Learners around the world will begin studying Maseches Yevamos this Wednesday, 4 Sivan 5786, as part of the growing “Amud Yomi Chabad” initiative — a daily Gemara learning track based on the Chabad custom to study one amud of Gemara each day.
The new masechta begins following the completion of Seder Moed, marking a significant milestone for participants in the program.
The program was founded in the summer of 5780 to strengthen and publicize the Minhag Chabad, recorded in Sefer Haminhagim (page 21), in which the Rebbe records that Chassidim would study an amud of Gemara each day.
Maseches Yevamos, one of the major masechtos in Shas, deals primarily with the laws of yibum and chalitzah, while also exploring many important areas of Jewish family life and halachah.
Although known for its depth, many learners find Yevamos especially enjoyable because of its fascinating discussions and the satisfaction that comes from steadily working through its sugyos one amud at a time.
A major feature of the program is the daily shiur delivered by renowned Maggid Shiur Rabbi Mendel Potash shlit”a, whose exceptional ability to clarify and simplify difficult sugyos has made the learning accessible and enjoyable for many participants.
The structured format allows participants to steadily progress through Shas with a manageable daily commitment.
The learning schedule follows a five-day weekly cycle, with Sunday through Thursday dedicated to new learning, while Friday and Shabbos are reserved for review and chazarah.
In addition to the daily learning track, the program offers:
Daily shiurim in Hebrew and English
Learning resources and summaries
Weekly schedules and reminders
Assistance in organizing local shiurim
Easy online access across multiple platforms
For those considering joining, beginning a new kevius in Torah learning just before Zman Matan Torah is an especially meaningful time to start.
Organizers report growing participation from Anash and community members worldwide, with many appreciating the consistency and achrayus created by learning a fixed amud every day.
