The Daily Mishnah with Benedict

Religion EN ↓ 717 episodes

The Mishnah is probably the greatest and the most important Jewish book ever written. We are following a global study cycle with the aim of studying all of it, the entire Mishnah, by January 2028. Running five days/week, we cover between two and four Mishnayot on every episode. For source sheets and materials, visit www.thedailymishnah.com.
