Where does Yashrut semikhah lead?

For Rabbi Adam Mayer, it means helping young Jews develop meaningful and enduring connections to Jewish tradition.

For Rabbi Shani Rosenbaum, it means empowering the next generation of Jewish leaders through accessible and rigorous Talmud study.

For Rabbi Jon Kelsen, it means fostering dynamic Torah learning while answering the call to serve the Jewish people in multiple capacities.

Though their work takes different forms, each is bringing Torah, learning, and leadership into the communities they serve.

The Classic Talmud Program's in-person cohort just wrapped up the year with its final shiur, but in Yashrut, the learning never ends!

At the traditional Siyum, we recite: "הדרן עלך והדרך עלן...לא נתנשי מינך ולא תתנשי מינן..." - meaning: "we will return to you, and you will return to us...we will not abandon you, and you will not abandon us..." In this vein, Yashrut learners take their acquired lessons and skills with them wherever they go.

The depth and breadth of learning - from key concepts in Bava Batra, to critical reading skills for approaching rishonim and achronim – will surely continue to guide these fabulous students throughout their ongoing learning journeys!

In a Yashrut shiur, there are no spectators - every student reads and translates the text, every week. This means that each participant gets to build their learning muscles through active experience, receiving gentle feedback as they go, leading to marked improvement throughout the year. The Yashrut classroom is supportive, collaborative, and focused on growth, so that everyone gets to make real progress in their Torah learning journey.

Yashrut learning programs focus on more than just translating line-by-line, but instead on building a complete perspective of a unit of text, leading to greater appreciation of the bigger picture. By employing multiple modes of engagement with each source, students move from confusion to confidence and can then pick up on deeper meanings in the text.
