The Talmud is an encyclopedia of the collected wisdom of the Jewish people. It began as the Mishnah a commentary on the Torah., but in the wake of the diaspora, it became a collection of everything Jewish, from law and scripture, to tradition and ritual. This study raises 2,711 questions, following the Daf Yomi, which is a routine of reading one page per day for the 2,711 pages of the Babylonian Talmud, thereby completing the entire Talmud in seven and a half years.
