Women and Daf Yomi

RENÉE LEVINE MELAMMED: Daf Yomi: His story or her story? (Jerusalem Post). Excerpt:

Women have slowly but surely been entering the world of the daf yomi. Once hooked, great efforts are made not to miss a single day.

Some women studied on their own, some studied with men and others studied in groups of women. In Israel there were at least three organized study groups of women: at the Matan Institute in Jerusalem, in Beit Shemesh and in Alon Shvut. These groups were small but serious and devoted. In Jerusalem, the size of the group ranged from eight to 15 women. One of the initiators, Yardena Cope- Yossef, remarked upon the process involved, of expanding one’s conceptual world and the gradual internalization of the pace and mindset of the Gemara.
