The Yarchei Kallah is a comprehensive, in-depth learning experience during which physician and non-physician participants will have the opportunity to learn medical halacha and ethics in a yeshiva/kollel environment. Contemporary topics will be introduced and reviewed in shiur presentations by local Roshei Yeshiva and Rabbanim, analyzed during facilitated chavrusa study of relevant source texts, and further analyzed in-depth during shiurim by the program's director HaRav Yaakov Weiner, shlita. The program's goal is to learn medical halacha in-depth and study how chazal and poskim apply Torah principles and approaches to contemporary halachic and ethical issues in the practice of medicine.

St. John Health/Providence is proud to support this program because of a commitment to serve their halachically observant neighbors
