  • Kelim Shvurim (Hebrew - HaRav ShaGa"R)
  • Lo Bashamayim Hi (Hebrew - Prof. Shalom Rosenberg)

And Learning (each only once a week, pretty much; nature of my 'shtella'):

  • Bava Metzia chapter 8
  • Reivew of Issur Ve-hetter (incl. Tur-Beis Yosef-Shulchan Arukh-Shach-Taz-Aruch Hashulchan-and compiled notes from Rabbanut test-takers)

  • Sefer Yirmiyahu
  • Sefer Shmuel Aleph
  • Rambam Hilchos Talmud Torah
  • Random stuff that comes up (I love having ADD)
