Annual Mifal Hashas Meeting in Bnei Brak

By A. Cohen

At its annual presidential board meeting headed by gedolei Yisroel at the home of HaRav Nissim Karelitz in Bnei Brak, Mifal HaShas renewed its commitment to foster Torah study among ameilei Torah.

Following an hour of lively discussions on the various study programs, it was decided that the Thirty Daf a Month program would continue next year with the study of Bovo Kammo, followed by Bovo Metzia. The Twenty Daf a Month Program would study Sanhedrin, Maccos, Shavuos and Avodoh Zorah. The Horo'oh-Shas Veposkim Program would continue studying Choshen Mishpot from Siman 34 through Siman 66. And the Orach Chaim Veyoreh Deah Program would continue studying Cheilek Gimmel until the end of Adar Beis and then in Nisan would start over at the beginning of Siman Alef.

HaRav Karelitz raised a proposal to introduce a new program for the study of Hilchos Shevi'is. The Admor of Tzanz backed the idea, saying, "The number of shomrei Shmittah is rising bli ayin hora and one must have solid, detailed knowledge of Hilchos Shevi'is, with all its strictures, studying them thoroughly."

Other members of the presidential board upheld the proposal, issuing a decision to start a program for the study of Mishnayos Shevi'is with the Rash's commentary and the halochos enumerated in the Mishneh Torah.
