THE LIVED MISHNAHLearn with a Chabura
Motzei Shabbos Mishnayos Chabura
Recordings of live chaburos given over the years, mostly at the Young Israel of Lawrence-Cedarhurst — each Masechta learned from beginning to end, with questions from the room included.
A different format from the rest of the site: a shiur, not a single-mishnah program. Each masechta is one season; each shiur covers a few mishnayos. Open a week to listen, or open a mishnah to jump to where it is taught. Listen on Zeman Nakat Radio, or subscribe to Motzei Shabbos Mishnayos Chabura wherever you get podcasts.
