  Aharon Lichtenstein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aharon Lichtenstein (born 1933) is a noted Orthodox Jewish rabbi and rosh yeshiva.
Rabbi Lichtenstein was born in France, but grew up in the United States, studied in Yeshiva Rabbi Chaim Berlin under Rabbi Yitzchok Hutner.
Based on Rabbi Lichtenstein's Talmud classes at Yeshivat Har Etzion, his students' notes have been edited and published as Shiurei Harav Aharon Lichtenstein on Tohorot, Zevahim, the eighth chapter of Bava Metzia and the first chapter of Pesahim.

 Judaism 101 - Rabbi Aharon Lichtenstein - A Glossary of Basic Jewish Terms and Concepts - OU.ORG
Rav Aharon Lichtenstein thought that it would be a very appropriate gesture, if Yeshiva students staged a demonstration to alert the world to the crisis, in a manner that the world was not alerted during the Holocaust of World War II.
Rabbi Aharon Lichtenstein was born in France in 1933, and came with his parents to the States.
Rav Lichtenstein is a graduate of the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary of Yeshiva University, where he eventually became a rebbe of the top shiur for incoming students, successfully instilling in many of his students a “derech,” an approach to the study of Talmud, that would be incorporated into their intellectual and spiritual personalities.

Lichtenstein maintains that the two make-or-break issues for centrist Orthodoxy are the affirmation of general culture and the embrace of the State of Israel.
Lichtenstein’s exposure to culture is directly related to his overall theological stance—and so one might guess that his immersion in general culture would show up in his work as a Talmudist.
Lichtenstein’s grasp of the “current zeitgeist,” Kolbrener is forced to conclude, is woefully inadequate.

 Roshei Yeshiva
The special atmosphere of the Yeshiva has been created by the continuity of leadership of Rav Yehuda Amital and Rav Aharon Lichtenstein, who merge the best traditions of Judaic studies with a pragmatic grasp of the modern world.
Rav Aharon Lichtenstein grew up in the United States, earning Semicha at Yeshiva University, and a Ph.D. in English Literature at Harvard.
He is committed to intensive and original Torah study, and articulates a bold Jewish worldview that embraces modernity, reflecting the tradition of his teacher and father-in-law, Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik, zt"l.

 Jewish Unity during Difficult Times
Lichtenstein is not only recognized as a great Tora scholar, but his overall Hashkafa (worldview) has long reflected a sober and courageous sense of responsibility and concern for broad religious and social issues.
Lichtenstein proceeds to cite two Talmudic sources[6] to demonstrate that even though unity is a value for the Jewish people wherever they may happen to reside, this is particularly so in terms of the land of Israel.
Lichtenstein, basing himself upon the MaHaRaL, sees these two sources as indicating that the importance of Jewish unity is evident “…for the entirety of the Jewish people in its Exile, but…it carries even more weight in the Land of Israel, where the organic existential connection is conspicuous.

However, based on an idea in a speech by Rav Aharon Lichtenstein, I believe their sin was a much more subtle type of sin.
In his shiur Rav Lichtenstein was discussing the disqualification of a sacrifice if its blood was mistakenly brought inside the Mishkan.
Nadav and Avihu, the two oldest sons of Aharon, the High Priest, bring a strange fire to the altar of G-d in the Tabernacle, and are promptly consumed by a fire sent by G-d for the purpose.

 YUTOPIA: Comment on R. Aharon Lichtenstein On Talmud Criticism
I respect him immensely, but this is one area where his commitment to the truth (or Toras chesed, in his formulation) not facts of the brisker derech make him unable to deal with mechkar, and critical Jewish studies in general, in an intellectually rigorous fashion.
The reason why he may take to task certain academics for their short amidah is that he believes, correctly in my opinion, that an approach to Torah study that is divorced from Halakha is one which does not stress enough Torah Sheb'al peh as the word of Gd.
Rav Lichtenstein would most likely agree that if one can successfully fuse academic Talmud with the type of study which enhances one's yirat shamayim, then fine.

The purpose of the sicha, at this relatively late date, was neither to express protest and shock, nor, as Rav Lichtenstein mentioned at the outset, to serve as a eulogy for the Prime Minister.
Despite this, I hope each of you will be able to place yourselves, with open mind and searching heart, in the beit midrash of this sicha, not merely reading it but pondering, on a personal level, how it should deepen and shape your beliefs, actions, and convictions.

And they shall know that I am the Lord their God who brought them out of Egypt, that I may dwell among them… (29:42-46) Apparently, the presence of God in His house, the "dwelling of the glory of God" in the Tent of Meeting, depends upon the daily functioning of the Mishkan.
Chapter Eight details the bringing of Aharon and his sons to the Tent of Meeting and the other details of priest-preparation and sanctuary sanctification (see 8:1-13).

Rav Lichtenstein suggested that perhaps the actual weight of the obligation does not differ for men and women, but that when the Sages established the law, they established two separate modes of fulfillment - reading for men, hearing for women.
With regard to Chanukah candles and the four cups, the Ra'avyah notes that he found no inherent difference between the obligations of men and women.
