About the Course

Now, thanks to Lemaan Yilmedu, Smicha is now an attainable goal for so many. The weekly Shiur is given live with a virtual option for those who are unable to attend in person classes.

The classes are led by Rabbi Mordechai Hecht who, using his signature thorough and engaging teaching style, breaks down the most technical topics into bite sized pieces so that anyone can easily understand the material.

Each student receives a set of custom workbooks that contain translation and visual accompaniments to ensure that the one learning the material has a crystal clear understanding of the subject at hand.

Every single class is recorded so that if any of the students miss a class, they have automatic access to all of the information to catch up, review and review again!

Testimonials

Joining Lemaan Yilmedu this year has opened up an entire new level to my learning and has challenged me to go beyond my regular learning seder. The shiurim are clear, comprehensive, and insightful and Rabbi Webb helped guide our class through the complex halachic process that I always struggled with. The program is structured to help each student succeed at their level. Being able to have a weekly shiur of this calibre is invaluable and I look forward to our program next year. I highly recommend joining!

Elisha Lucks

I look forward each week to learning halacha with Rabbi Webb and the chevre. It’s a great welcoming space where we all are looking to deepen our understanding of yiddishkeit. Highly recommend joining for anyone who wants to know what to do and why they’re doing it.

Perry Bell

I was looking for an opportunity to do intentional, consistent learning at a high level while maintaining my work schedule. I am so happy I was directed to Lemaan Yilmedu through my Rabbi. The program has allowed me to learn advanced subject-matter in a welcoming and approachable manner with a group of classmates that have become a community. Each class, we learn Halacha and have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss with knowledgeable, dedicated teachers.
