YOSS holds In-House Shatnez Factory

Rabbi Avrohom  Berenstein, the Kriah specialist at YOSS, is also a certified Shatnez Checker, and currently runs the Bayswater Shatnez Laboratory.  Rabbi Rosenwasser’s 8th grade shiur at YOSS, learned about Shatnez in Chumash shiur. Recently, Rabbi Berenstein gave a hands-on, interactive shatnez presentation. It covered the halachos and practical applications of shatnez. The talmidim learned about the numerous procedures in wool and linen thread manufacturing, and garment construction. They witnessed a suit, pants, and tie,  being checked for Shatnez. They then worked in groups to dissect different threads into fibers and used microscopes to identify the various fibers, based on Rabbi Berenstein’s presentation. The Talmidim experienced the fusion of modern-day science and the practical Halacha.
