The CY’s Advanced Halakhah program is for experienced learners looking for an opportunity to explore the many layers of rabbinic texts as they develop throughout history and as they are observed today. 

This program focuses on studying rabbinic texts, commentaries, halakhic codes and responsa, emphasizing critical textual analysis and the historical development of Jewish law.

Class format: Interactive class on Zoom and with a live audience at the CY (1 hr, 15 min) with lecture and discussion, twice per week.
