Rabbi Ezra Sarna on the Mishnah

Rabbi Ezra Sarna teaches the Mishnah, working through its texts with attention to structure, language, and practical meaning.

A Mishnah series

This collection of thirty classes is centered on the Mishnah — the foundational compilation of the Oral Law, redacted by Rebbi, Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi. The Mishnah is where so much of Torah study begins, and a dedicated series makes it a clear and inviting place to start.

Focusing on Mishnah before the fuller give-and-take of the Gemara gives a learner solid footing. You come to know the base text first — its statements, its disputes, its structure — which pays off in everything that comes after.

How the Mishnah is taught

The learning pays close attention to the things that reward it: the precise wording of the Mishnah, the shape of the perek, and the halacha that emerges from a given case. The Mishnah is terse, and reading it carefully is a skill this kind of series is built to develop.

Where it fits, the classes also connect a Mishnah forward — showing how the Gemara and later poskim take up and develop what the Mishnah first states. That link helps a learner see the Mishnah as the living root of the halachic conversation.

Who it's for

The series suits learners building a foundation, as well as anyone who wants a steady Mishnah seder to keep — a manageable, ongoing commitment rather than a single daunting text.

It is also a natural fit for parents learning alongside school-age children who are studying Mishnayos, giving a home a shared text to open together and grow in over time.
