Agudath Israel Convention - A Disturbed Rabbi & A Robot Rabbi Spew Imbecilic Drivel In The Name of Torah! Special Focus On Eretz Yisroel & Aliyah...

 

 

For the common or slang use of imbecile, see Idiot.

The term imbecile was once used by psychiatrists to denote a category of people with moderate to severe intellectual disability, as well as a type of criminal.^[1][2] The word arises from the Latin word imbecillus, meaning weak, or weak-minded.^[3] It originally referred to people of the second order in a former and discarded classification of intellectual disability, with a mental age of three to seven years and an IQ of 25–50, above "idiot" (IQ below 25) and below "moron" (IQ of 51–70).^[4] In the obsolete medical classification (ICD-9, 1977), these people were said to have "moderate mental retardation" or "moderate mental subnormality" with IQ of 35–49, as they are usually capable of some degree of communication, guarding themselves against danger and performing simple mechanical tasks under supervision.^[5][6]

Thursday evening’s post-keynote session, “Asking for a Friend,” brought together two renowned rabbonim for a thought-provoking and engaging discussion. Rabbi Yisroel Reisman, rosh yeshiva of Yeshiva Torah Vodaath, and Rabbi Uri Deutsch, rov of Bais Medrash Tiferes Yosef of Forest Park in Lakewood, delved into some of the most pressing and delicate questions that often arise in the frum community. The session was skillfully moderated by Yisroel Besser, who ensured that the conversation remained both insightful and relevant to the concerns of the audience. Rabbi Reisman and Rabbi Deutsch offered their unique perspectives on a variety of topics, navigating sensitive issues with wisdom and clarity.
