Reply To: what do you think of daf yomi?

My point is that there should be a kvius ittim learning halacha l’ma’ase mixed with aggada and yiras shamayim. If, in addition to this kvius one wants to quickly do the daf to gain yedios like a quick bekius seder, then it might be a good idea. I am not here to bash anyone, it just bothers me that true limud hatorah sits in the corner while everyone rushes to do the daf. This was not the intention of those who instituted the learning of daf yomi. It was for those who otherwise had set times for serious Torah study, as a means of creating an achdus in klal yisrael. I’m all for that, but when it becomes a substitute for other, more important forms of Torah study, that is just wrong.
