The Method Behind the Mishnah | Intro to Talmud Learning 7

In this episode of The Shiur, Rabbi Segal recaps the foundational mindset for learning Gemara: shifting from passive reading to active analysis. A simple three-line Mishnah unfolds into multiple interpretations, each revealing a different legal and conceptual framework. You’ll discover how apparent inconsistencies aren’t flaws—but deliberate triggers designed to activate deeper thinking. We learn how to interrogate the text, extract principles, and build a living system of Torah that evolves through analysis and discussion.
