The Virtual Halacha Program is an innovative platform offering accessible and flexible Torah learning opportunities, including the option for online smicha. Designed to mirror the comprehensive curriculum of Kollel YNA, the program brings the same depth of learning to participants regardless of location. With the convenience of an online smicha program, VHP empowers individuals to achieve their learning goals while remaining connected to a community of like-minded learners.
Through its structured framework, VHP ensures that participants stay focused and motivated. The program incorporates accountability systems, a WhatsApp group for sharing insights, and access to a shoel u’meishiv to address questions, creating a supportive and engaging learning atmosphere. Participants can take pride in mastering Halacha while developing essential learning tools and achieving personal growth.
VHP also provides an option for semicha, offered at the discretion of the program’s rabbis. The rigorous online smicha program requires dedication, consistency, and a commitment to learning. For those pursuing semicha, the program includes two tracks: Semicha in Orach Chaim and Semicha in Yoreh Deah. Both tracks span approximately four years and involve in-depth study of the curriculum and regular shiurim. Participants take online exams every two months and occasionally complete oral exams via video with program rabbis. The Orach Chaim track further includes a Bekius segment, emphasizing efficient and thorough learning.
Completing the full program, even without pursuing semicha, is highly rewarding. Participants receive a Michtav Bracha from Harav Nebenzahl Shlita, a testament to their accomplishments. For those aiming for semicha, the rigorous standards and personalized learning plans ensure a meaningful and comprehensive educational journey.
VHP’s commitment to excellence and its vibrant, supportive community make it a premier choice for smicha online. With its accessible format and high academic standards, the program enables participants to achieve Torah learning and halachic expertise at the highest level.
