Daf HaChaim Learn, Master & Remember Daf HaChaim is a revolution in Talmud study that makes learning easier, clearer, and more accessible than ever before. Daf Hachaim works in 3 steps: First, the learner is offered a brief Intro to the Daf by an on-screen Magid Shiur using animated charts and graphics that make the concepts exceptionally clear. Then the learner sees a perfectly clear daf from the beautiful Oz Vehadar Shas and the Magid Shiur teaches the Daf itself. Afterwards, the learner is offered a Review: The Magid Shiur appears using animated flowcharts & graphics to present a review and summary of the Daf. You'll learn, master, and remember as never before! Features · A video of a talented Magid Shiur presenting an Overview of each Daf, a full Daf Shiur, and a Review of each Daf. · Richly Animated graphics illustrating and explaining the flow of each Daf. · The complete Oz Vehadar Shas (in multiple close-up views for maximum ease in learning). · Highlighting or Underlining the Gemara text in a choice of colors, in-synch with the Magid Shiur. · A choice of Pointers that move in-synch with the Magid Shiur. · Bookmarking: Save places on the Daf of special interest to you. · Complete Start/Stop/Pause Control: Have the Magid Shiur wait for you during interruptions or return and repeat sections of the Overview, Shiur, and Review. · Free Navigation allows the Learner to go directly to the Daf Shiur or view a series of Reviews for chazorah as he wishes. · Downloads: In either video or audio allow the use of Daf Hachaim without an Internet connection.
