Talking Tachlis Podcast

In a few months, we will be celebrating the completion of the Daf Yomi, a seven-and-a-half-year cycle of learning the entirety of the 2,711 pages of the Babylonian Talmud. Last time, the largest gathering for the celebration took place at MetLife Stadium in NJ, where a sellout crowd of 90,000+ came to listen to speeches, sing, dance, and celebrate this huge milestone. This week, Uri and Rivky discuss a few videos that have been created and promoted by Agudat Israel, the organization that creates this mega event. The first shows a few of the men who are completing the Talmud, and speaks to how highly they value their wives' contribution to their learning. The second is a video of Rebbetzin Aviva Feiner, called A Woman’s Relationship to Limud HaTorah. These videos make us ask, how should men and women relate to Torah learning? And what is the appropriate reaction to feeling uncomfortable with the way others are choosing to live? And, what do we think of the daf yomi in general? Related links: Men talking a
