Furthermore, we are mindful of the public policy, moral and theological issues which bear upon the halakhic decision making process. This is because questions of personal identity and status are the core issues facing the Jewish People today. We include the laws concerning personal status – marriage, divorce and conversion – in the basic course of rabbinic studies. We are unique in two ways what we learn and how we learn. Our curriculum includes the laws of kashrut (Yoreh Deah Basar be Chalav and Taarovot) firmly grounding our students in traditional rabbinic studies.
