Machon Lemaan Yilmedu invites shluchim and rabbanim to a special Yom Iyun on the subjects of chuppa v'kiddushin and mikvaos, with the guest of honor, Chief Rabbi and Nasi of the Beis Din Ha'Gadol, Rabbi Dovid Lau.
These topics were chosen because nearly every shliach encounters them when on shlichus and there is a constant need to learn the halachos and their practical application.
Also attending will be Rabbi Mordechai Farkash, author of Sefer Chuppa v'Kiddushin, Rabbi Pinchas Altheus, expert on chuppa v'kiddushin, and Rabbi Sholom Ber Shuchat, expert on mikvaos.
The event will take place, G-d willing, at Machon Lemaan Yilmedu's learning center in Crown Heights, on Wednesday, 2 Tammuz, June 21, from 11 am until 5 pm. The first half of the day will be on chuppa and kiddushin and the second half will be on mikvaos, including a guided tour of a mikva in the community to enable in-person learning about the structure of the mikva.

This week, all programs began, with many new participants alongside veteran students who after learning for one year and seeing how good it was, decided to continue learning for another year. Most of the talmidim participate in the programs via Zoom shiurim. There are also live shiurim given in Lemaan Yilmedu's beis medrash in Crown Heights for local residents.
After a year of intensive learning, a final was given to the talmidim of Machon Lemaan Yilmedu on Shechita and Sofer STa'M with Rabbi Dovid Refoel Banon, Rav and Dayan in the Chabad community in Montreal.
For a year and a half, about thirty shluchim have participated in a thorough and comprehensive course learning Hilchos Nidda. This week, they reached the siyum in a test given by the posek, the Debrecener Dayan, Rabbi Yechezkel Schwartz of Boro Park.
