Each week, our avrechim take a source - a passage of gemara, a comment by a classic or modern sage, a story - and devise a shiur or derashah using that topic. Then, at week's end, we compare notes to see what each of us has done with the source. This is great as a development exercise, as well as a chance to work collaboratively.
Here are some of the sources we have used; I hope to include some of our results on this site, as well. Please contact us ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) to let us know what you have done with them!
