It is our custom to allocate the entire Talmud – including tractates such as Zeraim and Taharos (which do not include Gemara), as well as Tamid and Midos (although they are straightforward accounts of the Temple service and design).
The Rebbe’s Choice – Sanhedrin
The Previous Rebbe would personally accept tractate Sanhedrin. Such a topic was appropriate for him, being a leader and shepherd of all Jewry, who was required to point out the correct path for the entire nation in accordance with the Torah’s guidelines. Tractate Sanhedrin also discusses the topic of “extra scrupulousness,” which is of concern to those who provide instruction.
Joining 770’s Allocation
Those who so wish, or who live in a place where they are not enough local participants to allocate the entire Talmud, may participate in the division that will take place right here in the Previous Rebbe’s study hall [770]. They should inform the directors of Machaneh Yisroel of their desire to participate, in writing.
Never Too Late to Join
If, for whatever reason, a person was unable to communicate his desire to participate prior to Yud Tes Kislev, he may still do so at the very first opportunity following Yud Tes Kislev.
