The finish line you can see
Chullin runs 141 dafim, and the cycle is holding at 96 today — which means its siyum is no longer an abstraction. There is a particular power in seeing a masechta's end from where you stand: the dafim stop being an endless road and become a countable walk.
If you have been meaning to join the daf, this stretch — the tail of a masechta, with a siyum ahead — is the classic on-ramp.
What Bechoros brings
Next comes Bechoros: the laws of firstborn animals and firstborn sons, pidyon haben, and how blemishes are judged. It is a different world from Chullin's kitchen — more Beis-Hamikdash-facing, full of sugyos most learners meet for the first time. That newness is its own pleasure: nobody in the shiur is coasting.
The Bechoros shelf already stands at filteredtube.com/gemara/bechoros, filling as maggidei shiur reach it — and from the first daf, its rooms work like Chullin's: the page, the text, the shiurim, the questions.
Meanwhile, today's daf
The road ahead is walked one daf at a time, and today's is waiting:

Key takeaways
- Chullin's siyum is close enough to plan for — and a siyum planned for is a siyum reached.
- Bechoros, Arachin, Temurah, Kerisos, Meilah and Tamid complete Kodashim before Niddah ends the cycle.
- Every coming masechta's shelf is already standing, filling daf by daf as the world arrives.
