What We Study

This rigorous class tackles complex halachic topics through careful analysis of Talmudic sources, Rishonim, Acharonim, and contemporary responsa. We don’t just learn what the halacha is—we understand why, exploring the reasoning and methodology behind Jewish legal decisions.

Our study includes:

• Primary source analysis (Gemara, Rashi, Tosafot)
• Tracing halachic development through Shulchan Aruch and commentaries
• Examining modern-day applications and questions
• Understanding legal methodology (svara, precedent, principles)
• Exploring contemporary poskim and responsa

Current cycle: [Topic – e.g., “Hilchot Shabbat,” “Business Ethics,” “Medical Halacha”]
