Rabbinical/Semicha Program
For students accepted into the Semicha program they are required to spend three-years studying Halacha in the afternoons in addition to their morning seder of Gemara. The three years usually consist of: Shabbat, Nidah, and Issur v'Heter. Other classes include Hashkafa (Jewish Philosophy) and Practical Rabbinics. A mandatory b'keiyut program in Talmud was instituted beginning with the 2008-2009 year.

Famous quotes containing the word program:
“In 1862 the congregation of the church forwarded the church bell to General Beauregard to be melted into cannon, hoping that its gentle tones, that have so often called us to the House of God, may be transmuted into wars resounding rhyme to repel the ruthless invader from the beautiful land God, in his goodness, has given us.”
