It is just after 5 a.m. in Perth, Western Australia, when Debbie Posner logs on to the All Daf App to begin her day by studying Talmud.
Despite the distance and remoteness of her location – some 11,000 miles from New York City – Posner has no trouble accessing resources to help her study one of Judaism’s most ancient texts. Throughout her day she will also join two additional Talmud lectures, in different countries and time zones to her own.
Advances in technology and a growing interest among women to study Talmud has resulted in the creation of a multitude of podcasts, online lessons, Zoom lectures, apps and Facebook groups.
