Today’s First, Catch Up Later

If you join the learning cycle after it has already begun (partway through the year), you should first study the current day’s chapters. That way, you will be studying the identical laws—with all other participants (across the globe—unity in Torah study being one of the basic goals of this campaign). Then, over time, you should slowly make up the missed material from the beginning of Mishneh Torah—adding only part of the missing material to each day’s study, to make it more readily digestible.
