Empowers our children to MASTER Gemara A groundbreaking התחלת גמרא workbook to develop the fine skills of learning Gemara! First, what is Gemara - both historically and conceptually, and why do we learn it? An entire "Introduction to Gemara" section is dedicated to answering these and similar questions. Next is the exciting section of Shiurim on Gemara . While the main study is typically from an actual Gemara, this workbook supplements as a learning aid. With full-color visuals, it shows how each sugya can be broken down with the same identifiable steps - in a manner that the student can easily absorb. Relevant vocabulary words of the Aramaic language are included as a concurrent curriculum. The review sheets are masterly designed and enjoyable to complete. However, the biggest enjoyment will be the student's very own sense of accomplishment! This is the first step to mastering the entire Shas! With a total of 32 Shiurim or lessons, this volume begins the 4th Perek of Tractate Brachos/מסכת ברכות called Tefillas Hashachar/פרק תפילת השחר and continues until Daf 27A, line 37. Volume 2 is due to print soon with another 26 shiurim continuing until the first Mishna on Daf 28B. The challenge of a curriculum is to engage the higher percentile of the class and, conversely, empower the lower percentile of the class. Our workbooks accomplish just that, featuring complex ideas in a manner both engaging for the bright student and simplified for the weak student.
With beautiful graphics and bite-size pieces, the Bright Beginnings series encourage independent discovery and will empower students for life. They will cherish and celebrate every step of Gemara!
