Rabbanit Michelle Cohen Farber (b. 1971 or 1972 (age 51–52)[1]) is the first woman to lead a Daf Yomi,[2] a multi-year Jewish Talmud study cycle traditionally reserved for men. The women's Daf Yomi led by Farber celebrated its first Siyum HaShas (completion of the Daf Yomi cycle) at the International Convention Center (Binyanei Ha'Uma) in Jerusalem on January 4–5, 2020.[1][3][4] Her study group meets at her home in Raanana, Israel, although the classes are recorded and circulated throughout the world on numerous platforms, including YouTube and Spotify.[1]
