Rabbi Yitzchak Breitowitz teaches in long series: classes of about forty minutes to an hour that take one sefer and follow it, part after part. The longest of them is Tomer Devorah, whose parts run past the eightieth - from "Remak's Sefiros" and "Ki Chafetz Chesed Hu" to "Complexities of Mechilah", "An Iron Dome for Aveiros" and "Bringing Peace and Ending the Fifth Chapter".

Beside it stand his classes on the Rambam - the Shemoneh Perakim (the eighth perek, on bechira, in parts), the Introduction to Perek Chelek of Sanhedrin ("The Lashon of Aggados"), the Rambam's letters on Olam Haba, and the Rambam and minhagei tefillah - and on Even Shelaima, chapter by chapter ("Waging War Against the Evil Inclination", "Using the Yetzer Hara for Good", "Jobs and Learning", "Creating One's Olam Haba"). He gave Megillas Ruth in parts, a series on free will in seven parts, and an introduction to Tanach and the history of how it was canonized.

In Nach he goes through Sefer Yehoshua in numbered classes - the spies, the siege of Jericho, Yehoshua stopping the sun, the conquest of Givon and of Hebron, the downfall of Achan, the division of the land among the tribes and the daughters of Tzelofchad - then Sefer Shoftim (Osniel ben Knaz, Pesel Micha, Pilegesh b'Givah) and the final vision of Sefer Daniel.

His questions and answers range across what people ask him: the Temple Mount, a convert's soul, the Messiah and the World to Come, artificial intelligence, the power of Tehillim, whether to follow the Rambam's medical advice. Through the year he gives the weekly parsha and the Yamim Tovim - Elul and the Selichos, the Yom Kippur Avodah, Sukkos, the history of Chanukah in parts, Purim, the Haggadah, the Omer and Lag BaOmer, Shavuos, the Three Weeks and Tisha B'Av, Tu B'Av and a Tu B'Shvat seder - along with hespedim and yahrzeit talks (Rav Meir Simcha HaKohen and Rav Kook). Each shiur opens on its own page, with no ads and no comments around it.
