Renowned Av Beis Din and the Rov of the Satmar Kehila in Antwerp, Belgium, Rabbi Chaim Yosef Dovid Weiss (known as the “Chidu”), visited the new Kolel L’horaah Maasis in Crown Heights today, Tuesday, for a special Shiur in the Halachos of Ribbis and Heter Iska.
Dayan Weiss, who authored “Vayechi Yosef”, a comprehensive Sefer on the Halachos of Ribbis, dealing with close to 200 practical Ribbis scenarios in the business world, opened his Shiur with a miracle story about the Rebbe, and then went on to dedicate his Shiur to discuss the “El AL Refund” question and questions regarding seller-financed mortgages, corporations and buying commodities.
The Dayan, who is in town for his grandson’s wedding, left a Sheva Brachos in Borough Park this afternoon to deliver the Shiur, and after concluding the Shiur headed to Canarsie for another Shiur.
The Kolel, headed by Rosh Kolel Rabbi Sholom Shuchat, Sgan Rosh Kolel Rabbi Shraga Homnick, and Menahel Rabbi Yosef Shlomo Greenwald, is currently studying the Halachos of Ribbis, with plans to finish at the end of the year.
