Yorucha Complete In-Depth Business Halacha Curriculum
FAQs
What is Yorucha?
A three-year limud through choshen mishpat — forty-two topics, about one a month, each divided into chalakim of a week. The calendar on the home page shows what is being learned this month.
Do I have to learn it with a chaburah?
No. Learn it on your own, with a chavrusa, or as part of a chaburah group. The materials are the same either way; the individual learning experience in the system as well as the chaburah experience are each tailored to support the lomed in his respective setup.
Can I join in the middle of the cycle?
Yes. Each topic stands on its own and a new one opens every month, so there is no month in which starting puts you behind. Wherever you come in is a good place to begin.
What if I miss a week?
Nothing is lost. The full topic now running and the last chelek of the topic before remain open, and your place is kept for you — so a week away can be made up without a gap. Enlisting in Mekushur opens everything from the day you enlist through the end of the cycle, for whenever you want to go back for it.
What do I get each week?
The marei mekomos for the chelek — on screen, downloadable, ready to learn from. A robust set of shiurim on the topic, audio and video. And your place in the limud, kept from week to week.
You can enlist in Mekushur to have: the booklet printed and delivered each month, the Overview Shiurim series, sikumei halachos, and ask shailos straight to the Dayanim.
Do I need to sign in?
The current topic week by week marei mekomos is open to learn without visiting your dashboard — the calendar on the home page links to it.
In your dashboard, that's where the limud actually lives; the shiurim, the forum, your chaburah, and your place kept from week to week. All we need is your name and email.
What is Yoru Mishpatecha?
The advanced limud, for rabbonim and those working toward היתר הוראה. It is a separate corpus with its own material and its own testing — not a deeper tier of Yorucha, and it is followed on its own page.
What is a specialty track?
A single year given entirely to one area of halacha — ribbis and finance is open now — on its own calendar, and is similarly structured and styled as Yorucha. It suits somebody who has already been through the full general cycle, or somebody whose line of work presents a higher pertinence. The lomed can learn one or the other, or both.
Can I ask a shaila on what I am learning?
Yes. The forum joins you with others learning the sugya, and that is open to every member. Asking a shaila privately to the Dayanim comes with Mekushur of your own — both are on your learning dashboard.
Is there testing?
If you want it. In-depth monthly written tests are there for anybody who has a cheshek to master the sugyos and can test toward accreditation.
How do I start a chaburah in my shul?
From your dashboard. That is where you join a chaburah that already exists as well. You can also begin one in an office setting. Our helpful executive staff is poised to assist in the setup, identifying a Maggid Shiur and setting up the materials.
