mandelman, Clinical Neuropsychologist and Founder/Clinical Director of The C.L.I.N.I.C., is a renowned therapist and a very close talmid of Rav Brudny. Dr. Mandelman has extensive experience dealing with individuals and families in the Orthodox community. Dr. Mandelman gave a presentation on how Rabbanim can help congregants address mental health challenges. 

Rabbi Dov Kahan, Av Bais Din of the Bais Din Maysharim and Mara D'asra Khal Rayim Ahuvim, and Rabbi Shlomie Dickman, Posek in the Bais Horaah of the Bais Din Maysharim and the chief editor of "Healthcare Facilities in Halacha," delivered a shiur, followed by a discussion, about how Rabbanim can assist their baalei batim in running their businesses according to halacha.  

Rabbi Shmuel Tenenbaum, Mashgiach of Yeshiva Tiferes Tzvi, founded an organization called Big Talks that guides schools and parents in how to teach adolescents about topics of kedushah. Rabbi Tenenbaum shared fundamentals in helping understand the challenges our youth face and where they are currently holding on this topic.  

The Rebbetzins were addressed by Mrs. Bella Kaufman, Rebbitzen of Adas Bnei Yisroel, and Menaheles of Joan Dachs Bais Yaakov Middle School and co-author of the Big Talks for Girls curriculum, about talking with our children about sensitive topics. 

Other speakers that addressed the Rabbonim included Rabbi Shmuel Fuerst, Dayan of Agudath Israel of Illinois, who gave a shiur on Hilchos Chatzitza, as well as Rabbi Chaim Dovid Zwiebel, executive vice president of Agudath Israel of America, explaining several recent Supreme Court decisions and their impact on the Jewish community

"The time together, sharing of ideas and open discussions at these conferences brings tremendous chizuk to the participating Rabbanim. The conference unifies kehillos and helps their Rabbanim address the challenges of the 21st century," said Rabbi Yaakov Robinson, executive director of the Midwest Vaad Harabbonim. 

"I am so thankful to Rabbi Robinson and the Agudah for another incredible conference. The access they gave us to Rav Brudny, to experts in their respective fields, and to each other is a gift only the Agudah can provide," said Rabbi Ariel Shoshan, Ahavas Torah the Scottsdale Torah Center (Scottsdale, AZ).

"The Rabbanim conference is a cut above. It allows for Rabbanim to connect to each other, to be inspired by gedolim of Klal Yisroel and the highest caliber speakers in their respective fields, and to walk away with tangible actionable items to make our kehillos a place of greater kavod shamayim," said Rabbi Mordechai Kalatsky, Keneseth Israel (Minneapolis, MN).
