Why is this Yarchei Kallah Different?
The Shivti Yarchei Kallah is unique in that it strives to
emulate the yeshiva-style of Iyun HaTorah, by toiling in learning the actual
sources of a sugya, and working it all the way through to the modern-day
application of the practical Halacha. While
the shiurim are an integral part of the Yarchei Kallah, the main focus is on
the actual chavrusa-style learning.
PROGRAMMING INFORMATION
Program details
Program begins on Motzei Shabbos with an opening-Pesicha
shiur.
This year’s shiur will be given by our scholar in residence
Rav Asher Weiss from Yerushalayim.
The next two days (Sunday and Monday) are divided into
morning and afternoon learning sedorim.
Each morning, a brief “opening shiur” introducing the limud
will be given by Rabbi Yosef Kushner.
Following the shiur, participants break off into pairs of
chavrusos for the seder limud. At the end of the seder, an in-depth shiur is
delivered by one of the Magidei Shiur.
On Monday afternoon, a comprehensive halacha shiur will be
delivered by one of the Magidei Shiur carefully structured to highlight all
practical aspects of the sugya.
Chavrusas
While we do encourage you to bring along a friend/ chavrusa,
we have arranged for “chavrusa brokers” who will match you with a partner that
meets your specific needs.
Language
All shiurim are delivered in English. Some of the divrei
chizuk from the Roshei Yeshiva of Beth Medrash Govoha may have some Yiddish
interspersed with English.
