Welcome to the Home Study Semicha Program

About the Program

The Semicha program is under the auspices of Rabbi Yaakov Goldstein who is the Director of Shulchanharav.com & Author of the “Semicha Aid” and “Halacha Aid” series. The Home Semicha Study Program [HSSP] is an affiliate program of Shulchanaruchharav.com which serves as the largest English Database of practical Halacha available on the web.

The purpose of our Semicha program is to provide Jewish men throughout the world the opportunity of learning practical Halacha within a Semicha curriculum. The entire idea behind today’s Semicha is, as explained by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, to increase one’s knowledge of practical Halacha in order to be aware of possible Halachic issues involving day to day occurrences.

At many times one is unable to turn to a Rav to verify the answer for a Shaala and hence prior knowledge is necessary. Through this program one will gain knowledge in various topics of practical Halacha. The student will be tested and receive certification for his accomplishments. We provide learning text books for each subject. These textbooks are meant to accompany the student throughout his home learning and afterwards whenever a question comes up. This allows students who are unable to learn in an actual Semicha institute to also learn the curriculum, gain the knowledge, and receive certification.
