A guided approach to a deeper understanding of the Gemara and its commentaries

Derech B’Yam HaTalmud is a new guided program to aid the teaching and learning of Gemara b’iyun. It is geared for community kollelim, outreach organizations and yeshivos to help them teach the Talmud and Meforshim in-depth. It is also intended for ba’alei batim and others looking for a serious b’iyun seder..

They are written in clear English with Hebrew words throughout. They summarize the shakla v’tarya and explanations and analysis of major points in the Gemara and commentaries. Lists of ma’areh mekomos with summaries, along with questions to encourage independent learning, are provided at the beginning of each section. Additional questions are sprinkled throughout the notes.

The Derech B’Yam HaTalmud materials are being prepared on several perakim of Gemara throughout Shas. This initial program covers the first perek of Mesechtas Gittin.

The notes were produced as part of a shiur b’iyun given in the Yeshivas HaGra morning learning program in Ramat Beit Shemesh Aleph, Eretz Yisrael, under the auspices of Rabbi Elimelech Kornfeld, shlita.

To sign up to the distribution list to receive further material from the first perek or future mesechtos, email derechbyam@gmail.com or contact Pesach Minkin at +1 (732) 261-3666 (Phone/WhatsApp).

Please contact us for ideas of how the materials can be used and customized for particular audiences and groups.
