NEW BEITAR INSTITUTE - COLLEL, ESTABLISHED THIS SUMMER, PUBLISHES ITS FIRST VOLUME OF TORAH SCHOLARSHIP


The Beis Moshiach 770 Institute for Rabbinics, Dayanus, and Training of Yeshiva Educators in Beitar, Israel, a new Collel established early this summer, has astonished the Torah world by publishing its first volume of Torah scholarship.

Entitled “Shomrei Mishpat,” this collection’s hundreds of pages feature fruits of the scholastic labors of the Institute’s students on subjects they have studied in depth over the summer, primarily on aspects of the laws of Nidda. It is special because, until now, few published works of Chidushim follow the Alter Rebbe’s unique rulings on these subjects.

The volume opens with a sicha of the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, shlita, on the obligation to study practical Halacha, and another which explains a subject of the laws of Nidda. The “Section by Rabbonim” includes insights by Rabbi Asher Lemel Cohen of Beitar Illiet, and by Rabbi Rafael Tchikvashvili of Yerushalyim.

The central section of the volume includes explanations of laws of Nidda by the Rosh HaCollel, Rabbi Yisrael Schvartz, Av Beis Din of Tel Tziyon, based on his weekly shiurim at the Institute. It is followed by insights, scholarly discussions, and Halachic explanations on these subjects composed by the students, and by the Mayshiv of the Collel, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Silverman, Chabad shaliach and Rav in Elad. Other students’ insights in this volume deal with subjects of RaMBaM’s Mishneh Torah code of laws, and of Chassidus – which is studied every morning at the Collel – among others.

Concluding the volume is an overview of the Institute’s establishment and development, together with a group picture of the students.

Rabbi Schvartz expressed his satisfaction at how the Torah labors of the Collel’s students, combined as they are with the holiness of Chassidus and special emphasis on study of subjects of Moshiach and Geula, have together produced these Torah insights and clarified the Halachic subjects in their practical ramifications.

The Institute’s executive director, Reb D’niel HaLeivi Goldberg, tells how gratified he is at the Collel’s great accomplishments within just a few months, especially its success in introducing real innovations in the study of practical Halacha and the training of Yeshiva educators. In particular, this volume’s publication – following the directive of the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, shlita – creates a powerful momentum for the Institute’s further development. The volume will be disseminated throughout the Holy Land and other lands, thereby creating a kiddush Hashem for Chabad and the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, shlita.
