System Status

Audio & Video Downloads Fixed

The audio and video download buttons were not working. This has been resolved and downloads are working again.

Drag the Daf on Mobile

On mobile, you can now drag the daf page with your finger to pan around when zoomed in — making it easy to read any part of the page.

Chullin PDFs Now Available

Color and black & white PDF downloads are now available for all of Maseches Chullin.

Scroll Freely in the Full Daf Shiur

You can now scroll the daf to read Rashi, Tosfos, or any part of the page without it jumping back to the highlighted line. The daf stays where you scroll it.

Picture in Picture

Added Picture in Picture support to all video players — pop the video out into a floating window while you browse or learn.

Feature Presentations Upgraded to New Video Player

Feature Presentations now use the same upgraded video player with speed controls, skip buttons, and a resizable player.

Upgraded Video Player for Intro & Review

The Intro and Review video players have been upgraded with a built-in quality selector (Low, Normal, HD, 4K), playback speed controls, and ±15 second skip buttons — all directly in the player. Your quality and speed preferences are saved for next time.

Resizable Video Player

You can now drag the corner of the Intro and Review video player to make it bigger or smaller. The size is saved so it stays the way you left it.

Mishkan Yecheskel Credit Added

A Mishkan Yecheskel credit now appears at the bottom of every page.

Friendly Notice for Unavailable PDFs

If a PDF is not available for a particular daf, a friendly message now appears instead of an error page.

Hebrew Daf Numbers

Daf numbers now appear in Hebrew letters throughout the site — on the home page, the daf page, and the Choose a Daf page.

Sharper, Brighter Shiur Video

The rabbi video in the Full Daf Shiur now looks clearer and more vivid — better contrast and brightness for an improved viewing experience.

Each Shiur Type Has Its Own Link

The Intro, Full Daf Shiur, and Review each now have their own shareable link. You can bookmark or share a direct link to any specific view.

Next & Previous Daf in Full Daf Shiur

Added previous and next daf buttons directly inside the Full Daf Shiur controls. No need to scroll — navigate to the next daf without leaving the shiur view.

Bookmark Confirmation Now More Visible

When you save your place in the Full Daf Shiur, the confirmation now pops up at the bottom of the screen where it's easy to see.

Full Screen Daf View

Added full screen mode for the daf image in the Full Daf Shiur. Includes playback controls, zoom, and ESC to exit.

Pointer Style Persists Across Dafim

Fixed a bug where the pointer style (hand, arrow, caret, pen) would reset to the default when navigating to the next daf.

PDF Downloads on Full Daf Shiur

Color PDF and B&W PDF download buttons are now available on the Full Daf Shiur tab, not just Intro and Review.

Search on Feature Presentations Page

Added fuzzy search to the Feature Presentations page. Search by any part of the masechta name, even partial letters.

Search on Choose a Daf Page

Added fuzzy search to the Choose a Daf page with support for Hebrew and English masechta names.

Videos were not playing on iPhone and iPad. This has been resolved — all videos now play correctly on all devices.

Spacebar Play / Pause

Spacebar now toggles play and pause on the intro, review, and feature presentation video players.

Highlight & Pointer Reposition on Zoom

The daf line highlight and pointer now instantly reposition when zooming in or out, without needing to play or pause the video.

Feature Presentations — Video Modal

Feature Presentations now play directly on the page without leaving. You can also open them full screen or use spacebar to play and pause.

Chullin with Rav Belsky Added

Added the Chullin feature presentation with Rav Belsky to the Feature Presentations page and the home page.

Bava Metzia Video Path Fixed

Bava Metzia videos were not loading correctly. This has been resolved.
