@ruti welcome! happy to have you here and 😍 congrats on the work you've surely done and all you've accomplished on the path to the mikveh. i'm already excited for ya!

i know what daf yomi is (and also listen to a daf yomi podcast), but can you tell me what is daf yomi 2027 :blobcatupsidedown: ?

@em iirc it's when the next cycle for daf yomi starts! if i started now it'd be in the middle, but it being two years out means i have time to read the entire tanakh first so i can understand what all the rabbis are talking about,

@ruti ah, interesting! I haven't ever listened or read trying to imagine what it'd be like if I weren't familiar with the tanakh, but I think a lot of the content is very vaguely related to the tanakh itself. I usually call it a philosophy/law podcast when I describe it to people without wanting to explain more deeply.

Tipp. It's easier to start with a new tractate. But by now we are in the middke of tractate Sanhedrin. But I'm Not sure, whether just Weeks before Passover is a good time. My Jewish learning has a Daf yomi Newsletter and a weekly Daf yomi zoom group.
