Scholar Track

עִיּוּן Advanced Scholar Certificates

Serious Torah scholarship — for people with full lives.

Go deep in the areas of Halacha and Jewish thought you've always wanted to master, on a high-end digital campus, entirely at your own pace. Choose a certificate, learn when life allows, and finish with something to show for it.

חָכְמָהWhat This Is

Depth, without putting your life on hold.

Not everyone learning seriously is heading for the pulpit. Lay leaders, professionals, and dedicated learners want the real thing — primary sources, careful analysis, genuine mastery — on a schedule that fits a job, a family, and a life.

The Scholar track is built exactly for that. Choose a focused certificate, study at your own pace on our digital campus, and earn a Certificate of Completion that marks real accomplishment — with a standing invitation to audit live sessions in Jerusalem.

How It Works

Three steps. No fixed schedule.

Choose your certificate

Pick the area you want to master — Kashrus, Shabbos, Tefillah, and more. Start with one, or work through several over time.

Study at your pace

Learn on our high-end digital campus: recorded shiurim, beautifully prepared source sheets, and the freedom to study whenever life allows.

Earn your certificate

Complete the course for a Certificate of Completion — and audit live Jerusalem Beis Medrash sessions along the way if you'd like.

The Certificates

Choose your area of mastery.

Each certificate is a complete, self-contained course — from the source texts to living practice. You’ll be guided toward the certification exams every step of the way, with structured preparation and real support from our faculty whenever you need it. Take one, or collect them.

אִסּוּר וְהֶיתֵּר

The laws of the permitted and the forbidden — the backbone of kashrus, from the kosher kitchen to the questions a rav fields every week.

בָּשָׂר בְּחָלָב
Basar B’Chalav

Meat, milk, and their mixtures: the principles and the practical rulings that govern a kosher home and a communal kitchen.

תַּעֲרוֹבוֹת
Taaroves

Nullification, doubt, and complex mixtures — training the judgment to resolve the cases that are never quite in the book.

נִדָּה
Niddah

Taharas Hamishpacha and the sensitive guidance of family life — among the most consequential responsibilities a community rabbi carries.

שַׁבָּת
Hilchos Shabbos

The 39 melachos and their application to a modern world — technology, medicine, and the real questions of contemporary Shabbos observance.

אֲבֵלוּת
Aveilus

Death, mourning, and the comfort of the bereaved — guiding families through loss with halachic precision and human care.

תַּלְמוּד תּוֹרָה

Self-paced — but never on your own.

Distance learning doesn't have to mean learning in isolation. The Scholar track runs on a high-end digital campus, and you're welcome to audit live sessions from our Jerusalem Beis Medrash — so the world's most serious house of study is only ever a click away.

Questions

Before you enroll.

Do I need a background in learning?
No. The Scholar track is designed for motivated lay learners and professionals. Comfort with basic Hebrew helps, but the courses are built to support a range of levels.
How does pricing work?
Two ways: a flexible $150-per-month subscription you can cancel anytime, or a one-time $1,200 to own a complete certificate course with lifetime access.
Is it really self-paced?
Yes — it's fully online and self-paced. There's no fixed schedule; you study whenever life allows.
What exactly is the certificate?
A Certificate of Completion for each area you finish — a mark of serious personal accomplishment. It is not a rabbinic ordination or a professional credential.
Can I really audit sessions in Jerusalem?
Yes. Scholar students are welcome to audit live sessions from our Jerusalem Beis Medrash — a real window into the heart of the program, from anywhere.
Could this lead to the Semicha or Pastoral track?
It's an excellent foundation. If you later decide to pursue a vocational path, our Semicha and Pastoral Leadership tracks are built for exactly that.
