Editing Smicha (section)

== Semicha for Dayanut ==
During a farbrengen on Simchas Torah 1976, the Rebbe extensively explained the necessity of receiving Semicha for Hora'ah (rabbinical ordination), and added that after receiving it, one should continue studying to receive Semicha for Dayanut (qualification to serve as a rabbinic judge):

In our generation, this orphaned generation, the situation is such that when one wants to ask a shaila (halachic question), they need to search for a Rav who might be located several miles away. Even when they find him, they must be careful not to come during his rest time, and not when he is engaged in studying one masechta (tractate), since when he is involved in one masechta, it is impossible to ask him about another masechta. Therefore, blessings should come upon those who have already achieved "Yoreh Yoreh" (basic rabbinic ordination), and they should have "l'afsha la" (to increase it) - to add to this approach and take upon themselves to complete "Yadin Yadin" (judicial ordination) by next year.

When they will study "Yadin Yadin", not only will this aspect itself be added, but through this, the "Yoreh Yoreh" will be with completely different depth and breadth, similar to the learning approach of the Rogatchover, who in every matter, starting from Chumash or Aggada and especially in the halachic portion of Torah, would explain the general point in the entire Torah...

Therefore, it is proper, and hopefully this suggestion will be accepted [there is no need to say the source of the suggestion; let someone else say it and present it as their suggestion, as long as it is accepted], that they should choose yungeleit from the Kollelim and bochurim from the Yeshivos. Those for whom "fear of Heaven is their treasure," and who study in a way of "bringing theoretical study to practical halacha," and since they are yerei shamayim (God-fearing), even when a deep sevara (logical reasoning) comes to their mind - nevertheless they will rule in practice according to what is written in Shulchan Aruch.
