This program initially was shown to our synagogue congregation on December 31, 2024.
In addition to his weekly Sunday mid-day class on the latest developments in the wars defending against Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and Fatah in Judea and Samaria, and covering events impacting Jews throughout the world -- primarily in America -- Rabbi Dov Fischer of Young Israel of Orange County teaches Tanakh (Bible) every Tuesday night on Zoom at 7:00-8:00 pm Pacific Time . . . and Rambam's Mishneh Torah with Talmud every Thursday night on Zoom at 6:30-7:30 pm Pacific Time (currently on Jewish Ethics and Values in Wartime). His style is exceptionally unique, mixing text, Midrashim, Classic Rabbinic Commentaries, Movie clips, Music, Maps, and unique insights born of 40+ years as a rav, a highly effective litigation attorney, a law professor, and an opinion columnist and senior contributing editor at two major daily online publications, The American Spectator and Arutz Sheva/Israel National News.
Rav Fischer was ordained at Yeshiva University's Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary (RIETS), receiving smikha from Rav Yosef Ber Soloveitchik and Rav Norman Lamm in 1981. He received his law degree from UCLA School of Law in 1993 and clerked in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit for the Hon. Judge Danny J. Boggs, then practiced law 10 years at three of America's most prominent law firms: Jones Day, Akin Gump, and Baker and Hostetler. Simultaneously, he was a law professor for 16 years, primarily at University of California at Irvine and at Loyola Law School of Los Angeles. He brings all of that -- plus a Catskills sense of humor -- into his Torah teaching.
Rav Fischer dedicates all his Torah teaching to Ellen (Groh) Fischer of blessed righteous memory, his partner in life for 20 years until Hashem brought her to Gan Eden (Paradise) by a cancer disease in 2020.
