Rav Shalom Rosner on the Legacy of Dr. Fred Rosner z"l


Listen Later

This week on Shtark Tank, we welcome Rabbi Shalom Rosner—Rav of Kehillat Nofei HaShemesh, Rosh Beit Midrash at Machon Lev, beloved Daf Yomi maggid shiur, and my uncle—for a deeply personal conversation about his father, Dr. Fred Rosner z”l.

Check out the newly released Shalom Rav Birkon (bentcher) here.

Born in Berlin in 1935 and rescued via Kindertransport, Dr. Rosner began life with no formal Jewish education. But he went on to become not only a world-renowned physician and medical ethicist, but a serious talmid chacham, translator, and teacher of Torah and halachic medicine.

In this episode, we explore:

  • The incredible story of Dr. Rosner’s late start in Torah learning—and how one summer of Mishnah changed everything

  • His unwavering consistency and sense of mission, both in the hospital and the beit midrash

  • The evolution of Jewish medical ethics, and how Dr. Rosner worked alongside gedolim like Rav Moshe Feinstein zt”l

  • Balancing public influence with personal humility

  • The quiet legacy of a man who never wasted a moment, right up to the final day

Along the way, we also discuss family, Shabbos zmiros, Rambam, professional responsibility, and what it really looks like to synthesize Torah and derech eretz—without compromising either.
