For a year and a half, about thirty shluchim have participated in a thorough and comprehensive course learning Hilchos Taharas Hamishpacha. Next week, a new cycle of the course will begin, which will extend for the next year and a half.
For a year and a half, about thirty shluchim have participated in a thorough and comprehensive course learning Hilchos Taharas Hamishpacha. This week, they reached the siyum in a test given by the posek, the Debrecener Dayan, Rabbi Yechezkel Schwartz of Boro Park.
At Machon Lemaan Yilmedu they saw a need for shluchim to have a course to learn Hilchos Taharas Hamishpacha, along with shimush, for shluchim in cities far from communities where rabbanim who pasken in this area of halacha live, and for shluchim in developing communities who need a rav who can answer the community’s questions.
The course was given by the maggid shiur, Rabbi Tuvia Kasimov, Moreh Tzedek of the Badatz of Crown Heights, who is known as an expert in the laws of family purity, in addition to being a talented maggid shiur who has an outstanding talent for explanation.
The course curriculum included the source material behind the halacha, starting with the Tur and Beis Yosef, then the Shulchan Aruch and the nosei keilim, down to many practical questions from daily life.
Several tests were given during the course by leading rabbanim including Rabbi Yosef Yeshaya Braun, Mara d’Asra and member of the Badatz of Crown Heights, Rabbi Zushe Winner, Rosh Yeshiva of Tomchei Tmimim (Chovevei Torah) in Crown Heights, Rabbi Gedalia Oberlander, Rav of the Chabad community in Kingston, PA and well-known rabbanim from outside Chabad.
With all the tests, the talmidim proved their mastery of the material and those testing them were highly impressed.
Starting next week, im yirtzeh Hashem, a new cycle of the course (the third) will begin, which will once again extend for a year-and-a-half.
