aribOr is it vice versa.
Anyway, this will require some explanation.
The Talmud (or Shas) is pretty much the primary source of codified Jewish religious law. It's something like sixty volumes, all varying in size. If you were to study one page per day, it would take seven years to complete the entire Talmud. People have been doing this for years, and a regular rota has been established. On March 1, the cycle, known as Daf Yomi (literally "page of the day") will end and restart, so there's a lot of publicity surrounding it now.
To that end, The ShasPod.

I want to some day be able to understand what a page of the Talmud says by simply opening up a volume and reading the Aramaic (OK, reading the Aramaic and reading Rashi's explanations of the truly elliptical parts). By avoiding all of these canned "give us 20 minutes and we'll give you a blatt Gemara" programs, am I being a Luddite, a Litvak, or both?
