==Study cycles== Apart from full-time Torah study as engaged in at schools and ''yeshivot'', or for the purpose of [[List_of_rabbinical_schools|rabbinic training]], there is also held to be an obligation<ref>See for example, [[Kitzur Shulchan Aruch (book)|''Kitzur Shulchan Aruch'']] [https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/4297872/jewish/Chapter-27-Law-Concerning-the-Study-of-Torah.htm Ch.27]</ref> on individuals to set aside a regular study period to review their knowledge. Pious individuals thus often daily review one of the major works - [[Talmud Bavli]], [[Talmud Yerushalmi]], [[Hebrew_Bible#Nach|''Nach'']] (Tanach), [[Midrash Rabba]], [[Midrash Tanchuma]], [[Tosefta]], [[Sifra]], [[Sifri]], [[Mishna]], [[Daily Rambam Study|''Rambam'']], [[Arba'ah Turim|''Tur'']], [[Shulchan Aruch]], [[Mishnah Berurah]], the [[Zohar]] - according to their interest. In more recent times, structured study-programmes have become popular; these include. * ''[[Shnayim mikra ve-echad targum]]'', study of the [[weekly Torah portion]] together with the Aramaic [[Targum]] - dating to Talmudic times - and often, Rashi's commentary. * ''[[Chok l'Yisrael|Ḥoq le-Yisrael]]'', a programme founded by rabbis [[Hayyim ben Joseph Vital]] and [[Chaim Joseph David Azulai]] in which, every week, one studies extracts from the Mishnah, the [[Zohar]] and other works in addition to the [[Weekly Torah portion|portion for that week]]: the relevant passages are often printed in book form in a multivolume set. * Daily [[Chumash (Judaism)|Chumash]] with [[Rashi]] each day of the week corresponding to one of the seven [[aliyah (Torah)|Aliyos]] [[Torah reading|read on Shabbos]] - one part of [[Chabad]]'s ''[[Chitas]]'' study * The ''[[Seder ha-Mishmarah]]'', used by some [[Mizrahi Jews]], in which each weekly Torah portion is studied together with sections from [[Neviim]] and [[Ketuvim]] and the Mishnah so that all these works are read in full in the course of the year: this too has been published in book form under the title ''Ḥoq le-Ya'akob''. In some countries it was customary for groups to gather in the [[synagogue]] each [[Shabbat]] afternoon and read out the ''mishmarah'' passages for the following Shabbat. * The ''[[Daf Yomi]]'' program, founded in 1923 by [[Meir Shapiro]]: one page of the Talmud is studied each day, on a rota to ensure that Jews round the world are studying the same passage at the same time (approximately 7.5 year cycle). * The ''[[Amud Yomi]]'', similar to Daf Yomi, but only one side of a page per day (approximately 14 years) * ''Yerushalmi Yomi'' – daily study of the [[Jerusalem Talmud]] (according to the pagination of the Vilna edition, this is a 4⅓-year cycle;<ref>See the [https://www.dafyomi.co.il/calendars/calendaryeruheb.htm regular cycle calendar].</ref> starting with the most recent cycle, there is an alternate cycle following the [[Oz Vehadar]] edition, which is roughly a 7.5 year cycle.<ref>See the [https://www.dafyomi.co.il/calendars/calendaryeruoz11heb.htm Oz Vehadar cycle calendar].</ref>) * ''[[Mishnah Yomit]]'', daily study of the [[Mishnah]] (6 year cycle); [[Mishnah Yomit#Other programs|''Mishnatit'']] covers all of [[Mishnah]] at a much faster pace (1 year cycle). * [[Daily Rambam Study]], one or three chapters of the ''[[Mishneh Torah#Study|Mishneh Torah]]'' (respectively, a 1 or 3-year cycle) * ''[[Mishnah Berurah]] Yomit'' - daily study (2.5 or 5-year cycle) * ''[[Shlomo Ganzfried#Kitzur Shulchan Aruch|Kitzur Shulchan Aruch]] Yomi'' - daily study (1 year cycle) * ''[[Halacha Yomit]]'' daily study of the [[Shulchan Aruch]] (4 year cycle); [[Breslov (Hasidic group)|Breslov ''hasidim'']] have a similar practice to daily review the Shulchan Aruch in addition to ''Likutei Moharan'' and ''Likutei Halachos'' <ref>[https://breslov.org/a-day-in-the-life-of-a-breslover-part-i-2/ "A Day In The Life Of A Breslover"; #11:''Shulchan Arukh''], breslov.org</ref> * ''[[Tanya (Judaism)|Tanya]]'' - daily study (1 year cycle) as part of the ''[[Chitas]]'' cycle as for Rashi above * [[929: Tanakh B'yachad]] - study of 5 chapters of [[Tanakh]] (Jewish Bible) per week (approx 4 year cycle) * ''[[Chafetz Chaim (book)|Chafetz Chayim]]'' and ''Shemiras Halashon'', daily review of the [[Halakha|laws]] concerning ''[[Lashon Hara]]'' (meaning "Evil tongue", [[gossip]] and [[slander]]; 1 year cycle). *[[Halakha#Codes_of_Jewish_law|''Tzurba M'Rabanan'']] (4 year cycle), detailed discussion on contemporary Halachik applications: studied in the [[Religious Zionist]] community (and outside Israel, through [[Mizrachi (religious Zionism)|Mizrachi]] in some [[Modern Orthodox]] communities)<ref>[http://mizrachi.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Tzurba-Learning-Schedule.pdf Tzurba Learning-Schedule], mizrachi.org</ref>
