    I want to know if someone out there could help me out. I’m in high school and learning bava kama b’iyun. what should i learn during my spare time? Is it important that i finish the masechta b’kiyus or is it more important that i learn a different perek b’iyun and not finish the masechta?

    I’m going to advise you to finish the Mesechta. There are alot of Gemaras in Bava Kama that will be useful yedios as you progress in your future learning. Also, learning b’iyun in youre ‘spare time’ is not as easy as it may sound, and may not prove to be so productive! Hatzlocha, and Gemar Chasima Tovah!

    great question. ask you Rebbe or Rosh Yeshiva and let us know what he tells you.

    Much more important to finish mesechta bkius. You need the yedios. Just read that Rav Shach advised the same thing. People who only learn b’iyun, after an entire year will complete only a handful of dapim, and then start to get depressed over how little they covered, and will forget even the little they learned. Divrei torah aniyim bmakom echad vashirim bmakom acher.

    yedios, yedios, yedios. Do the rest of the mesechta bekius, no doubt.I also suggest learning the mishnayos of the whole mesechta before you start. It gives you a big picture of what is to follow and puts every perek in an understandable framework. Behatzlachah!!

    How about Halacha? Or Chumesh (shnaim mikra doesnt count)? These areas are unfortunatley neglected nowadays, so if you feel that you are covering suffient ground in bekius (and are continiously chazering it) and that you are doing well in iyun, you might want to to spend your free time learning other things.

    …which is why i am suggesting it. don’t assume that everyone who learns in yeshiva knows halacha….

    Thanks guys. I want to know if I can’t finish the whole masechta, is it better to learn the first six prakim or last perakim? also, merubah is hard. I learnt about half of it and decided i’ll take a break and learn shor shenagach daled vhei. if i can’t finish the whole thing, which perakim should i learn?

    The first half is much easier than the second half

    however a shtickle ameilus (even more in the ninth perek) does pay off alot.

    (i know from personal experience.)

    It always bothered me, shor shenagach daled vhei, efsher I can hear a shor was nogeach one or maybe two, even three I could hear, but daled vhei is just too much. What does he have to do it for?

    Well, if you’re not allowed to kill animals, and you’re certainly not allowed to give them ritalin (as it has been tested on humans and shown to have detrimental effects), then what do you expect will happen with a wild shor?
