(From the book by Rabbi Kaganoff, "Addictions: Halocho and Hashkofo")
As the result of these letters, an Asifa (gathering) for Rabbonim was convened (summer ’11) in Lakewood. Rabbi Dr. Avrohom J. Twerski presented some basic information concerning addictions to this Asifa. This same summer the “Chosson Rebbes” of BMG were also addressed on this same topic by another mental health professional.
