Author of 70 Seforim to Lead Kollel Aliba D’hilchasa 

Three months ago, Rabbi Yaakov Goldstein took up the position as Rosh Kollel of Kollel Aliba D’hilchasa of Merkos 302.

He is the director of ShulchanAruchHarav.com and the author of many seforim on Halacha, as well as Novi and Chassidus.

The kollel focuses on in-depth, practical halachic topics that are highly relevant to the daily life of shluchim. It follows an 8-year syllabus covering 16 fundamental sugyos in halacha. Every 6 months, participants will delve deeply into a specific topic, followed by time for chazara and an optional test. Participants who pass will receive a prestigious certificate of mastery, signed by leading Rabbonim from around the world.

(Hear an interview with Rabbi Goldstein about his life and the new Kollel.)

Over 50 Shluchim and Anash have already joined the new Kollel. In their first pilot semester they completed the halachos of bikur cholim, end-of-life shallos, dinei aninus and kevura. Next week they will start the most practical sections of hilchos aveilus for shluchim and Anash to master.

Rabbi Meir Shimon Moscowitz, Regional Director of Lubavitch Chabad of Illinois calls the kollel “the highlight of my week.” Rabbi Yoseph Fishman a Shliach in Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil enjoys the very organized material and extremely informative shiurim on Sugyos of practical Halacha.

The weekly commitment includes 2-3 hours of chavrusa learning, focusing on the Shulchan Aruch and its commentaries (nosei keilim), along with two live shiurim each week from expert Rabbonim.

One unique aspect of the kollel is that all its staff are active morei hora’ah. The Sgan Rosh Kollel, Rabbi Menachem Rotenberg, is a Moreh Horoah in Crown Heights. The Menahel Poel, Rabbi Mendel Vaisfish is also a Moreh Horoah in Crown Heights.

After Pesach: the Kollel will be learning dini ribis and dinei Tzedakah.
