The Yeshiva of Newark continued its partnership with Tzurba M’Rabanan This Episode's discussion

Zevachim Beats Eruvin!

Limud Torah that's only a Rabbinic Mitzvah

The Tzurba M’Rabanan halacha program is represented in Eretz Yisroel by over one thousand shiurim across the country. A systematic and concise learning method that walks the reader through the entire halachic process, Tzurba M’Rabanan covers the Biblical and Talmudic sources through modern-day halachic application. The Program has a depth that never veers away from impacting your daily life and the way you view daily halachic living. It conveys the logic behind each halacha, helping people develop a deeper appreciation for what they are practicing in their everyday lives, granting the participant a new perspective on the halachic system. After the English Language edition was launched over 5 years ago, with its clear introductions and trademark color-coded sections, Tzurba M’Rabanan began to take off in the Diaspora with over 50 Tzurba Shiurim in the United States. Tzurba is written in a digestible and easy-to-follow format allowing readers of all ages to walk away with a comprehensive understanding of halacha even without a guide or Rebbe. Each chapter contains all the sources in their original Hebrew along with a side-by-side English translation, informed by the aforementioned trademark color-coded sections based on the time period of the commentary. In addition to these prime sources,avreichim from the prestigious Manhigut Toranit have written additional in-depth articles to supplement the translations. Every Sunday night we will,ay'h, review and develop what has been studied by participants during the week and discuss interactively what we have learned.All of the Shiurim will be recorded for your convenience and be available on our dedicated site. https://jewishpodcasts.fm/rambanvsrambam Tzurba volumes are now available on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Books-Tzurba-MRabanan/s?rh=n%3A283155%2Cp_27%3ATzurba+M%27Rabanan which means most people can get their order within 2 days.
