In this session, four highly experienced educators will help us think about what Daf Yomi means, now, as a Jewish cultural or spiritual practice. What does it mean as a unifying practice (everyone who participates is "on the daf") that actually comprises many distinct and diverse practices?

How does it bring people together in shared purpose? How does it meet individual needs or advance individual goals?
