🥤I'm drinking all morning. When does my bracha expire? 🥤
If this has ever been you, you're NORMAL.
(And you're in the right place!)
🥛
Okay, I've been drinking all morning. When do I make a new bracha?
🥗
I decided to stop eating. Period. But then she reminded me about the ta'anis tomorrow. Do I make a new bracha?
🍨
So, I just ate a bowl of ice cream. Can I drink a can of soda on the same bracha?
🍌
I can't believe it. I literally don't remember if I made ho'adama or not.
🥨
I stepped out to call in the kids. Can I finish eating my pretzel outside or do I hafta make a new bracha?
🍰
I'm half way up the street on the way to work - but I didn't say al hamichya after that cake. Do I HAVE to go back? My boss'll blow if I come late.
Whether you..
🍉 Feel that you're not yet completely clear on the halachos even though you learned them several times in high school / Yeshiva / Seminary...
🍊 Familiar with all the concepts, but never have the confidence to know what to do when the question's staring you in the face
🍐 Have some come-up-daily questions you need answered, but you keep forgetting to look it up or ask the Rav
🍍 Have never learned the halachos before properly, know that they are probably complex and you're getting things not so spot-on, and you sincerely want to grow and learn and improve
🍇Would just really love a refresher
You want to learn halachos of Brachos.
You want to learn halachos of Brachos.
But there's a but.
[And especially if you're blessed with little ones - you find yourself saying brachos rishonos around the house all day, with children playing outside and having to run after them, eating all types of food throughout the day (not official meals🙄) and running to the bus stop with food still in hand...]
BUT
BUT
It takes TIME.
It takes ENERGY.
It takes CONCENTRATION.
As an adult living in 2024, you have precious, little reserves of all three!
The WILL is (no question!) 100% there.
Of course you want to serve Hashem in the best way you can.
Of course you want to know halacha like you know the contents of the cookie cabinet.
Of course you would… if only you could…!
There was a time in your life
There was a time in your life
when you could concentrate on learning halacha for a straight hour.
School. Mesivta. Seminary. Yeshiva. Camp.
It's not your fault - that time is GONE!
You can't blame yourself for not regularly learning halacha the old way.
Let's be dangerously honest
It just doesn't fit into your current circumstances.
✨NEW circumstances call for NEW solutions.✨
You need a solution that is...
You need a solution that is...
⏳
SHORT
It's got to be a length that you can see fitting into your schedule
🧠
MEMORABLE
It's not just you. A Harvard study in 2016 found that teens remember stuff better than adults. You need a method of learning that'll help you - an adult - remember the halachos long-term.
🔥
ENGAGING
Once you've set aside the time, it's FRUSTRATING to find yourself spacing out. You need something that'll grip your attention from beginning to end.
The Brachos Bootcamp
Avoid doubt and say it with confidence!
was crafted by Rabbi Saberski, (Moreh Hora'ah in Gateshead UK)
to work for
...a busy, Tatty, Mommy, working girl or boy, Bubby or Zaidy
In 4 specific ways:
1
MEMORABLE
MEMORABLE
Trailblazing teaching
Rabbi Saberski's ground-breaking method of building out the full structure of the halacha from...
→ the foundational rules
→ right up to the practical application,
...means that you (yes, even with Mommy brain!) remember.
It's NOT a random sampling of common scenarios that you have remember how to act in each one.
It's a crystal-clear concise structure where everything slots into place and makes perfect sense.
Had the confidence to decide what to do
“I would definitely say that I had the confidence to decide the halacha for myself.
Rabbi Saberski discusses cases that come up in every Jewish household, if not every week, then every month. You can decide for yourself based on what you heard at the shiur.”
— Chezky Royde, Real Estate
Fundamentals first
“You really get the confidence to apply the halacha yourself, and not to ask a million shailos.
Rabbi Saberski told us the fundamentals first so we can make the right choices based on the rules he gave us.”
— Miriam Lieberman, wife & mother

VISUAL
Absorbing slideshow
It's much harder to get distracted when interesting pictures and headlines are flying on to the screen!
The slides make the shiur:
→ super-clear and
→ supercharge your retention.
Focused, Great Visuals
I found Rabbi Saberski’s Pesach masterclass very useful.
An approachable overview, it was very focused on giving over what is relevant to most people, and didn’t get sidetracked.
The delivery was enhanced by nice visuals to keep you engaged.
The result: I was less stressed, since I was more confident that I was doing the right thing.

Not a full hour
“25 minutes really appealed to me - it's not a full hour. You know precisely how long you are going to be there for.”
— Miriam Lieberman, wife & mother
Long enough but not too long
"A good length - long enough to cover enough material, but not too long that you get bored and frustrated.”
— Chezky Royde, Real Estate

There are some great sefarim on halachos of Brachos.📚
There are some great sefarim on halachos of Brachos.📚
I don't need a course.
I don't need a course.
If that's you - you are so right! There are beautiful, illustrated sefarim on the halachos of brachos.
We wondered that too. So we got the facts from someone who did learn from a sefer:
"I learned a sefer on [Hilchos Brachos] but it was really hard for me to retain all of the information.
I know now what is a shailah more than before but I have questions very often."
✅We find that sefarim are most helpful for looking something up.
❎ But it's rare to find the Sefer that will give you the confidence to actually apply all the halachos to your day-to-day life. You know, when the example in the sefer doesn't fit your question exactly... and you're just not sure...
Rabbi Saberski designed Brachos Bootcamp to give you
all the carefully constructed fundamentals you need
to instill you with the confidence
to actually act on your knowledge.
(or know that you must ask a shaila)
This costs? I never paid for a shiur before.
This costs? I never paid for a shiur before.
What’s wrong with:
> Torah Anytime?
> Local Shiurim?
(Unspoken: Why pay for a course when you can do just as well for free?!)
It's a fact: 99.99% of Halacha Shiurim today do not cost at all.
What are you getting here that is different?

I'm just. too. busy!
There is no doubt about it.
Thoroughly mastering a set of Halachos, especially a detailed one like halachos of Brachos takes time.
But until they invent that magic 💊, it's just unavoidable:
Brushing up on Halacha is always going to include some kind of time investment.
> 25 minutes, once a week...
> designed to help you remember long term,
...is probably the most time-efficient you can get it.
If you know that you want it…
There’s nothing like having a SOLID PLAN to make it happen.
Mastering halacha just doesn't get quicker or easier!
Of course, if you're going through a particularly stressful time that'll end in a bunch of weeks - that's different.
Enroll in the course now anyway - so you know you have it in your pocket, and watch the recordings at your own pace.
Rabbi Saberski is so happy to answer your questions, whenever they pop up, by email!

So was Mrs Yocheved Broyde, before she took the Borer course. This is what she told us:
"I very much enjoyed Rabbi Saberski's Borer workshops because:
> They were clear and easy to follow. The build-up was logical and the breakdown was in bite-sized pieces - easy to digest.
> Even though I learned Hilchos Borer REALLY WELL in Seminary, he still enlightened me on some points that I hadn't completely understood the first time and also taught me some completely new ideas."

Janet says...
"I would say my knowledge of Kashrus was “appropriate” before taking the course. But I wanted to refresh so I would have better understanding of the answers my Rav gives to my questions.
I liked the succinct 25 minute sessions. I was surprised at how much I could gain in such a short time! The course was fabulous and understandable all around and I especially appreciated the graphics.
The option given to ask shailos via email was great! I made good use of it.
My understanding of the rationale behind the halachos of kashrus is much improved. I now understand the shaila-answering process much better.
This course exceeded my expectations. Thanks for this opportunity!"

Tremendous Investment
“I never paid for a shiur before. But now that I look back, I can see that it has been a tremendous investment.
For the small price that it is, the clarity that I've got in various areas of halocha has been invaluable.”
— Rabbi Moshe Dresdner, S'gan Menahel
Worth the money!
“The price is definitely fair for what it is. Once you've done it, you realize just how it's worth the money!”
— Leah Green, wife & mother
Worried that you won’t learn anything new?
