<![CDATA[<p>In this episode, <strong>Rabbi Yossi Kamman</strong> joins us to explore a fascinating responsum (<em>Likutei Sichos</em>, Vol. 16, p. 518) of the <strong>Lubavitcher Rebbe</strong> (R. Menachem Mendel Schneerson) against scheduling elective surgeries within a few days of Shabbos. Rabbi Kamman presents us with an insightful profile of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, his approach to halachah, and what made him unique and so widely renowned. 
A synopsis of this topic, can be found in Rabbi Kamman's publication, a <a href="https://derher.org/wp-content/uploads/Kislev-5783-7.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><em>A Chassidisher Derher</em></a>.</p>
