What is the Talmud?

1. http://www.acs.ucalgary.ca/~elsegal/TalmudPage.html
   http://www.acs.ucalgary.ca/~elsegal/TalmudMap/Samples.html
   Meet the Babylonian Talmud
   Segal, who teaches Jewish history and Talmud at the University of Calgary, shows a typical page of the Talmud in which one form of text wraps around another, written in different scripts:

   Each paragraph of the main text of the Talmud contains references to the Bible and to rabbinic interpretations of the law; the framing commentary, which also appears on each page, contains references to legal codes, related citations and conflicting opinions. For people with frame browsers, he provides interlinked Samples of Talmudic Sources - really neat.

   Another short article by Segal, http://www.acs.ucalgary.ca/~elsegal/Shokel/890419_Siyyum.html discusses the value of Dafyomi study.

Concise flow charts, based on the same system, are then used to summarize the Daf. Samples of their work on Dafim recently learned in the Dafyomi program are available at their site. They offer CD's on the entire Shas for 590 NIS, or single Masechtos for less, from their sales page or via email to learn@gemaraberura.com or by phone at 972 2 653-7440.

Talmud and Dafyomi databases & free texts

1. http://www.simtel.net/pub/dl/55883.html
   MTR Download site
   MTR is a Win95-compliant DOS freeware program that is simply amazing. It contains the full text of Mishneh Torah of Rambam, Torah Nevi'im and Kesuvim (both actual spelling and "Kesiv Malei"), Targum Onkelos on the Chumash, Mishnah, Tosefta, Yerushalmi, and Bavli. Full details can be found in the mtrinfo.txt file on the Simtel site listed above. As of today (Tamuz 5759) they're up to version "e", but this will change soon since the program is updated twice yearly.

   They are using Yemenite manuscripts of Rambam and are doing their best to correct errors that have crept into the texts of Mishneh Torah and Shas...so much so that there are far fewer errors in this program than there are in the expensive CD-ROM packages commercially available. It comes with either Hebrew or English interfaces, it's compact, fast, searchable, Windows clipboard compliant and configurable.

   You can download the entire collection in compressed form from the site listed above or the msdos/torah/ directory of any other Simtel site (there are over 80 Simtel mirror sites). Fully expanded, the files use approximately 28M of harddisk space.

Other indexes to Talmud and Dafyomi websites

There are a number of other sites that list links to Dafyomi websites but do not themselves contain information relating to Dafyomi study. In general, the links on these lists (and much more) can be found on our list, which preceded the others. Nevertheless, we include a list of such sites in case a new link appears in one of them before it makes it to our list.

Besides the major Jewish search engines (such as www.maven.co.il), you can find Dafyomi links at:

• www.hareshima.co.il -- a broad selection of Jewish links than includes a section dedicated to Dafyomi related links.
• www.dafyomi.com -- a limited collection of Dafyomi related links.
• www.cdtorah.com/links/torah.html -- CDTorah's large collection of Torah related links; includes a "shiurim" links section.
