Daf Yomi for Women - Hadran

by Michelle Cohen Farber

Hadran.org.il is the portal for Daf Yomi studies for women. Hadran.org.il is the first and only site where one can hear a daily Talmud class taught by a woman. The classes are taught in Israel by Rabbanit Michelle Cohen Farber, a graduate of Midreshet Lindenbaum's scholars program with a BA in Talmud and Tanach from Bar-Ilan University. Michelle has taught Talmud and Halacha at Midreshet Lindenbaum, Pelech high school and MATAN. She lives in Ra'anana with her husband and their five children. Each morning the daf yomi class is delivered via ZOOM and then immediately uploaded and available for podcast and download. Hadran.org.il reaches women who can now have access to a woman's perspective on the most essential Jewish traditional text. This podcast represents a revolutionary step in advancing women's Torah study around the globe.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I heard Michelle Farber speak at my synagogue in 2016. She drew me in to Gemara and it was my first exposure. I decided to try her podcast, and I’ve been listening ever since. Every day except Shabbat (and lately she has been recording those after Shabbat as well) she reviews the daily Daf in a clear, concise, easily understandable way. The few times I have listened outlets with my husband present he has also been impressed, and he has far more years, more experience, with the Gemara than l. I have listened to other Daf podcasts, and as a woman I have felt excluded. In this case, women’s issues are handled forthrightly but with sensitivity. I wish I could sit at her table as she teaches, but since I am on another continent this is the next best thing. I am very glad she has decided to continue teaching in the next cycle.
