The learning revolution at Machon Limud Halacha Lemaan Yilmedu continues with registration now open for the new cycle that will begin, G-d willing, in Elul.
Since the Machon was started two years ago by Rabbi Yeshaya Zushe Wilhelm a'h, hundreds of students have joined a serious study of halacha. First and foremost is a course for Semicha - isur v'heter. There are also two additional programs that opened this year, a course to learn Hilchos Shabbos - halacha l'maaseh, and a course to learn Hilchos Chuppa v'Kiddushin.
Rabbi Wilhelm's vision was to make the study of halacha accessible to everyone, including working men, those with families, to enable them to invest the little free time at their disposal in the evening to learn halacha. This is without compromising on the quality of the learning. To make this possible, he initiated translating the Shulchan Aruch into English, providing written learning aids, and constructing a curriculum that is particularly suited for working men and men with families.
Now, the Machon is perpetuating his work and l'ilui nishmaso, with the goal being to open more and more programs on many topics in halacha, bringing the study of halacha to as many people as possible, within Chabad and outside it. The hanhala of the Machon is working now on including additional curricula including a course for those who teach chassanim, which will be in conjunction with the Machon Taharas Ha'Bayis, a course for the rav of a shul, a course on shechita, and more.
As mentioned, registration has opened for the three current courses: Semicha - isur v'heter, Semicha - Hilchos Shabbos, and Hilchos Chuppa v'Kiddushin.
This is your opportunity to join one of the courses and bring the light of Torah into your home with a methodical, deep study of halacha with an emphasis on the practical, halacha l'maaseh.
500 people participated in the impressive “Chag Ha’Semicha” event which took place last week in Oholei Torah’s hall in Crown Heights. Certificates were given out to 270 students who successfully completed the curriculum on 8 tracks.
This year-long course, will cover the areas of Halacha essential for every business person to live by. With a two-hour weekly class, the course is able to fit into your business schedule and still give you the tools you need to master many aspects of the Halochos related to business.
This year-long offering from Lemaan Yilmedu will provide you with the tools, training and certification to be a Sofer Stam. Taught by Rabbi Chaim Pape, a skilled Sofer, students will study the theory of Safrus in Keses Hasofer and the Alter Rebbe's Shulchan Aruch alongside intensive practical training.
