Daf Yomi (Hebrew: דף יומי, Daf Yomi, "page of the day" or "daily folio") is a daily regimen of learning the Oral Torah and its commentaries (also known as the Gemara), in which each of the 2,711 pages of the Babylonian Talmud is covered in sequence. A daf, or blatt in Yiddish, consists of both sides of the page. Under this regimen, the entire Talmud is completed, one day at a time, in a cycle of approximately seven and a half years.
Tens of thousands of Jews worldwide study in the Daf Yomi program,[1] and over 300,000[2] participate in the Siyum HaShas, an event celebrating the culmination of the cycle of learning. The Daf Yomi program has been credited with making Talmud study accessible to Jews who are not Torah scholars,[3][4] contributing to Jewish continuity after the Holocaust,[3] and having a unifying factor among Jews.[5][6] Each day of the daily calendar, including Tisha B'Av, is included,[7] and online audio versions of lectures are available.[8]
