In
Judaism, Mishnah Yomis ( he, משנה יומית "The Daily Study of the
Mishnah") refers to the
Torah study cycle in which two Mishnayos (brief collections of rulings dealing with the Oral Law) are learned every day.
Previous cycles of the Mishnah Yomis began on 22 Tamuz 5770 (July 4, 2010), and 20 Adar-B 5776 (March 30, 2016). The current cycle began on Shabbat, 21 Tevet 5782 (December 25, 2021).
History
Although Jews have been studying the Mishnah ever since it was first compiled about 2000 years ago, this systematic cycle was first established in 1948 by Rabbi
Yonah Sztencl
Yona Sztencl ( he, יונה שטנצל, ; August 3, 1904 – July 5, 1969) was an Orthodox rabbi who founded the Mishnah Yomis and the Halacha Yomis. He also served as the rabbi of Congregation Bais Hassidim Arlenger in Tel Aviv and was a member ...
. His goal in creating the Mishnah Yomis cycle was to memorialize the Jews that were killed in
the Holocaust, through a global studying of the Mishnah. He also wanted to provide a realistic way for even a simple, working Jew to familiarize himself with the six orders of the Mishnah, upon which the Jewish system of law is based. In just 6 years, anyone can learn the entire set of 4,192 Mishnayos.
