Shmuel Kamenetsky (born November 1924) is a Haredi rabbi and founder and rosh yeshiva (dean) of the Talmudical Yeshiva of Philadelphia. He is one of the most widely known living Haredi Litvish Jewish gedolim outside of Israel. He is the son of Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky (1891–1986), one of America's greatest Torah leaders. ==Biography== Kamenetsky was a primary student of Rabbi Aharon Kotler, from whom he received ''semicha'' (rabbinic ordination). Prior to studying in Kotler's Lakewood Yeshiva, Kamenetsky learned in Ner Israel Rabbinical College under the tutelage of his father's cousin, Rabbi Yaakov Yitzchok Ruderman. In the mid-1950s, as part of the Lakewood Yeshiva's effort to establish out-of-town yeshivas, Kamenetsky and Rabbi Dov Schwartzman were sent to found the Talmudical Yeshiva of Philadelphia. In 1955, Schwartzman departed to open his yeshiva in Israel. Kamenetsky then called upon Rabbi Elya Svei, to serve as co-rosh yeshiva. This arrangement continued until Svei's death in March 2009. Rabbi Kamenetsky is a member of the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah of Agudath Israel of America and serves on the rabbinical board of many organizations, including Chinuch Atzmai (Torah Schools for Israel), Torah Umesorah, the Chofetz Chaim Heritage Foundation and the Association for Jewish Outreach Professionals (AJOP). His opinion is frequently sought and quoted on current issues such as same-sex attraction, child molestation, obesity and dieting, smoking,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rabbi Shmuel against smoking ) (video)〕 and drinking alcohol to excess on Purim. His approbation is also sought for Torah books in English. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shmuel Kamenetsky」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
