Great way of introducing a topic as complex as the Talmud. It was surely amazing to have such course instructors who can rarely be matched both in eloquence and erudition. Overall it was fun!

The choice of material was excellent as was the presentations by both knowledgable instructors.
Would be happy to take additional advanced courses in Talmud skills from them as well.

The course was read out by the instructors and read out extremely quickly, which is very annoying.
