    Rabbanit Michelle Cohen Farber is the founder of Hadran, advancing Talmud study and Daf
    Yomi for women. Michelle studied Talmud at Bar Ilan University and at Midreshet
    Lindenbaum Scholars’ Programme. She’s taught gemara and halacha in Pelech Jerusalem,
    Midreshset Lindenbaum and Matan Hasharon. Together with her husband, she founded and
    leads Kehilat Netivot in Ra’anana where they live with their 5 children.


    We discuss how the anchor of Daf Yomi kept her going through the traumas we’ve been
    through as a people, why she focuses on women learning Talmud rather than Tanach, and
    how, while peers left studying for teaching, she continued to invest in her own learning until
    she judged the right time to move to teaching, and the difference that’s made for her and for
    others.
