What this collection is
This is not a single speaker page in the usual sense but a series: shiurim delivered by Rav Zev Smith and gathered under Irgun Shiurei Torah, an organization that arranges and distributes Torah classes. The "5785" marks the Jewish year the set belongs to, so the collection reflects a specific cycle of learning.
Reading it that way matters. The unifying thread is the program and its year, with Rav Zev Smith as the maggid shiur delivering it — a familiar model in which an organization builds a learning framework and a trusted teacher fills it week by week.

Rav Zev Smith as a maggid shiur
Rav Zev Smith is well known as a maggid shiur with a gift for clarity, especially in practical, applicable Torah. He has a reputation for taking material that can feel technical and laying it out so an ordinary baal habayis can follow it and retain it.
That clarity is what makes a year-long series with him workable. A program that runs across a full year needs a teacher who can keep an audience from one shiur to the next, and his straightforward, organized delivery is built for exactly that kind of sustained commitment.
Learning on a yearly cycle
A dated series like this one rewards steady participation. Because the shiurim are arranged as a set for 5785, following them in order lets a listener move through a planned arc of learning rather than picking at isolated topics.
For a family or an individual looking to commit to something with a beginning and an end, a maggid-shiur series tied to the Jewish year offers structure. You know what you are joining, you know the voice guiding it, and you can measure your progress against the calendar itself.
