Our Program Overview
Gemara Academy has totally transformed my classroom. My students appreciate seeing in front of them a clear map of the day's Gemara, as well as the different forms of learning and review that are consistent in each lesson. Also with Gemara academy our Chavrusa time has become much more efficient and productive with a much heavier load of thoughtful questions from the Talmidim.

The Class Outlines presents 3 things:
- The section of Gemara he will be learning in that class
- The components of the Gemara e.g. statement, question, answer, and proof
- The keywords in that class followed by an explanation for each of them
Introducing new ideas, concepts or quotes from other places to facilitate a thorough understanding of the Gemara
Mapping out the Gemara with a Flowchart that mirrors and parallels the Gemara text. This provides a picture of the Gemara discussion
The text classes serve to provide a text based experience. The ultimate goal of learning Gemara is to develop the ability to independently learn a piece Gemara.
