- Rabbinical College of Pretoria
The Rabbinical College of Pretoria ( Hebrew "Machon L'Hora'a") is a Chabad Yeshiva in Pretoria, South Africa. It was established in 2001 under the inspiration of late Chief Rabbi Cyril Harris. The Yeshiva is headed by Rabbi Levi Wineberg, internationally known for his annotated translation of the Tanya. After successfully completing the programme, students receive semicha (ordination) from both Rabbi Wineberg and Rabbi Yaacov Warhaftig of Machon Ariel in Jerusalem. To date 98 Rabbis have been ordained at the Yeshiva. The Yeshiva is also an important component of the Pretoria Jewish community - there is daily interaction between students and congregants, and one-on-one torah study with members of the community every evening.
