While the main study is typically from an actual Gemara, this workbook supplements as a learning aid.

Relevant vocabulary words of the Aramaic language are included as a concurrent curriculum. The review sheets are masterly designed and enjoyable to complete. However, the biggest enjoyment will be the student's very own sense of accomplishment! This is the first step to mastering the entire Shas!
With a total of 32 Shiurim or lessons, this volume begins the 4th Perek of Tractate Brachos/מסכת ברכות called Tefillas Hashachar/פרק תפילת השחר and continues until Daf 27A, line 37. Volume 2 is due to print soon with another 26 shiurim continuing until the first Mishna on Daf 28B.

With beautiful graphics and bite-size pieces, the Bright Beginnings series encourage independent discovery and will empower students for life. They will cherish and celebrate every step of Gemara!

At the beginning of the twentieth century, Yiddish was widely viewed, even by many of its speakers, as a corrupt form of German that Jews had to abandon if they hoped to engage in serious intellectual, cultural, or political work. Yet, by 1917, it was the dominant language of the Russian Jewish press, a medium for modern literary criticism, a vehicle for science and learning, and the foundation of an ideology of Jewish liberation. Challenging many longstanding historical conceptions about the founding of modern Yiddish, The Revolutionary Roots of Yiddish Scholarship, 1903-1917 investigates the origins of contemporary Yiddish scholarship.
Trachtenberg reveals how, following the model set by other nationalist movements that were developing in the Russian empire, one-time revolutionaries such as the literary critic Shmuel Niger, the Marxist Zionist leader Ber Borochov, and the linguist Nokhem Shtif, dedicated themselves to the creation of a new branch of Jewish scholarship dedicated to their native language. The new Yiddish science was concerned with the tasks of standardizing Yiddish grammar, orthography, and word corpus, establishing a Yiddish literary tradition, exploring Jewish folk traditions, and creating an institutional structure to support their language's development. In doing so, the author argues, they hoped to reimagine Russian Jewry as a modern nation with a mature language and culture, and which deserved the same collective rights and autonomy that were being demanded by other nations in the empire.
