jewish books - Which seforim did you use when learning for Rabbinic Semicha


Which sforim and topics are commonly learned by students who are studying to receive Rabbinic ordination?


ie: Yoreh De'ah Melicha - Tur V'Shulchan Aruch



Different groups within Orthodox Judaism require different levels of in depth study in Halacha. The question will show readers a broad spectrum of what kind of learning goes into different Semicha programs.



Answer



In the Chabad world, it depends on the program.

  • Basar Bechalav

  • Taaroves (or Taaruvos)

  • Parts of Melicha


Some learn




  • Full Melicha
