Mazal tov! Dov is still way ahead, he can put out a couple per day ;D.

leaving a week from today

Finished the Megilla yet?

Have a safe trip and an uplifting and shteiging year!

Tennnn....HUT!!!!

yup.
bh i finished it.

so last night they had the siyum hashas and in my city they had a gathering that was connected to the one in new york. and i have such a taavah to start daf yomi now....even willing to use help like artscroll (the hebrew one.. or mesivta...or something) but i know that in 2 weeks i the yetzer harha will have some way of watering down this fire. especially when i get to yeshiva and im busy with that schedule.
any1 have anything to say about this?

Don't you think a perek of Berachos is worth something? Why worry about not being able to do more?

Like they would say in GYE, you must focus only on doing today's Daf. That's why it's called Daf Yomi.

Hatzlacha whatever,

MT

you are right... im going to be mechazek myself to live one daf at a time..... and lso re-mechazek myself to live one moment at a time.

I was feeling the same way but Meir is right. Will give it a shot maybe

i did it today and such a geshmak from it....i started a new commitment along with thousands others in klal yisrael...learning the same daf that thouands others are i can go anywhere and find a large group of ppl learning my daf.
hmmmm kinda sounds like what r. meir shapiro said

happy tu B'av
the nesivos shalom says that this is the time to start to mechazek ourselves again in limud hatorah for the yomim tovim.
therefore i coomit myselves to taking my daf yomi commitment another day. once u do it a 2nd time it becomes that much more built into u (i couldnt think about the right way to phrase that) and will try to learn more also

Well-meant, no doubt, but still funny.

Will give what "a shot"? A daf for a day? Will give today's daf a shot? Whats the big gedillah (rhymes with megillah - did that for you HS!)?

Ella what...you may mean "give finishing shas with the daf yomi" a shot....Oh, that's the problem, and that's the "I guess" and the "shot", here. But why?

It's OK. Meir is right. Maybe the dafim you do will have some important limud for you or your neshomah in them - and that is exactly what Hashem wants you to learn now, and no more of the daf yomi at all! Maybe you will be somewhere you need to be becs you are doing the 2 weeks you end up actually only doing of it, before yeshivah, etc come by and wash it away in other limudim - and that place fulfills a big, big tafkid of yours, or of somebody else's...who knows? Ein lanu eisek b'mistaros and haniglos lanu, that's all.

Try.

And accept what happens.

And move on.

You are geshmak!!

Lots of love,

Dov

shkoych on gedillah
beautifully said (like usual)

We at the TZ headquarters didn't quite understand what you mean. Why don't you try to take the daily daf a little further, like learning tosafos etc. at least for bein hazmanim...
