A special committee on behalf of Mosad Harav Kook in Jerusalem headed by Dr. Yitzhak Raphael, a member of the Israeli Parliament, is currently preparing plans for organizing assemblies for Torah She-b’al Peh (Oral Law) in the United States. For the last 13 years such assemblies have been taking place in Israel with the participation of hundreds of rabbis, scholars and men erudite in Judaica for the purpose of elucidating and clarifying in the light of Halacha, actual problems brought about by modern life. The success of these assemblies and the widespread response to them by all sections of Israeli Jewry created the idea of organizing similar assemblies in the United States with the participation of local rabbis and scholars and guests from Israel. The first assembly is scheduled to take place in this country at the end of the year.
