Torah and Science

BH

Dear Rab Mordechai Halperin Shlit"a:

Sha-lom Ubracha!

My name is Y B, I am a pediatrician specialized in Newborn Intensive Care, and Baruch Hashem I have the zechut of giving Tora Shiurim every day.

One of the areas that I have worked more, is the interphase between Torah and lehabdil science, because BH for more than 20 years I give lectures and Seminars for Kirub Rechokim all around the world, with my teacher HaRab Yoseph Yagen Shlit"a.

I have read some of your medical Halacha papers, and enjoyed them very much. Chazak Ubaruch!

I have read your article on Mada VeRefuah BaTalmud, published on Assia (Shevat 5763) and also available in the Internet. Yeyasher Kochacha on your great efforts.

When you speak about the opinion of Rabbi Abraham ben HaRamba"m, and the opinion of Rabbi Yitzchak Lampronti, you added also the opinion of the Ramba"n, as if the Ramba"n opinion is comparable to the two previous opinions. Bemechilat kebod Torato, I think that there are many big differences, between them, that the Ramba"n is not contradicting any Biblical verse or Talmudic affirmation when he agrees with Chachmey Yaban in this non-halachik issue.

I will appreciate very much if you are so kind to write to me some of your ideas on this delicate issue.

Bichbod rab, Shabbat Sha-lom Umborach.

Y B.
