Daf HaChaim

How many times have we sat down to listen to a shiur or even to learn on our own, only to feel lost after a short time because we lacked some background information, or simply could not figure out what was being said and the direction in which the gemora taking us. In the Introduction to the Daf, the maggid shiur gives us a concise outline of all the important concepts the gemora will be discussing. In addition, we also see his words come alive, as they are animated and illustrated on the screen alongside him.

For our initial English language shiurim we are fortunate to have one of the truly rising stars in the Yeshiva/Chinuch world, Rabbi Shlomie Schwartzberg. He is a highly respected member of the Lakewood community, and a much sought after lecturer for various Yeshivos, Bais Yaakovs, and kiruv organizations. He has dedicated himself to giving a well prepared, clear and organized shiur on the daf. His Torah knowledge and warm personality come through in each of the three elements of the Daf Hachaim program.

All shiurim are recorded in a professional recording studio to ensure a clear and crisp presentation.

No matter how well a shiur was presented and how well we were able to stay focused, a review of the daf is critical. Review not only help us remember, it also enhances our understanding as well. However, reviewing can be difficult, especially after we've closed the gemora and moved on to our daily routine.

The Daf Review is designed to change all that. The maggid shiur presents a well thought out, concise, "concept centered" review, along with animated charts, illustrations and photos. The Review section is an essential component of our learning. The incredible gift of a comprehensive review in just 5 minutes will also inject a heightened level of enthusiasm for reviewing the Daf as well. Learners can easily grab any five minutes of free time during the day to review the Daf over and over again — inscribing the Daf visually and conceptually in our minds.
