Mishna Berura on the Dirshu cycle
Rabbi Dov Tepler is a Torah teacher whose recorded work centers on the Mishna Berura, studied along the Dirshu cycle. The Mishna Berura is the Chofetz Chaim's classic commentary on the everyday halachos of the Shulchan Aruch, and Rabbi Tepler works through it in a steady, structured way.
His broader range includes halacha generally, the holidays and Jewish thought, but the anchor is this daily-style halacha learning. Following the Dirshu framework, he covers the material in order, one manageable stretch of text at a time.
The practical halachos of davening
A striking feature of his shiurim is how practical the questions are. Working through the laws of tefillah, he takes up when the earliest time to daven Shacharis is, whether one may say "good morning" to a friend before davening, and where a person should daven while traveling.
These are exactly the questions a person runs into on an ordinary morning. By grounding the Mishna Berura in such concrete cases, he shows that halacha is not distant theory but a guide for the first decisions of the day.
Everyday cases, clear rulings
Rabbi Tepler favors relatable examples to open up a halachic discussion — whether one may check emails or have a bite to eat before davening, or shower and shave before Shacharis. Each case turns an abstract rule into a decision a person actually faces.
The result is halacha that sticks. By explaining the reasoning and landing on clear practical guidance, he helps a learner not only understand the Mishna Berura but carry its rulings into the routine of daily life.
