	Joseph Soloveitchik Summary
		Soloveitchik was educated in the traditional manner at a Talmud Torah, an elementary yeshiva, and by private tutors, as his parents realized his great mental powers.
		Soloveitchik believed that Reform and Conservative rabbis did not have proper training in halakha and Jewish theology, and that due to their decisions and actions could not be considered rabbis as Orthodox Jews normally understood the term.
		Soloveitchik was accepted as the pre-eminent leader of politically conscious pro-Zionist modern Orthodox Judaism; out of respect for this, many leaders and politicians from Israel sought his advice and blessings in state affairs.

		His father was R. Moshe Soloveitchik the eldest son of Rav Chaim Soloveitchik who was famous for introducing a new method into the learning of Gemara.
		Chaim Soloveitchik tested his grandson and saw that indeed he understood nothing in the Gemara.
		For Rabbi Soloveitchik's presence was felt beyond the crowded classroom on the fourth floor of Furst Hall where his dazzling _shiurim_ (lectures) would, according to those who were present, mesmerize listeners with references from sources as diverse as _tanakh_, Maimonides, and the neo-Kantians, on whom he wrote his dissertation at the University of Berlin.

	Joseph Baer Soloveitchik Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		The Jewish theologian/philosopher Joseph Baer Soloveitchik (1903-1993) was able to use his extensive knowledge of rabbinical tradition and of secular and non-Jewish thought to illuminate both the contemporary Jewish situation and the circumstances of modern man in general.
		Soloveitchik's fame as a theologian-philosopher rested upon his unique control of the whole range of rabbinical tradition as well as the main sources of modern secular and non-Jewish thought.
		Soloveitchik's work is not easy to summarize because it was not presented in a systematic fashion, but its essential features can be summarized.

	Joseph Soloveitchik - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rabbi Soloveitchik’s theological outlook is distinguished by a consistent focus on halakah, i.e., the fulfillment and study of the divine law – and here he presents the halakhah as the a priori basis for religious practice and for the theological foundation for Jewish thought.
		He thus became a "lightning rod" of criticism from two directions: From the religious left he was viewed as being too connected to the Old World of Europe, while for those on the religious right, he was seen as legitimizing those wanting to lower their religious standards in the attempt to modernize and Americanize.
		Soloveitchik was by no means on the religious left-wing of Orthodox Judaism; those outside of Orthodoxy saw him as more stringent than Orthodoxy's left-wing, and more theologically liberal than those in the right-wing.

		He met Rabbi Chaim Soloveitchik in 1897, who was to have a great influence on him.
		He traveled to Radun in 1907, to the home of the Chafetz Chaim, to join his special Kollel Kadoshim, (advanced study house) where tractates of the Talmud dealing with the Bet Hamikdash (Holy Temple) and its sacrifices, were learnt.
		This was a revolutionary step amongst the yeshivot of Lithuania, and reflected the deep faith of the Chafetz Chaim in the imminent arrival of the Messiah, who would rebuild the Temple.

	Rav Moshe Landynski (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Whenever the Chofetz Chaim delivered a discourse in the yeshiva, he would say, "Nu, Rav Moshe, what do you think about this?" This practice taught the students to address their questions to Rav Moshe and to regard his replies as daas Torah.
		The Chofetz Chaim felt that the yeshiva needed a rosh yeshiva who would be able to impart Rav Chaim's approach to the students, too, and that this would result in the further development of the yeshiva.
		Rav Moshe, though, later told a student, "The Chofetz Chaim credited me with the accomplishment in Moscow, while in truth we succeeded because of his personality." At times, these fundraising trips had very adverse effects on Rav Moshe's health, and upon his return to Radin he would be bedridden for a number of weeks.

		Although recognized as a master expositor of the revolutionary method of Talmud study introduced by his father, Reb Chaim Soloveitchik, he had no yeshiva and only occasionally intervened in ultra-Orthodox politics, where he was known as a fanatic anti-Zionist and an uncompromising religious purist.
		Yet soon it became clear that far from being a harbinger of "foreign" influence, Reb Chaim Soloveitchik's "scientific" method was wedded to a metaphysical stance that rendered everything outside of the Torah irrelevant.
		But Reb Chaim himself seems to have absorbed the techniques of scientific analysis to explore a world whose borders were utterly sealed - a parallel universe whose laws related only to themselves, not to the increasingly chaotic reality of Eastern European Jewish life.

		During his years in Berlin, Soloveitchik became a close disciple of Rabbi Hayyim Heller, who had established an institute for advanced Jewish Studies from an Orthodox perspective in the city.
		Some have maintained that Soloveitchik accepted Samson Raphael Hirsch's philosophy of Torah im Derech Eretz, which is commonly referred to as the philosophical basis of Modern Orthodox Judaism.
		In this view, both Hirsch and Soloveitchik believed that it was permissible for Jews to learn secular philosophy, music, art, literature and ethics for their own sake and even encouraged this.

		Chaim said that those in the Rav's shiur, at certain points in their experience, felt clearly that the reality of what was happening in the shiur was more compelling and expressed a deeper sense of reality than what was happening outside.
		Another point R. Chaim said was that the spoken word is fundamentally different than the written word.

		He was born in Russia in 1917 into a rabbinic dynasty that went back nine generations, and included Rabbi Chaim Soloveitchik, the “founder” of the “Brisker derech,” a methodology of learning Torah that involved rigorous definition and precise categorization of Torah Laws in many cases into “Two-Halachah” dichotomies.
		As a single example of many, he disagreed with many of his peers and espoused the view that brain stem death is not sufficient to certify that a person is dead.
		Together with his wife, Ella Shurin Soloveitchik, he produced six children, the four sons all rabbis and the two daughters wives of rabbis.

		At the end of the 19th century, Rabbi Chaim Soleveichik, the Rabbi of the city Brisk, and the head of the Yeshiva there, was visited by one of his former students.
		In this version, R' Chaim's refusal to answer is a mussar to his student, who could have asked the very same questions to R' Chaim sincerely, but admits that he wasn't interested in doing so.

		R' Chaim sat down immediately and wrote R' Dovid a letter in which he explained that he had already sent him a letter with comments on the sefer, and that it had apparently gotten lost on the way.
		R' Chaim asked and explained, probed, investigated and brought proofs, until he felt that R' Dovid Karliner's mind had at last been set at ease, and that he had great nachas ruach upon seeing that R' Chaim was indeed learning.

	Divrei Chaim: Asarah B'Teves
		In the Chiddushi HaGR"Ch (stencil), R' Chaim Soloveitchik explains that all the other fasts in Nach are referred to by the month they fall in - "tzom harevi'i, tzom hashevi'i...", etc. If those fasts were to fall on Shabbos, we can subsitute another day of the month for the day of Shabbos.
		The gemara has a hava amina that Rebbi wanted to abolish the fast of 9 Av, which Tosfos finds incredible because a latter Bais Din has no right to overrule a takkanah of an earlier Bais Din (in most circumstances), and 9 Av was established by the Nevi'im.
		Based on R' Chaim's chiddush we can answer that the precise date of 9 Av was never established by the Bevi'im, only the month was established.
