I wish. The only 'real' food was for those who had a box. Otherwise, the concessions were limited to pre-wrapped snacks. If someone was able to get in there with a 'real' kosher deli, they would have made a mint. This does lead directly into what happens 7.5 years from now. We'll need someplace e

There were 95,000 Jews in attendance at the Met Life stadium to celebrate the ending of the 12th Daf Yomi cycle and the beginning of the 13th. Each cycle takes about 7.5 years. On Tue, Aug 7, 2012 at 9:23 AM, GMoney wrote: > > On Mon, Aug 6, 2012 at 2:06 PM, Michael Dinowitz < > mdino...@house

Nope. Still a page a day. Usually an hour or more with others in a study group. But that's the Daf Yomi. There are people who study more in school or as a scholarly pursuit. My uncle who passed away 2 weeks ago had done the complete cycle over a dozen times before he passed (no, not a page a day.
