A central Kinus Torah was held on Isru Chag Pesach at 770 Eastern Parkway, drawing participation from temimim and Anash.

The annual gathering, held in accordance with the Rebbe’s directive to increase Torah study during and following the Yom Tov, took place on Sunday at 770. The Kinus Torah is organized each year by Rabbi Shneur Zalman Labkowski, Rosh Yeshiva of Tomchei Tmimim Central Yeshiva at 770, who has overseen the event for many years with the Rebbe’s blessings.

Shiurim were delivered by rabbanim from the Crown Heights community, guest rabbanim, and members of the yeshiva hanhala. The program was conducted with care and precision by Rabbi Labkowski.

As part of the “Dvar Malchus,” Rabbi Michoel Seligson reviewed a sicha of the Rebbe.

Among the featured presentations:

Rabbi Avraham Baruch Pevzner, rov of Anash in France, spoke on the halachic status of one who forgot to make an Eruv Tavshilin.

Rabbi Levi Yitzchok Raskin, dayan of Anash in London, discussed the parameters of the first and second days of Yom Tov and the halachos that result from those distinctions.

Rabbi Meir Shlomo Kaplan, a member of the hanhala of Yeshivas Oholei Torah, presented detailed insights into the Haggadah of the Rebbe, including the arrangement of the Seder plate, its specific timing, and distinctions between the Alter Rebbe’s rulings in Shulchan Aruch and in his Siddur.

Rabbi Avraham Osdoba, member of the Crown Heights Beis Din and mara d’asra, addressed the halachos of engaging in chametz-related commerce on Pesach through a non-Jewish agent.

Rabbi Hillel Heller, Rosh Yeshiva of Westchester Yeshiva, discussed the halacha of one who errs in Sefiras HaOmer and whether a new bracha is required, drawing comparisons to similar cases in Kiddush and Havdalah.

Additionally, hatomim Menachem Mendel Ifregen shared a pilpul with the crowd from a forthcoming sefer he is preparing for publication, focusing on the topic of the “Arba Avos Nezikin.”

The Kinus Torah once again reflected the Rebbe’s call to utilize the Yom Tov season as a time of strengthened Torah learning, continuing its impact into the days that follow.
