Rabbi Chaim Rapoport from London, internationally renowned lecturer, author and scholar, who also serves as the advisor to the Chief Rabbi of the United Kingdom, explored the Halachos of Geirus for Minors in a Shiur to the Kolel.
Taking a short break from his busy schedule this week as the scholar-in-residence for Yeshiva University, Rabbi Rapoport traveled to Crown Heights to deliver a lengthy Shiur on a fascinating and practical Halachic topic, namely the various opinions and views on the process of Geirus for minors, specifically when the parents aren’t yet fully frum.
Upon his entry to the Kolel L’horaah Ma’asis of Crown Heights, he complimented the Rosh Kolel Rabbi Sholom Shuchat, and Sgan Rosh Kolel Rabbi Shraga Homnick for their role in creating this institution of advanced Halachic studies together with the Menahel Rabbi Shlomo Greenwald, and his first impression of the Kol Torah in Kolel.
After the Shiur, the Yungeleit crowded around Rabbi Rapoport and engaged in a lively discussion analyzing and discussing the topics presented in the Shiur.
In a note sent to the Kolel staff after the Shiur, Rabbi Rapoport wrote (in Hebrew):
“A big thank you to the organizers of today’s Shiur.
It was great to see Rabbi Shuchat instructing and directing the Yungeleit who are studying Torah intensely, and with him Rabbi Homnick who is answering everyone’s questions. They are a perfect match to educate excellent students who will turn out to be great Dayanim.
I was very impressed by the interest and focus of the Yungeleit during the Shiur, despite the length of the Shiur.
May G-d help them to succeed in their endeavors, with much Nachas.”
