The Kolel L’horaah Ma’asis of Crown Heights began the new year of learning with the continued study of Hilchos Eruvin in the morning, getting closer to the practical Halachos of building Eruvin, and in the afternoon began the study of the Halachos of Yuchsin, how to determine whether one is Jewish, or a Kohen, or if he is prohibited from getting married.
The topics that will be covered in the afternoon Seder throughout the year will include medical issues relevant to fertility, Halachos of marriage, writing a Kesubah, financial agreements and disputes relating to the Kesubah, and the Halachos of Giyur.
The Kolel, in its third year, is focused on training Yungeleit to serve as Rabonim Morei Horaah and Poskim, and is directed by Rabbi Sholom Shuchat (Rosh Kolel), Rabbi Shraga Homnick (Sgan Rosh Kolel) and Rabbi Yosef Greenwald (Menahel).
