The laws of kashrus are the most common laws in our daily lives which is why it is particularly important to learn them thoroughly, to know what to do and how to handle a question that arises. Every Jew encounters kashrus questions on a daily basis and so, learning the halachos is practical; on top of the importance of Torah study.

The "Hilchos Kashrus" course at Lemaan Yilmedu covers the most important topics in the laws of kashrus in four main areas:

1. The laws of meat and milk - transferring taste, sharp food, insects, blood in eggs, parve foods, etc.

2. The laws of gentile food - the cooking of a gentile, bread of a gentile, milk of a gentile, etc.

3. The laws of immersing keilim - the laws of ownership of the kli, types of keilim, chatzitza, etc.

4. The laws of purging keilim - the laws of hagala, libun, kashering a kitchen, different types of keilim, etc.

For students who completed their semicha studies, learning the laws of meat and milk will constitute a review of the material. Additionally they will acquire in depth knowledge in the other areas of kashrus with an emphasis on practical application.

The maggid shiur for this course is Rabbi Yossi Barber who has many years of experience teaching the laws of kashrus. He is known for his clear method of delivery and wide-ranging knowledge especially of practical questions.

As mentioned, the learning will focus on the practical but will include learning from the Shulchan Aruch in order to get down the basics and gain an understanding of the halacha in the best possible way.

Along with the weekly class, students will get booklets of summaries and diagrams which will help them understand the halachos, as well as booklets with the Shulchan Aruch with English translation.

If you've always wanted to learn the laws of kashrus in a thorough way, this is your chance!
