Largest Group in 50-Year History Tested at 770 Dayanus

In a historic milestone for Central Yeshiva Tomchei Tmimim, 70 of the nearly 100 talmidim currently enrolled in the Dayanus program were recently tested successfully on Hilchos Shabbos, marking the largest group since the Rebbe initiated the program at the yeshiva in 5736.

In a series of tests administered by Rosh HaYeshiva Rabbi Zalman Labkowski, the talmidim were tested on the second section of Hilchos Shabbos.

“This is a very significant milestone” said Rabbi Ahron Liberow, who heads the program. “While the program has grown exponentially in recent years, having the vast majority of our largest cohort yet successfully maintain the rigorous curriculum of Hilchos Shabbos is particularly noteworthy.”

The program dedicates nearly a full year to Hilchos Shabbos, divided into three sections. The curriculum covers the majority of Hilchos Shabbos, beginning with the Mechaber and Nosei Keilim and continuing through the Alter Rebbe’s Shulchan Aruch.

At the tests, a l’chaim was shared in honor of the nine talmidim who, with the completion of Hilchos Shabbos, successfully concluded the program’s thirteen required subjects: Yaacov Alpern, Shaya Begun, Shmuel Gurary, Kalman Krinsky, Mendel Segal, Mendel Serebryanski, Leibel Springer, Mendel Sternberg, and Raphael Wilmowsky.
