Good News from Eretz Hemdah Tishrei 5778

Everyone is entitled to learn in depth

Ba’alei batim, too, should have the opportunity for intensive learning!

A yeshiva background and strong intellectual powers, along with free time, which are possessed by many who would like to grow in Torah, inspired us to establish "Morenu", a program to grant rabbinic ordination without permit to officiate as a Rabbi, which is challenging in all aspects that were mentioned.

The participants in the program receive a weekly booklet that requires about an hour of in depth study each day. A second booklet, which goes into greater depth, is distributed to those who request it. There is also a weekly 90 minute class on the texts studied.

The students are exposed to Eretz Hemdah’s halachic approach, as reflected in its responsa projects, Shut B'mareh Habazak” and “Ask the Rabbi.”

Two graduates of Eretz Hemdah, Rabbi Yitzhak Steinberg – head of the beit midrash in Ra’anana, and Rabbi Bezalel Daniel – a dayan of the Eretz Hemdah-Gazit beit din, draw up the materials to be studied, under the direction of the kollel heads. Rabbi Steinberg gives the weekly course in Hebrew. In the near future the program will be offered to English-speakers as well, with Rabbi Daniel as the instructor.

This past year, the program was offered at the Ohel Ari congregation in Ra’anana. Dozens of ba’alei batim were delighted and took an active part in it, as well as fine-tuning the programs for the future.

All the materials are available for viewing and downloading at the Eretz Hemdah website: http://www.eretzhemdah.org/content.asp?PageId=3101&lang=he
