Now including more than 1600 shiurim, Daf Yomi for Women is the first and only podcast featuring a daily talmud class taught by a woman.
Each morning, a 45-minute daf yomi class is delivered by Michelle Cohen Farber in Ra’anana, Israel and then immediately posted as a podcast episode. Additionally, worksheets that organize the daf and help facilitate understanding can be found on the website dafyomi4women.org, or can be viewed on a mobile device directly from the podcast. Daf Yomi for Women reaches women who can now have access to a woman’s perspective on the most essential Jewish traditional text. Daf Yomi for Women represents a revolutionary step in advancing women’s Torah study around the globe.
Daf yomi is a system of learning that began in 1923 (initiated by Rabbi Meir Shapiro in Lublin) to learning a page (daf) of Talmud each day in order to complete the entire 2,711 pages of the Talmud in seven and a half years. Each daf is crammed with lots of information – sometimes a daf has ten different topics and sometimes one topic can be analyzed in great detail, spanning many pages.
Michelle Cohen Farber is a graduate of Midreshet Lindenbaum’s scholars program with a BA in Talmud and Tanach from Bar Ilan University. Michelle has taught Talmud and Halacha at Midreshet Lindenbaum, Pelech high school and MATAN. She lives in Ra’anana with her husband and their five children.
