Join Rosh Yeshiva Rabbi Chaim Brovender for his weekly shiur on the parshat hashavua and come away with creative insights into the weekly Torah portion.

This week the Gemara describes different prohibited relationships that the resulting child is considered a Mamzer. This has ramifications on who the child can marry in the future. We will also learn about the laws of Jewish Conversion. Who can convert and how the conversion process works.

This week we will learn about Inheritance in Jewish Law and how it relates to Yibum. The Gemara will discuss several cases where we are unsure of the child's father is the deceased brother or the living brother, and now they are arguing over the inheritance. We will also learn that one needs to wait three months before performing Yibum or Chalitza.

Join Rosh Yeshiva Rabbi Chaim Brovender for his weekly shiur on the parshat hashavua and come away with creative insights into the weekly Torah portion.

This week we will learn various scenarios that begin with three  brothers, two of which marry two sisters. We will see what the third  brother is obligated to do if one or more of the brothers die. We will  also learn some fundamental halachic principles dealing with two or more  prohibitions that occur either simultaneously or one after the other.

A cat ate a goat bought for two zuzim. A dog bit the cat, a stick hit  the dog, a fire burned the stick, water put out the fire, an ox drank  the water, and so on. Join Rabbi David Sedley as he explores the historical and allegorical explanations of this final song of the Seder, Chad Gadya.

Join Mrs. Sarah Rudolph as she explores Hallel during the Seder. Why does it seem divided in two and what are the additions to it on Seder night? Why when it comes to Hallel why is this night different from other nights?

Tucked away at the end of birkat hamazon and just before Hallel is the peculiar custom of opening the door for Eliyahu Hanavi, Elijah the Prophet. Don’t open the door to strangers! Join Rabbi Amihai Zippor and explore why this prophet, more than all the others, has a place at our  annual Seder tables.

On Seder night we hide the matzah. Why? From whom is it hidden and what does hiding it  symbolize? This is even more interesting if one remembers that Joseph was called in Egyptian –  ‘צפנת פענח’ -the one who reveals or deciphers. Is there a connection between the words and the subjects? Join Rabbanit Yafit Clymer as she explores these and other questions about הצפון/Tzafun on Seder night.

Shulchan Orech is the part of the seder where we partake in the festive meal but that doesn’t mean the focus shifts elsewhere. Join Rabbi Gidon Rothstein as he discusses what we should eat, how we should eat it, and how much we should eat. What makes this holiday meal different from all other holiday meals, the rest of the Seder aside?
