=Welcome to the YU Bekiut program 2011-2012!= I am so excited that you chose to participate in this wonderful program and am sure your efforts with this endeavor will be rewarded with a great deal of personal satisfaction. In addition to familiarizing yourself with a wide range of Talmudic material, you will be joining hundreds of high school students nation-wide in the independent study of Torah.

I have created this site in an effort to provide you with the best opportunity for success and hope you will find it to be useful as you conduct your study of מסכת מכות. On this site you will find useful links and resource material that will help you as you learn through each week's material and support you as you keep up with the pace of the program (see the sidebar). Please read the instructions below and keep in touch as you begin your journey through Masechet Makkot.

Good Luck, Rabbi Yablok

Getting Started

 * 1) **Identify the method with which you will be studying each daf:** You may choose to learn with one of the rabbis on staff, your own chavrusa, a family member or independently. I recommend working with a rabbi or chavrusa at least once a week and checking in with this site regularly.
 * 2) **Obtain a copy of Masechet Makkot**: Find an edition of Masechet Makkot with which you are comfortable and with which you will be able to comprehend the material. I have posted links to two PDF version on the Useful links page and am available to help you select a copy that will best suit your needs.
 * 3) **Set up a routine:** Identify the time(s) that you will attempt to study this material each week. Consider how long it will take you to cover and review the material each week and where you will be doing so. I will provide review opportunities at the beginning of each week so that you can evaluate how well you are retaining the material. The __first test__ will be on **October 31, 2011** and will cover דף ב through דף ה.
 * 4) **Start Learning!**
