I had to smile at Rav Ashi's comment at the top of 4a: "Any talmid haham who is not as hard as iron is not really a talmid haham." Sounds like there is a good rap song in there somewhere -- Ethan?
Our goal here is simple: to provide an opportunity for people of all levels and backgrounds to engage in the study of some of the foundational texts of Judaism.
The posts and comments on this page are meant to approximate a Beit Midrash: complex, multi-faceted and multi-vocal. We hope you will learn along with us, and you will enjoy the process of working your way through a text in the presence of other learners (virtual though it may be).
You can find an English version of the text we are studying here.
If you are interested in learning more about the Talmud, a good start would be this link.

Notice how I left out the rest of the statement and comments to it. I am no longer in seminar so that is not me!!!!!
