Many questions in Halacha can be brought to a Rov when a convenient opportunity arises, or one can pick up the phone and call a Rov. Shabbos, however, is unique: the question won’t be applicable by motzei Shabbos and you can’t call the Rov. In larger communities, you can find a Rov in Shul. But in smaller communities, where they may not be a qualified and experienced Rov, incorrect conclusions are reached by laymen and rabbis.

Finally, Lemaan Yilmedu has created a program to cover every aspect of Hilchos Shabbos with a focus on practical Halacha and psak, taught by Los Angeles Rov, Rabbi Yisrael Noach Raichik, a well-known expert in this field and co-author of an upcoming English sefer on Hilchos Shabbos.

The program will prove especially important to Shluchim who are often the only source of Halachic guidance in their communities, but most Shluchim have never had the opportunity to delve into Hilchos Shabbos in a way that would allow them to issue practical rulings. 

Even in larger communities where there are other Rabbonim qualified to issue a psak, a Shliach may want the ability to be the address for all his community’s needs without making people have to shop around.

Course applicants may be yungerlait, Shluchim, future Shluchim and anyone who needs this knowledge and is serious about studying the material.

The course will go through all of Hilchos Shabbos studied from the original sources of the Tur, Beis Yosef, Shulchan Aruch and Nosei Kelim, with a focus on distilling the approach of the Alter Rebbe and later Chabad poskim.
