Questions & Answers

How do I start learning this masechet on the Hadran site?

Just click the “Start Now” button at the top of this page. You will be prompted to register as a Hadran user (it’s free!). After you register, you will be able to track your progress in the masechet by marking the dapim and lessons you have completed. You can also set personalized notifications to remind you to learn at set times. 

If you just want to browse through masechtot or look up specific dapim, you can do so without registering as a user.

I’ve never really learned Gemara before. Is this a good masechet for me to start with?

Since the Talmud is organized in a non-linear manner, you can start with any masechet. If you feel like you are missing background or understanding, don’t worry – that is everyone’s experience when it comes to starting Talmud study! Your understanding will grow and deepen as you go along.

In the Masechet Recommendations section on our Learn a Masechet page, you can choose the “For Beginners” tag to see our suggestions on masechet selections for those new to Gemara study. These selections typically deal with familiar topics (e.g. blessings, holidays) and/or are less complex from a logical standpoint.

If you would prefer to get some more background, context or skills before diving into a masechet on your own, you’re welcome to take a Hadran course. You can start with our “The Complete Beginner’s Guide to Gemara” series, which introduces the context and background of the Talmud – or one of our Basic Gemara Tools courses, which give you foundational Gemara skills through the process of learning a selected Talmudic text.

How in-depth should I learn a masechet?

That’s up to you! Some people will want to learn several dapim a day, whereas others can spend months on just one daf! 

Each lesson you will find here was originally prepared as a Daf Yomi class, and so it will take about 45 minutes to cover each daf. If you want to delve deeper, you can check out the Beyond the Daf resources associated with the masechet you are learning.

When can I make a siyum on a masechet?

A siyum is a celebratory gathering customarily made when one completes the study of a masechet. It usually involves recital of the special Hadran text and Kaddish, sharing of divrei Torah and a festive meal. For more details, see the What is a Siyum page.

How can I set myself up for success in learning a masechet?

Consistency is the key to success in studying Talmud. We recommend you set aside time for your learning project. It can be a short time or a long time, daily or weekly – the key is that it is a set time that works with your routine. 

No less important to your success is choosing a masechet that you are excited about learning! That way you will be motivated to stick to your learning schedule.   

You can use Hadran’s notification settings to remind you about your learning schedule and goals. Keep track of your progress by marking off dapim and lessons as you complete them.

Are these Talmud study resources really all free of charge?

Yes! We believe that Talmud should be accessible to those who desire to learn it. 

Most of our resources are developed with the help of contributions from Hadran students, so we do appreciate when learners support Hadran’s efforts.

Finished? Make a Siyum!

A siyum is a celebratory gathering customarily made when one completes the study of a masechet. It usually involves recital of the special Hadran text and Kaddish, sharing of divrei Torah and a festive meal.

Glossary

Here you’ll find definitions and explanations for some of the key terms in this masechet. See more here.

Chulin

Non-sacred – refers to anything that is not holy. When discussing meat, chulin refers to animals or birds that are slaughtered and eaten outside the Beit Mikdash (as all meat is today).

Simanei Tahara

Signs of purity – features that determine whether an animal is kosher. For animals, these are split hooves and chewing the cud; for fish, they are fins and scales; for birds, they are an extra digit, a crop, and a gizzard that can be peeled.

Chelev

Fat – the fatty parts of a sacrificial animal that the kohanim burn on the altar. Eating this is forbidden and punishable by karet, even if the animal was not slaughtered as a sacrifice.

Matanot Kehuna

Gifts of the priesthood – twenty-four gifts that the Torah commanded the Jews to give the kohanim. These include firstborn male animals; the foreleg, jaw, and maw of slaughtered non-sacrificial animals; the breast and thigh of certain sacrifices; the skins of burnt-offerings; the money used to redeem the firstborn son; and the first sheared wool.

Gid HaNasheh

The sciatic nerve – eating an animal’s sciatic nerve (a large nerve in the right thigh) is forbidden. This is connected to the injury to Ya’akov’s thigh when he wrestled with the angel.

Kisui HaDam

Covering the blood – refers to the mitzva of covering blood that spilled on the ground during shchita. If the blood is not covered, eating the animal is forbidden.

Oto V’et B’no

Him and his son – the mitzva not to kill an animal and its descendant on the same day.

Neveyla

Carcass – an animal that died of natural causes.

Treyfot

Treyfot are animals (and people) that have a wound or illness that will cause them to die within a year or so. Both wounds and animals are referred to as treyfot.

Nechira

Stabbing – the act of killing an animal by means other than shchita. This permits the animal’s meat to non-Jews (but not to Jews). The Jews were permitted to eat this meat during their sojourn in the desert.
