Online Gemara shiur

With R’ Eli’s daf yomi shiur you get Rashi and bit of everything else. An incredible way to start/end your day.

OP: Just out of curiosity, if you are willing to share, what leads you to want to focus exclusively on rashi to the exclusion of other meforshim?

The number of online shiurim is tremendous. “Kol Halashon” has dozens, and there are many such sites. Since virtually all shiurim learn the Talmud Babli according to Rashi, you probably have to sample the various shiurim to see what you like. While a directory, covering all webwsites, describing each shiur in detail would be nice, that doesn’t exist.

Once a person was called a Gaon. He felt good about himself but he was also told that you are like the Geonim who did not learn Rashi.

As my Rebbe would say (years ago!) If you don’t learn well now, you’ll grow up ignorant because no one is going to spoon feed it to you! He lied

edited to say ‘he erred’ 

“I’m hoping she only knows that R’ Eli’s shiur is good because of what her husband, brothers, or sons told her….”
Actually, it was someone who knew of R’ Eli from his prior life in Chicago real estate.

any shiur can be made into a 30 minute shiur by running the recording at faster speed.

some say that we would not be able to understand Gemora without Rashi. So, everyone, except “gaonim” that RebE mentions, rely on Rashi

This has nothing to do with squirrels. Magid shiur speaks at the speed most appropriate for his own thinking and an average student in the class. Some may need faster, some slower. It may depend on the topic.

It is also not about speed of listening, but how you react based on speed. I asked a Rav who know how I learn (but not the one who leads the shiur, for obvious reasons :), and he surmised that if one wants to simply absorb information without getting distracted into other issues, it may be better to listen at faster speed.
