Think about the last time you enjoyed a festive meal. We often take for granted that the meat on our table is 100% kosher, but that reality depends on a highly specialized and increasingly rare skill: Nikkur.

we are reaching out today on behalf of Kollel Bikkurei Yosef, a place very dear to me. Led by the world-renowned Rabbi Amitai Ben David—author of the definitive work Sichas Chullin—the Kollel is a unique powerhouse of practical Halacha, where the most complex laws of the Torah are brought to life with clarity and precision.

We are currently launching a campaign to fund a dedicated Nikkur Kidmi Shiur. To make this possible, we need to raise $30,000. This covers the significant costs of sourcing a high volume of animal parts for the Yungerman to practice on—ensuring they gain true mastery through hands-on experience—and brings in top-tier experts to provide specialized instruction.

Kollel Bikkurei Yosef is doing work that is truly unique and necessary. I hope you’ll join me in helping them reach this goal so that this expertise remains available to us all.

Please join me in supporting this vital initiative:
