Daily Shiurim

Each avrech participates in daily shiurim covering a wide range of halachic subjects, including complicated topics such as hilchos Shabbos, hilchos Niddah, and hilchos Ta'aroves. These shiurim build a solid foundation of halacha and develop a deep understanding of the halachic sugyos. Each shiur comprehensively analyzes the halachic sources and brings out the halachic principles that guide the psika.

Halachic Kuntress Writing

Each avrech writes a halachic thesis displaying a thorough analyzation of a specific halachic topic, including talmudic sources, rishonim and acharonim, and then presents his conclusions. This enables the yungerleit to develop analyzation abilities and a deeper understanding of complex halachic sugyos. The roshei kollel review the kuntresses, giving constructive feedback and improving the avrechim's halachic assessment abilities.
