Rabbi Fabian Schonfeld, ob'm: Giant Among Men - The 5 Towns Jewish Times

The 5 Towns Jewish Times December 22, 2020   By Joseph Frager, MD Rabbi Fabian Schonfeld, of blessed memory, reached the pinnacle of rabbinical success on so many levels. He was the model pulpit rabbi. He was a major Torah scholar and posek. A snapshot of him can be found in an interview he did with Jewish Action in 2008. The following is an excerpt of his: “Basically, the changes came about with siyatta d’Shamaya (help from above). It’s the natural way of Torah to inspire people, to cause them to rethink what life is all about.” “A rabbi’s job has also changed tremendously; (he is no longer) somebody who (just) answers occasional questions about Ya’aleh V’yavo, Retzeih, and Al Ha’nissim. Today, the rabbi has to be a qualified psychiatrist, psychologist, and, above all, social worker — which is really what Moshe Rabbeinu was.”
