Barry M, Yaffe, MD, Ph.D has been practicing clinical oncology for the past 22 years, and is in the process of shifting his professional emphasis back to his first love, biomedical research. Originally hailing from Memphis, TN, he studied under Rav Meir Belsky at The Yeshiva of the South. For the past two decades he has lived with his wife Jennifer in Atlanta, GA, a place which has developed into a serious makom Torah within a single generation. His passion is to elucidate a deeper understanding of Tehillim through the application of a novel yet ancient system of textual and thematic analysis. He is the proud father of three wonderful children and five grandchildren. He may be emailed at bmy777@yahoo.com.
