Process
With 2,711 pages in the Talmud, one Daf Yomi cycle takes about 7 years, 5 months. Daf Yomi can be studied alone, with a chavruta (study partner), in a daily shiur (class) led by a rabbi or teacher, via a telephone shiur, CD-ROM, or audio and online resources. Typically, Daf Yomi shiurim are held in synagogues, yeshivas, and offices. They also take place in the United States Senate, Wall Street board rooms, and on the Long Island Rail Road, in the last car of two commuter trains departing Far Rockaway at 7:51 a.m. and 8:15 a.m., respectively, for Manhattan. Daf Yomi shiurim are piped into the in-flight sound system of all El Al flights and can be heard on Radio Kol Chai. A typical Daf Yomi shiur lasts one hour. Participants study the text together with the commentary of Rashi.
