The daily daf, Bavli and Yerushalmi
Rabbi Chezky Holtzberg's recorded teaching centers on the daily daf. His Daf Yomi shiurim on Maseches Shabbos — dapim 137 through 142 among them — follow the worldwide cycle of a page a day, and he also teaches the Daf Yerushalmi, the parallel daily cycle through the Talmud Yerushalmi. Together they mark him as a teacher committed to the discipline of daily Gemara in both of its great forms.
Teaching the Yerushalmi alongside the Bavli is notable, since the Yerushalmi is less commonly learned and can be harder to access. A steady daily shiur on it opens a text that many learners rarely reach, giving those who follow the Yerushalmi cycle the same kind of reliable guide that Daf Yomi learners have long depended on.
Built for the daily commitment
A daf-a-day shiur lives or dies by its consistency, and Holtzberg's corpus is built for exactly that. Each class takes the page in order and explains it, so a learner keeping the cycle has a dependable companion for every daf — the kind of steady support that makes a multi-year commitment to finishing Shas actually achievable.
This suits the learner who wants to keep pace rather than dip in and out. Because the shiurim proceed sequentially through the tractate, a listener can join and stay with the daf, building the continuity that Gemara learning depends on. It is Talmud shaped to fit into a daily routine, one page at a time.
Beyond the daf: chagim and growth
Holtzberg's teaching is not limited to the Gemara. His recorded subjects reach into the chagim and into self-improvement, giving his corpus a seasonal and practical side alongside the daily daf. This lets a listener move between rigorous Talmud and the character and holiday material that speaks more directly to everyday life.
For a family, the combination is well balanced. A parent can keep the daf — in Bavli or Yerushalmi — while the household draws on his holiday and growth shiurim through the year. One teacher spanning daily Gemara, the chagim, and personal development gives a home both the discipline of consistent learning and the warmth of Torah tied to the seasons.
