Dear Rabbi Avraham Rinat, shlita!
I would like to thank you on behalf of all the members of our kollel for the incredible shiur and tour you gave us last week in Beit Meir. 🙏
You got all of us excited about Eruvin and helped us appreciate the subject, thanks to your tremendous knowledge and expertise, the calmness and clarity of your presentation, and above all, your sincere desire to act l’Shem Shamayim, raise public awareness of the importance of eruvin, and help more and more communities have a kosher — and even mehudar — eruv. ✅
Everyone who attended the shiur and tour came away enriched, impressed, and with plenty to think about — both those who had never studied the subject and, all the more so, those who had. 🏕️
I wish you continued hatzlacha in spreading your knowledge, that you continue to see bracha in your work, and that awareness of this important — and unfortunately often neglected — subject of maintaining a proper eruv continues to grow. May you continue to increase and strengthen Torah l’Shem Shamayim! 🍀

At Yeshivat Pitchei Shearim in the Nachlaot neighborhood of Jerusalem, we began studying Hilchos Eruvin.
We definitely needed an introduction to these halachos, which are less familiar and are not generally among the sugyos studied in the yeshiva world.
A proper introduction to this fascinating subject and an understanding of the basic principles of Eruvin are extremely important.
Rabbi Avraham Rinat gave us an introductory shiur covering all the fundamental concepts needed to approach these sugyos.
It was extremely important and helpful in enabling us to delve into the sugya.
The shiur was accompanied by a very clear and fascinating visual presentation.
About six months later, after completing our study of the sugyos, we also had the opportunity to participate in a practical tour of the eruv in Beit Meir.
We all felt that what we had learned had come to life — taking our learning from theory into practice.

Rabbi Rinat is a world-renowned expert in the field of Eruvin.
The many shiurim he gives on the subject greatly expand our knowledge, teaching not only what to be careful about, but also the practical solutions available.
From establishing a new eruv to inspecting and repairing an existing one, Rabbi Rinat explains everything exceptionally well, accompanied by slides and a hands-on display of the tools used in the field.
When there is a concern of an issur d’Oraisa of carrying on Shabbos, this is not something to take lightly. It is always preferable to do things properly l’chatchila rather than rely on b’dieved solutions.
Highly recommended — not only for those with a particular interest in Eruvin, but for every Yerei Shamayim.

Dear Rabbi Rinat,
I would like to thank you on behalf of the Barkai Rabbanim for the study day they attended with you.
The day began with a shiur that presented the fundamental principles of Hilchos Eruvin clearly and thoroughly, as well as the complexity of the subject and the gaps in knowledge that often exist.
After the shiur, we went on a fascinating field tour of Moshav Beit Meir.
The Rabbanim were able to see firsthand the challenges involved in building an eruv and the creative solutions used to overcome them.
The Barkai Rabbanim learned a great deal from the study day and have also benefited greatly from your guidance regarding questions that arose in their own communities.
Yasher koach, and may you merit to continue spreading your knowledge far and wide.
