| This story is a classic of modern Jewish literature and modern Jewish thought. Since its appearance in 1952, scholars, rabbis, and a very wide range of readers have continued debating the arguments the pages of My Quarrel With Hersh Rasseyner. It is the story of two friends and survivors who meet several times between 1937 and 1948, and debate their faith and their place in the world. Now, retranslated from the Yiddish by prominent scholar Dr. Ruth R. Wisse, it is more relevant than ever. As she states at the end of her Afterword: "The debate in this story was never meant to end. Thus may it continue." | | | The first mitzva in the Torah is to be fruitful and multiply but to some people, this is easier said than done. There are many couples for whom the dream of starting their family is a cause of anxiety and pain when things don't go as planned.
This week's guest, Bat-Sheva L. Maslow, MD, works closely with couples facing difficulties in their journey to starting their families, with women looking to prolong fertility and, as an orthodox Jew and the Director of Medical Curriculum at Nishmat's Miriam Glaubach Center for North American Yoatzot Halacha, she works with halachic advisors and decision makers to look after, not just her patient's physical welfare, but their spiritual wellbeing as well.
