Rabbi Yosef Kanefsky (Bnai David) and Rabbi Elazar Muskin (YICC) love each other and their shuls do a lot of things together.
Bnai David's president David Diamond emails his congregation: As I mentioned from the bima this past Shabbat, we are looking forward to building on the already strong relationship and sense of community between our shul and Young Israel of Century City as Rabbi Kanefsky and Rabbi Muskin exchange pulpits this coming Shabbat morning. I invite you all, once again, to join me in greeting Rabbi Muskin and welcoming him warmly upon his arrival at B'nai David. Davening begins, as usual, at 8:45.

Modern Orthodox Rabbis In Los Angeles Seek To Certify Business Ethics
My first thoughts when I heard about this plan.
I hope the execution of this plan is more effective than some of the spelling in this new letter: "PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL INFORMATION SHARED WITH THE PEULAT SACHIROR ANY OF ITS REPRSENTATIVES WILL BE HELD IN THE STRCTEST OF CONFIDENCE. THE CERTIFRICATION AGREEMENT WILL RFLECT THIS IN WRITING."

Israel Needs Our Help
Rabbi Elazar Muskin emails his members:
I just received a call from Dovid Cohen of Jerusalem who runs the Israel Chessed Fund that we constantly support throughout the year. Dovid, together with a lifetime friend, runs one of the most amazing Tzedakah funds in the world. Every penny that they receive is distributed to the needy (every case they support is checked and verified for authenticity). There is no administrative over head at all. Dovid and his friend volunteer their time to runnning this fund. They literally distribute millions of dollars a year and they are trusted by rabbis throughout the world (Rabbi Berle Wein personally endorses their work).

When In Doubt, Just Say No: In Search Of A "Friendlier" Halachic Response
A cautious approach toward innovative p'sak halachah has become the norm in Orthodoxy today. What values should direct p'sak? How should we balance traditional sources with our modern societal needs? How do we know where to draw the line?

Change Is In The Air, But Should It Be In The Siddur?
Traditional liturgy has remained largely unchanged for hundreds of years despite significant shifts in both society and culture. Can new prayers be halachically developed and integrated into liturgy? More important, should they?

Jason Weiner Is Officially The New Assistant Rabbi At YICC
He was the rabbinic intern for about a year.
From canonist.com July 2006: "It’s all-YCT, all-the-time here at Canonist this week. Anyway, for as much as the delay in certification by the RCA might be setting the yeshiva back, it scored a pretty major coup recently when recent graduate R’ Jason Weiner was hired as a rabbinic intern by the Young Israel of Century City. The rabbi there, Elazar Muskin, is an RCA heavyweight."
