Igud Yeshivos Lubavitch, the central office for Chabad yeshivos, is making a selection of articles from its Skiros (סקירות) series available for public download.

Curated from a growing library of in-depth written shiurim and articles produced for bochurim

The Skiros series, whose name means “overviews”, features thoroughly researched articles on topics spanning Gemara, halacha, Chassidus, and Jewish history.

Originally developed as internal educational material, individual pieces have been circulating informally among mechanchim, rabbonim, and laypeople, prompting the decision to make some more widely available.

Topics range from halachic surveys such as gebroks, and mechiras chometz, to historical deep dives on subjects like the printing history of the Gemara, and the origins of the Haggadah.

Each article is grounded in primary sources across Shas, Rishonim, Acharonim, and the Torah of the Rabbeim, and written in a clear, easy-to-understand style.
