One amud a day
Amud HaYomi is a daily Gemara program built on a simple idea: learn one amud — one side of the page — each day, rather than the full daf. That measured pace lets learners work through Shas thoroughly, with time to actually absorb each amud instead of racing to keep up. It is a cycle designed for retention as much as coverage.
This collection gathers 30 recorded shiurim that follow the Amud HaYomi cycle, delivered by Rabbi Dovid Hofstedter. For anyone drawn to daily Gemara but wary of the speed of a full-daf program, the half-page rhythm offers a more sustainable on-ramp into consistent, lifelong learning.
Rabbi Dovid Hofstedter and Dirshu
Rabbi Dovid Hofstedter is the founder and nasi of Dirshu, a worldwide Torah organization known for structured, accountability-based learning — programs that pair study with review and testing so that knowledge is retained, not just passed through. Under his leadership, Dirshu has shaped the daily learning of tens of thousands of Jews around the globe.
Amud HaYomi is one of the programs advanced through that framework, and having its shiurim given by the man behind the initiative gives this series a distinctive weight. It connects a learner not just to a daily page, but to a large, organized worldwide effort to strengthen limud haTorah.
Following along
A paced, daily cycle is one of the most reliable ways to build lasting Torah knowledge. Because each day's portion is manageable, the commitment feels doable, and the daily return keeps momentum alive across weeks, months, and years — the slow, steady accumulation that eventually completes masechtos and sedarim.
Recorded shiurim make keeping that pace realistic. If you miss a day you can catch up; if a sugya is dense you can watch it again. The 30 classes here let a learner plug into the Amud HaYomi rhythm and stay with it on their own schedule.
