A Visionary and a Dreamer: The History of Daf Yomi Part II

from Jewish History Soundbites · host Yehuda Geberer

Commencing with his dramatic announcement in Vienna in the summer of 1923, Rav Meir Shapiro (1887-1933) dedicated vast energies to spreading the idea of the Daf Yomi program. He was a man of many talents, an innovator with boundless energy, charismatic, a fine and entertaining public speaker, an accomplished Talmudic scholar, a visionary, and most of all a relentless doer. Incredibly, his vision and action on behalf of the Daf Yomi was just one of a myriad of projects he initiated and carried out in his short life. Perhaps it was his most long lasting contribution though, and in the collective memory of the Jewish People, this is arguably his most enduring legacy.
