For an increasing number Yeshiva boys ages ten to fourteen years old, the hachana for Shabbos is taking on a particularly special dimension.
This amazing program currently has over one hundred groups in local Batei Medrash in a variety of neighborhoods in cities across North America, including Toronto, Montreal, New York, Lakewood, Detroit, Baltimore, Cleveland, Chicago and many others.
These groups of boys spend 30-45 precious minutes prior to Kabalas Shabbos learning and acquiring some of the most common Hilchos Shabbos.
One of the major factors of Likras Shabbos’ worldwide success besiyayta deShmaya, is the Sefer Meorei Halacha, which is based on the world renowned Sefer Klalim Behilchos Shabbos. Meorei Halacha is a beautifully illustrated series of sefarim on melachos such as Bishul, Borer, Tochen, and Lash etc., which is specifically geared for children. The series has been approved by the Batei Dinim of Harav Nissim Karelitz Shlit”a and Harav Shmuel Wosner Shlit”a, and is used in the Likras Shabbos shiurim.
A wide-ranging network of professional Rabbeim, give the halacha Shiurim to the boys every Erev Shabbos. These Rabbeim put a particular emphasis on articulating these complex halachos in an enjoyable, child friendly manner. Likras Shabbos are universally amazed at the enthusiasm their talmidim show toward the shiur. There’s nosh and raffles, but these young boys seem most enamored by the Torah they acquire
The proud parents of the Likras Shabbos program’s more than 1500 talmidim watch their children’s accomplishments with the utmost yiddish nachas. Many fathers have even sought to join the program themselves.
