Off the Daf: A Talmud Book Club

Join My Jewish Learning for a unique book club with a Talmud twist!

Whether you study Talmud regularly or are new to it, this book club is great on its own or as a supplement to Daf Yomi study. Every other month, we will feature fiction and non-fiction selections with a Talmud theme. Sometimes the author will join us in conversation! 

Sign up here to join the club to receive emails for each new book we’ll be reading as well as Zoom links to join the discussions.

The next Off the Daf selection is “If All the Seas Were Ink“ and will be joined by the author, Ilana Kurshan, on Monday, January 5 at 2:00 p.m. ET. Register to be part of the conversation.

See what you’ve missed! Watch past discussions here.
