Second-Year Class

Question

Hello Rabbi Michi!
With God's help, on 1 Elul of this coming year I’ll be starting my second year at a hesder yeshiva, and I wanted to ask the Rabbi for advice: during most of my first year, I invested my private study time (meaning not the regular bekiut/iyun study sessions, but learning on my own) in Talmudic bekiut, along with a bit of books by later analytical scholars… And although I feel that this contributes to my iyun learning, I feel there are things that would contribute even more to my in-depth learning, and I’m looking for the optimal kind of study for that purpose.
 
Should I invest more in analytical works than in Talmudic bekiut? What kind of learning will contribute the most to in-depth learning? And I’d also be happy to hear a few more tips for going into second year.
 
Thanks in advance!

Answer

Hello. What you did sounds like what I usually advise. I prefer analytical works, but perhaps at your early stage (second year) it’s worth continuing with bekiut as well.
Wishing you much success.

Thank you very much.
Are there any specific books the Rabbi recommends?

Michi (2024-08-14)

The classic books: Shev Shema'tata, Sha'arei Yosher (difficult), Rabbi Yosef Engel, Rabbi Amiel (although in my opinion he has a lot of mistakes and misses).
