Despite yeridat hadorot - the diminution of the spiritual level of subsequent generations - it is evident that in our generation, Gemara learning has spread to wider and wider layers of the Jewish people. This tendency is due especially to R' Meir Shapiro's founding of the Daf Yomi, which today unites hundreds of thousands of Jews around a communal learning of the same Gemara page. This new learning is unique also in its rampant mobility - Gemara is learned on the bus and train to work, before and after prayers, and in short in every possible place where Jews can 'catch' another mitzva. To these working Jews, we must add the tens of thousands of devoted yungeleit of our generation, in Israel and abroad, who also 'catch,' between their regular learning periods and at every opportunity, another moment for Gemara.
On this scene now appears Oz Vehadar's twin elucidated Gemaras, the two editions of 'Mesivta,' and 'Safa Brura'. Their first task is to answer this burning need. They follow the Gemara closely with a clear and precise commentary, which prevents the reader from losing his place and losing the drift of the passage. The commentary accompanying the Gemara in both editions was compiled with utmost care by a large team of Talmidei Chachamim and under the supervision of ingenious super-editors, since it's completion required a special delicate touch: the commentary should always be as precise as possible in explaining the pshat, the straightforward sense of the Gemara, and must do this as succinctly as possible, with no spare words; at the same time, it should never serve as a substitute for the Gemara itself, but rather merely as a tool. Besides this commentary, the Mesivta edition provides in-depth interpretations for the learner who wishes to delve deeper into a particular issue. For more detail on these qualities, see the Mesivta section.
Together, Oz Vehadar's 'Mesivta' and 'Safa Brura' editions create a kind of virtual world-wide yeshiva, unbounded by time and space, for all those who use them at the same time. They do have one significant fault, however: they render null and void any possible excuse one could have had for not grabbing a Gemara and sitting down to learn.

Oz Vehadar's undertaking of the great project of re-editing the Talmud Bavli - an undertaking recently completed - undoubtedly represents one of the most positive and important revolutions in the Torah world over the past few centuries. The love of Torah - our hidden treasure - and the yearning to learn it, have always been firmly entrenched in the Jewish people, and today, thank G-d, this love is ever the more evident in the thousands of Batei-Midrash, yeshivas, Kollelim, and Jewish homes around the world. However, before the tremendous achievement of the Oz Vehadar institute, there had never been the opportunity of learning from a Talmud so precise, so clear, both user-friendly and sophisticated, allowing both a basic level of comprehension and an advanced level of in-depth study. The Gemara’s text in the Oz Vehadar Talmud Bavli has been re-edited and refined meticulously, and the same attention has been devoted to the traditional commentators on the page. All these – including the Rosh and his own commentators, the Maharsha, Maharam and Maharshal, the 2nd edition of the Maharsha, the Maharam Schiff, the new Yalkut Mefarshim, the Rif and his commentators, the Mordechai, and the Tosefta with its commentators – have been re-edited, with beginning words set in boldface, and with references and notes added. The following essays have been added to this edition that is not included in the student edition of Gemara: 1. Mishnayos (with Pirush HaRambam, Rabeinu Ovadya M'Bartenur, Tosfos Yom Tov, Tosfos Chadashim, Tosfos R' Akiva Eiger, A collection of commentaries printed in the Vilna Talmud at the end of the tractate ) 2. Tosfos HaRosh Hashalem 3. Tosfos Rabeinu Peretz Hashalem 4. Tosfos Rid 5. HaAruch Al HaShas (by Rabbi Nathan Bar Yechiel) with glosses and comments on changes in the text, etc. 6. Ayin Mishpat Hamalei - in which all the Leshonos of the Rambam and the Shulchan Aruch are mentioned in the Ayin Mishpat on the Daf
