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.

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Rabbanit Michelle Farber is a masterful teacher and makes everything super clear and accessible to all.

Feldey · Dec 2024

Really appreciate Rabbanit Farber for taking the time to lead us through the daf. I really enjoy her method of teaching.

THDpr · Dec 2020

A wonderful, knowledgeable, interesting daily dose of Talmud given by a brilliant woman who changes the way women view Judaism. She provides insight into why we do what we do connecting us even more to what it means to be a Jew. We are privileged to have Rabbanit Farber in our generation! I would highly recommend this pod cast to beginners and the experienced Talmud students alike!

Jo'smom · Apr 2020

The Rabbanit is a wonderful teacher because she doesn’t assume that listeners are coming to the subject matter with a background in Talmud. Sometimes, it’s hard to follow her because she takes questions/comments from her live classroom and since you can’t hear the questions or comments, you might feel like you’re missing out on something.
