Hilchot Gerim (הלכות גרים): A Guide for Learning

Becoming a Ger or Giyoret is a major decision for a person one that cannot be taken lightly. Throughout Jewish history there have been many converts who have done both great things and unfortunately sad things. The shiurim will explore the sources of the halachot of conversions from the Tanach, Gemaras through the Tur, Beit Yosef, Shulchan Aruch and related commentaries to give an overall appreciation of the requirements for conversion. Additionally, we will explore some of the post conversion Halachot involving areas in Orchic Chaim, Yoreh Deah, Even HaEzer and Chosen Mishpat.

These shiurim are intended as a guide in your learning process. Be sure to have the sources right in front of you. As you learn these pages go inside the sources yourself and see what Chazal is telling us. This will help you as you learn other areas of Halachot.
