Test Guidelines
The VHP tests offer the opportunity for participants to consolidate and reinforce all that they have learned during the Zman. The test is not simply an exercise of regurgitating information, but rather an opportunity to finish the Zman with a mastery in the learning. This is a tremendous opportunity. The successful completion of the tests are an essential step towards obtaining Smicha. Please see the ‘Semicha Outline’ on your dashboards for a full elucidation of the Semicha requirements.
Semicha outline
There is an option to receive semicha at the conclusion of four years worth of material. In addition, lomdim who complete any entire section from either Hilchos Shabbos, Brachos or Moadim will receive a Michtav Kavod HaTorah - This letter will verify the ameilus and yediyos gained through completion of that section of halacha.
