Chullin in English: Where an English-Speaking Learner Starts

Clear English shiurim on Masechta Chullin for every level — from a first daf ever to a fast daily shiur — all approved, all in one place.

You do not need perfect Aramaic to start

Every daf learner started somewhere, and most started nervous about the language. The maggidei shiur on this shelf read the Gemara inside, translate as they go, and carry you through the shakla v'tarya so the Aramaic becomes familiar by riding along, not by studying grammar first.

On Chullin the English-speaking learner has real choice — Rabbi Eli Stefansky (322 shiurim), Mercaz Daf Yomi by R' Eli Stefansky (85 shiurim), Rabbi Oster Gemara Shiur (83 shiurim), Rabbi David Elmaleh (81 shiurim), Daf Yomi with Rabbi Phil Karesh (33 shiurim), Rabbi Shmuel Silber (26 shiurim) — different accents, different paces, one standard.

Start here

A good first move: open today's daf and listen to how two different maggidei shiur handle the same Gemara. These cards land you inside the Daf Room:

Daf Yomi Chullin Daf 81 by R' Eli StefanskyRabbi Eli Stefansky · 49:25Daf Yomi Chullin Daf 89 by R' Eli StefanskyMercaz Daf Yomi by R' Eli Stefansky · 1:04:11Chullin 77Rabbi Oster Gemara Shiur · 38:32Masechet Chullin Daf Yomi - Daf 49Rabbi David Elmaleh · 15:10

Stuck? Ask on the line itself

When a line loses you, tap it and ask — in your own words, in English. The room answers by pointing you to the moment a maggid shiur explains that very point, in his own voice. No embarrassment, no waiting for after seder.

Join mid-masechta with a clear conscience

The cycle is holding at Chullin 96 today. Join there. The dafim you missed are all on the shelf at lehallel.com/gemara/chullin whenever you want them — but the life is in learning today's daf with the world.
