About the Course

The Orach Chayim course represents a giant step forward in practical halachic knowledge. Even those who have already earned Semicha were qualified only in the areas of kashrus, whereas this course covers a much wider range of halachic topics that arise in daily Jewish life. These include Krias HaTorah, Hilchos Tefillah, Brachos, Tzedakah, Mezuzah, and Hilchos Beis Haknesses.

The course explores the halachos of these various topics with a focus on practical application. Custom designed course materials provide translations and visual aids to ensure that the minute details of the halachos are crystal clear.

If you’re ready to broaden your halachic expertise for practical application, check out the Lemaan Yilmedu Orach Chaim track. In just one year, it will enhance your ability to respond to questions for your own family and for others in your community.

Testimonials

The class with Lemaan Yilmedu has helped solidify my understanding of the laws of Shabbat. Learning in a community setting allows us to bring different points of view, which helps clarify the Halacha. Sharing the teachings with my family adds another layer of understanding as we discuss the rules every Shabbat.

Isaac Neuhaus, Phd

My class with Rabbi Weinstein on the Laws of Shabbos gave me knowledge that I didn’t previously have. I look forward to continuing. Thank you for offering this program!

Greg Zhivalyuk

Lemaan Yilmedu has given me a greater appreciation for Halacha as well as the wisdom of our Sages of blessed memory. It has made the study of Halacha more accessible to the average Jew like myself, and has brought my community closer together through this class.
