		The Talmud lists three classes of semicha issued (Sanhedrin 5a):Yoreh Yoreh:The recipient of this semicha demonstrated sufficient education and proper judgement to be able to render halakhic judgements on matters of religious law as it pertained to daily life such as kashrut, nidda, and permissible or forbidden activities on Shabbos or Yom Tov.
		Yadin Yadin:The recipient of this semicha demonstrated sufficient education and proper judgement to be able to render halakhic judgements on matters of religious law as it pertained to monetary and property disputes.
		Berab then conferred semicha through a laying on of hands to four rabbis, including Joseph Caro, who was later to become the author of the Shulchan Arukh, widely viewed as the most important code of Jewish law from the 1600s onwards.

		In Judaism, Semicha is the transmission of rabbinic authority in the form of an authorization togive advice or judgment in Jewish law.
		This form of semicha was abolished after the destruction of the second Temple in Jerusalem in 70 CE.

		The governments of the kingdoms of Israel and the Judah were based on a system of Jewish kings, prophets, the legal authority of the court of the Sanhedrin and the ritual authority of priesthood.
		Members of the Sanhedrin all had to have awarded their semicha ("ordination" derived in an uninterrupted line of transmission from Moses) yet they were more frequently referred to as judges (dayanim) akin to the Shoftim or "Judges" as in the Book of Judges, rather than rabbis.
		There are reports that a small number of Orthodox yeshivas have unofficially granted semicha to women, but the prevailing consensus among Orthodox leaders and a small number of Conservative communities is that it is not appropriate for women to become rabbis.

		Semicha, the roots of which were forged at the dawning of the Jewish people, entails bestowing rabbinical authority upon a disciple to be qualified to judge the people in all areas of Torah law, and to guide the people accordingly.
		The first to be awarded semicha was Yehoshua, of whom it is recorded, "the Lord said to Moses: Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom resides the spirit of the Lord, and lay (ve-samachta) your hands upon him…that all the congregation of the children of Israel may hearken" [Num.
		Beginning with Yehoshua, semicha passed from man to man and from generation to generation, for only he who had been ordained with semicha could also ordain others with semicha.

	Rabbi Jacob Berab - Early Achronim
		The subject of "Semicha" is not to be confused with today's "Semicha" where a Rabbi or a Yeshiva gives "Semicha" to a Talmudic student in order to ordain him as a Rabbi.
		Today's "Semicha" is only an "echo" of the original "Semichas Chachomim" that goes back to Moshe Rebbenu, when he gave "Semicha" to the 70 Elders and to Joshua the son of Nun.
		"Semicha" means "Leaning", because it was the custom to lay the hands on the head of the one being ordained, and so handing over, so to speak, the power possessed by the ordainer to become a member of the Sanhedrin or Court.

		The Renewal of Semicha / Harav Yedidya Kahane
		After all, such semicha requires an unbroken chain from Moshe Rabbeinu, and this chain was broken some 1600 years ago.
		Basically, semicha can only be given by one who himself has semicha, as the Rambam writes (Sanhedrin 4:1).

	Semicha
		Since the abolishment of the classical semicha Rabbis have traditionally transmitted authority to render on Halacha (Jewish law) in a ceremony also Semicha.
		In the 16th century Rabbi Yaakov bei Rav from Safed attempted to reinstitute the classical semicha so that Marraros (conversos) who felt they deserved punishment for to be Christians under the inquisition could indeed receive lashes.
		Although presently most functioning rabbis hold semicha this was until quite recently not The Chafetz Chayim (Rabbi Yisrael Meir Kagan) did not hold semicha until he had to apply for passport and realized that unless he applied semicha he could not enter Rabbi as an occupation without lying.

		There is no formal requirement to have semicha in order to be called "rabbi" by one's students; it is not a title that one gives to oneself.

		Some religious leaders such as Hasidic rebbes and Talmudic rosh yeshivas may not even have a formal semicha ("ordination") and may have arrived at their positions by lineage or by being acknowledged for their great knowledge and insights into Talmud and Halakha and other areas of traditional Torah scholarship.
		Within the non-Orthodox organizations, including the Reform, Reconstructionist, and Conservative movements, women are routinely granted semicha on an equal basis with men beginning with Sally Priesand who was ordained in the Reform movement in 1972.
		The curriculum for obtaining semicha ("ordination") as rabbis for Haredi and Hasidic scholars is the same as described above for all Orthodox students wishing to obtain the official title of "Rabbi" and to be recognized as such.

	Rabbi Yaakov Beirav's attempt to re-establish a Sanhedrin in 1538
		First, that the re-establishment semicha is not interfering with the process of redemption, rather it is simply the fulfillment of a positive mitzvah.
		The Mahralbach also hinted that Rabbi Yakov Beirav was not worthy to transmit semicha for neglecting the scholars of Jerusalem, albeit the greater level of learning in Safed at the time.
		The semicha had been represented to the Turkish authorities as the first step toward the restoration of the Jewish state.

		This semicha authorized the recipient to rule on capital and corporal cases (chayavei misas beis din and malkus) and to judge kenasos, penalties that the Torah invoked.
		Semicha that was granted to someone who is not an expert in all areas of halacha is not valid (Meiri, Sanhedrin 14a).
		The Radvaz rules like the Maharalbach that the semicha was invalid, believing that the Rambam himself was not certain that this is a definitive ruling, and furthermore, universal acceptance of the semicha would be necessary even according to the Rambam’s approach.
