Is LED lighting allowed on Shabbos? When may one do an autopsy? Are Jewish-owned mortgages Ribbis? Will the miracles of stem-cell-based medicine be accessible according to Torah?
In the 21st century, many shailos—from the everyday to the exceptional—can only be understood by someone possessing an intimate familiarity with the technical details and a broad knowledge of recent poskim.
Australian Rabbi Faitel Levin has teamed up with Beis HaMedrash L’Shluchim – Merkos #302 to host his acclaimed post-semicha learning for the modern world: the Beis Medrash for Advanced Contemporary Halacha.
Rabbi Levin is the author of Hamafteach Hagadol, a Rov for over thirty years, and is famous for his vast knowledge of contemporary Teshuvos and science.
This online series of classes is open to post-semicha bochurim, kolel yungerleit, members of anash and Shluchim around the globe.
“As a Rabbi in a remote community,” says Rabbi Falik Schtroks, Shliach in Surrey, BC, Canada. “I knew that there was so much knowledge I needed more of—particularly as halacha pertains to modern life. Rabbi Levin’s classes were a game changer.”
“We covered every modern-day shaila I could think of, replete with a breathtaking journey through its science, history, and relevant Teshuvos. I now understand the relative weight of some shailos versus others, and I’ve discovered issues I never even knew to look out for. I highly recommend it!”
The Beis Medrash features three tracks, from advanced to basic—accommodating every schedule:
1. תורתו אומנתו – the most intensive track, includes full participation in all shiurim as well as the required study of over 200 Teshuvos. Cost: $3450.
2. שונה הלכות – the intermediate track, focuses on the shiurim while participants study the Teshuvos at their leisure. Cost: $2950.
3. אליבא דהלכתא – covers the shiurim alone. Cost: $2750.
All participants are tested six times over the year on their required material, and each student will receive an appropriate certificate on graduating.
The course will begin on 5 Cheshvan 5779 (14 October 2018), and will continue until 8 Tamuz 5779 (11 July 2019). Orientation week, including final enrollment, will be from 25 Tishrei (Oct. 4) until 2 Cheshvan (Oct. 11). The above prices are early bird discounts if you sign up before Tes Vov Elul 5778).
