Rabbi Moshe Meiselman is the rosh yeshiva of Yeshivas Toras Moshe in Jerusalem, a former principal of Yeshiva University High Schools of Los Angeles[citation needed], and the author of Jewish Women in Jewish Law. He received a doctorate in math from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1967 for his thesis The Operation Ring for Connective K-Theory.[1] He studies Talmud with Rabbi Dovid Gottlieb. He is a son-in-law of the previous Ziditshoiver Rebbe of Chicago.
Rabbi Meiselman and Rabbi Soloveitchik
Rabbi Meiselman is Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik's nephew and was one of his close students, though he never attended Yeshiva University. Rabbi Meiselman has espoused a view of Rabbi Soloveitchik which places him in the role of a traditional haredi Rosh Yeshiva. Rabbi Meiselman believes that Rabbi Soloveitchik's Zionism and secular studies were solely for the purpose of outreach and a view on how to respond to the assimilation of American Jews.[2]. This has led him to attract the ire of many Modern Orthodox and Mizrachi thinkers.[3]
Rabbi Meiselman and Rabbi Slifkin
Rabbi Meiselman gave three lectures at Toras Moshe in which he criticised Rabbi Nosson Slifkin's The Camel, The Hare, and The Hyrax. sent a letter to Rabbi Meiselman rebutting his critique and accusing him of character defamation. Rabbi Meiselman did not respond to Rabbi Slifkin's letter. Rabbi Slifkin subsequently posted the lectures on his website and then Rabbi Meiselman requested that Rabbi Slifkin remove the lectures from his website. Rabbi Slifkin did not agree to his request.[4]
