--  Midrashiya Daf Hayomi of Petach Tikva

The Midrashiya, headed by Rabbi Aron Schwab, is a training ground for yungeleit who learn the Daf "biyun", and then give over 30 daf yomi shiurim daily throughout the municipitality of Petach Tikva. The daf sent out is the summary of the different chiddushim and heoros that the yungeleit will stress during the shiur. Free email subscriptions are available at midrashiya@eagleintl.com
b) English Daily Daf review is another unique and innovative project of the Midrashiya Daf Hayomi of Petach Tikva that allows anyone who is interested in gaining a basic knowledge of the daily daf to read ten highlights of the gemarah with a commentary. This presentation is written in a manner that does not require familiarity with the inner workings of the gemorah. Each presentation also contains a short insight that offers an ethical teaching based on the daily daf. Free email subscriptions are available at midrashiya@eagleintl.com
