A weekly-daf Gemara series
Daf Hashavua with Rabbi Daniel Glatstein is a Gemara shiur series organized around the daf of the week — daf hashavua means "the page of the week." It is a series, delivered by Rabbi Daniel Glatstein, a prominent contemporary maggid shiur, rather than a single stand-alone lecture. The collection gathers about thirty of these weekly-daf classes for steady, ongoing study.
A weekly rhythm makes Gemara learning sustainable. Rather than the daily pace of Daf Yomi, a page a week gives a busy learner time to sit with the sugya, and a series built on that schedule fits the way many people can realistically keep a Gemara seder. Rabbi Glatstein's clear presentation is what carries the text week to week.
Learning Gemara with a guide
Gemara is hard to enter alone, and a recorded maggid shiur functions as a guide through the page — laying out the question, the argument, and the resolution so a learner is not left to untangle the text unaided. Rabbi Glatstein is widely valued for exactly this: making a sugya's logic visible. Following his weekly-daf classes gives structure to what can otherwise feel overwhelming.
The recorded form suits Gemara especially well. A dense line can be replayed until it parses, a step reviewed before moving on, and a whole daf revisited when it comes around again in learning. Where a live shiur passes once, these thirty recordings can be worked through as slowly as the text demands, which is often exactly what Gemara requires.
A steady Gemara seder at home
A weekly-daf series lets a household hold a real Gemara seder without the pressure of a daily cycle. One page a week is a commitment a family can keep, and a recorded series means the shiur is ready whenever the set time arrives — no need to match a live schedule or catch up after a missed class.
Following the same daf together also builds something shared. A parent and child learning the week's page from the same shiur can review it side by side and talk it through, turning Gemara from a solo task into a joint one. Rabbi Glatstein's clarity keeps the text within reach, and the recordings stay available to repeat as often as the learning needs.
