This week's episode is sponsored by one of my first Torat Shraga talmidim, Abayai Sherman.

Abayai has made an app that lets you create a custom learning schedule and then lets you add it to your calendar. You can add established programs like Daf Yomi, Nach Yomi or you can add that you want to do a perek a week if mishnayos for example.

Abayai is looking for Beta testers who are looking for something like that and are willing to provide feedback.

It is all free and there is no sign up. The website is currently at limud.abayai.xyz (You probably need to spell the website out.)

In this week's episode, we look at what proper learning of Tanach is, and similarly how we are challenged by Tanach in our days. We similarly look at what is considered proper synthesis of Tanach with the sugyas. We start discussing why, in my opinion, it is more important than ever to have a proper understanding of Tanach.

In this week's episode, we take a closer look at the issue of completeness of a sugya. Are there places in Tanach that broader knowledge of Shas will help us understand the stories better? Similarly, we examine the issue of are there places in Torah which we don't have enough information and understanding to pasken? How thoroughly are the laws of war discussed? Are there war related issues that we don't really have enough information and knowledge to pasken?

In this week's episode, we take a deeper look at how to understand the sugya of learning Tanach. For example, how should Rashi in Shir HaShirim be classified? Similarly, how difficult is it to properly understand the development of the harder Sefarim in Tanach, like Yeshaya and Yirmiyahu?

Similarly, we start looking at the issue of completeness of a sugya? How significant is it to have a full grasp of a sugya? Are there places where we should suspect the sugya is incomplete?
