Bimah Me Up Shmuli
This class explains the background and the theories behind the stance of only having the Bimah(platform) in the middle of the synagogue. This was a major controversy in the 1800s but has become standard in Orthodox synagogues around the world. So much so, that it made it's way into Congregation Kol Israel's Articles of Incorporation.

Insert Controversy Here: A comprehensive Meta-Halaka
As an introduction to Responsa, we will be exploring the Halakhik process and look into a philosophy of Halakha. The process we will look into will put Responsa firmly in the center of the process. This shiur is largely based upon Meta-Halakha by Moshe Koppel, but has a lot of my own musings and thoughts.
