Yerach HaEisanim at the Bais HaVaad | | As Elul gave way to Tishrei, Kehillas Bais HaVaad was privileged to hear divrei hisorerus from Harav Bentzion Kokis שליט״א, Mashgiach Ruchani at BMG, who delivered an inspiring drasha on Motzei Shabbos Selichos. Rav Kokis spoke about the impending Yom HaDin, highlighting how the Dayan Yechidi advocates for Klal Yisroel's favorable judgment, as their continued existence sustains the tachlis habriah. In the days leading up to Sukkos, Rabbanim and Dayanim of the Bais HaVaad were available for bedikas dalet minim, a service utilized by many seeking expert halachic guidance. A dedicated dalet minim distribution was also held for the Bais HaVaad's kollel yungeleit and dayanim, ensuring they received mehudar lulavim and esrogim in preparation for the chag. | | | Yoru Mishpatecha Expands in Lakewood and Beyond | | The Yoru Mishpatecha program continues to gain momentum, with new sedarim and locations launching across the country and beyond. At the Bais HaVaad, a new second seder and a structured night seder have been added, offering local lomdim more opportunities to engage in the program.
A global virtual chabura, now drawing over 100 Rabbanim, Poskim, and bnei Torah from around the world, provides a virtual forum for ongoing learning and interaction. The highlight of the week is where participants nation-wide gather and join with the esteemed Kollel Dayanus of the Bais HaVaad for a weekly interactive Zoom chabura.
In Orlando, a new second seder kollel has been established, joining the global Yoru Mishpatecha network in its structured Choshen Mishpat limud.
The program has been enthusiastically embraced in cities including Monsey, Baltimore, Cleveland, Detroit, Los Angeles, Toronto, and beyond. Participants are engaging with the curriculum independently, with chavrusas, and in organized chaburos. Locally, the Cedarwood Hills Shul has adopted the curriculum for its afternoon seder, while Kollel Leil Shimurim at Khal D'Brooklwood in Jackson has integrated it into its night seder.
On Monday, November 3rd, the first regular shiur was delivered to the Bais HaVaad Kollel and made available via Zoom, allowing participants nationwide to learn together and ask live questions. In addition, a dedicated Yoru Mishpatecha Forum has been launched, enabling lomdim worldwide to interact and gain clarity as a unified learning community.

The Detroit Kollel has enjoyed the pleasure of hearing multiple shiurim from Bais HaVaad Rabbonim and Dayanim recently where they have expounded on the practical applications of the sugyos learned. | | | New Sefer: Piskei Aruch Hashulchan by Dayan Eliezer Cohen | | In the absence of a Mishnah Berurah on Choshen Mishpat, the Aruch Hashulchan stands as the sole recent authoritative work of the Gedolei HaPoskim encompassing the entirety of Choshen Mishpat.
Due to the nature of the lengthy halachic digressions involved in the complex sugyos of monetary halacha, Dayon Eliezer Cohen masterfully sifted through the volumes and produced a one-volume abridged edition, entitled Pischei Aruch Hashulchan. Divided into daily learning segments, this sefer carefully retains the original wording while selecting the parts most relevant for the average lomeid, enabling every layman to learn through these halachos and gain a strong, comprehensive knowledge in a timely manner. | | | Mazel Tov to Rabbi Moshe Zev Granik | | The Bais HaVaad extends a heartfelt mazel tov to Rabbi Moshe Zev Granik, Dayan at the Bais HaVaad, upon his remarkable accomplishment of completing Shas once again!

Morning seder is focused on Hilchos Halva'ah and To'en veNit'an, while second seder begins with Hilchos Areiv and Nizkei Shecheinim, and continuing into the third chelek of Choshen Mishpat. | | | Current Yorucha Topic: Custodians -הלכות שומרים | | The current limud in the Yorucha program is Hilchos Shomrim, covering the halachos of custodianship in both personal and business settings.
Topics include: • Becoming a Custodian • Paid and Unpaid Custodians • Borrowers & Renters • General Halachos of Shomrim
These sugyos are essential for navigating real-life scenarios involving responsibility, liability, and safeguarding property, whether among neighbors, employees, or clients.
