Today, a group of our FYHS 11th and 12th grade talmidim had the special opportunity to visit the cRc and hear from the Av Beis Din, Rabbi Reiss shlit”a. As a culmination of their year learning Maseches Gittin, the students gained firsthand insight into the halachos and process of a Get, bringing their learning to life in a meaningful and practical way. The visit concluded with an engaging Q&A session, where talmidim had the chance to ask thoughtful questions and deepen their understanding of this important area of halacha.
