A record 40,000 participants from more than 130 countries have participated in Daf Yomi through All Daf, the Orthodox Union’s (OU) innovative free digital app that has made Gemara learning accessible to every Jew whenever it is convenient for them to learn. The international learning program finished the masechta of Eruvin this week.
The app’s shiurim have been accessed by Jews in more than 130 countries on six continents. Daf learners in countries such as Argentina, Australia, Bahrain, Canada, Chile, France, Gibraltar, Jordan, Kuwait, Iceland, Iran, Israel, Mexico, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sudan, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom and the United States are all using the app to learn the daily daf portion.
On Monday, Nov. 23, participants started the masechta of Pesachim and those learning daily with the Daf Yomi cycle will finish it on Mar. 22, just five days prior to the start of Pesach.
In order to excite more Daf Yomi learners, All Daf has launched a “Pesachim for Pesach” campaign which includes raffles and prizes. Individuals who commit to learning the masechta and finishing it by Monday, April 12, 2020 are eligible to enter into a raffle with a grand prize of a trip for two to California and a tour of Herzog’s winery, along with VIP reservations at the Tierra Sur restaurant at the Herzog Wine Cellars. Other prizes include gift cards and swag. For more information or to register, please visit: https://alldaf.org/pesachim.
Beyond offering shiurim on the daily daf, All Daf offers participants of all backgrounds the opportunity to enhance their learning with a host of related topics including Jewish history, lomdus, Tanach and other sources and resources. Daily shiurim on the daf are offered by maggidei shiur such as Rabbi Moshe Elefant, Rabbi Shalom Rosner, Rabbi Sruly Bornstein, Rabbi Eli Mansour, Rabbi Shlomie Schwartzberg, and Rabbi Eli Stefansky.
“It is so gratifying to see how many people are participating not only in the shiurim, but all the vast resources on the app to complement their learning,” said Daf Yomi Initiative Director Rabbi Moshe Schwed. “The platform was created to offer numerous learning options so that people at every level would be comfortable joining us.”
