A daily cycle through the Jerusalem Talmud
Rabbi Yitzchok Chaim David Cohen teaches the Talmud Yerushalmi on the Daf Yomi Yerushalmi cycle, the less-traveled companion to the daily Bavli program. His shiurim march through the text page by page, for example across Masechet Berachot from daf 1a onward in successive segments, so that a learner can keep pace with the whole masechta.
Committing to the Yerushalmi daily is a serious undertaking, and the value of his catalog is precisely its consistency. Each recorded daf builds on the last, giving learners a dependable daily framework for a body of Torah that far fewer people study, and that has far fewer accessible shiurim than the Bavli.
Making a difficult text approachable
The Yerushalmi is famously terse and hard to navigate, with its own language, structure and unfamiliar sugyos. Rabbi Cohen's contribution is to guide learners steadily through those difficulties, explaining the flow of the discussion so the page becomes followable rather than forbidding.
By staying with the text daf after daf, he gives students the continuity they need to build real fluency. Rather than a single hard shiur here and there, his series offers a sustained path through the Yerushalmi, which is exactly what most learners lack when they try to take it on alone.
A resource for serious daily learning
For someone who wants to add the Yerushalmi to their daily seder, a complete and organized set of daf-by-daf shiurim is a rare find. His recordings on masechtos such as Berachos supply that structure, letting a learner join the cycle and stay in it.
The focus is squarely on the Gemara itself, its questions, its answers and its logic, rather than on broad themes. That makes his shiurim best suited to learners who want to genuinely learn the daf, and who are looking for a steady maggid shiur to keep them moving through the Jerusalem Talmud.
