How 2,711 Jews Can Complete the Entire Talmud in 24 Hours

The Babylonian Talmud — the Shas — contains exactly 2,711 dafim in the standard Vilna printing. Each daf is a double-sided folio, usually studied over one day in the Daf Yomi cycle. In the Global Siyum HaShas, each of those 2,711 dafim is claimed by a different person and completed within a single 24-hour window.

The result: the entire Oral Torah, completed in one day, by one global community.

Create an account with Google, Apple, or email. No payment required. Your account tracks your claim, your completion, and your dedication — all in one place.

Step 2: Claim Your Daf

Browse the full list of 2,711 dafim — organized by masechta — and reserve the one that speaks to you. Maybe it's Bava Kamma 2a because your father loved that masechta. Maybe it's Shabbat 31a because of Hillel's famous teaching. Maybe you just pick whatever is available and trust that it's yours by design.

Each daf can only be claimed by one person. First come, first served. Once the campaign starts, unclaimed dafim can still be taken — but popular ones go fast.

Step 3: Learn It During the 24-Hour Window

When the Global Siyum begins at 18:00 Jerusalem time on 14 May 2026, the 24-hour clock starts. You have until the same time the next day to learn your daf and tap "Complete".

You can use any resource: the physical Gemara, Sefaria, ArtScroll, the Koren Talmud, a shiur on YouTube. The point is not how you learn it — the point is that you do.

Step 4: Watch the Ring Fill Up Live

As each person around the world completes their daf, the live progress ring updates in real time. You can watch from the dashboard as Jerusalem, New York, Cape Town, Melbourne, London, and Buenos Aires light up one daf at a time. When the ring reaches 100% — when all 2,711 dafim are done — the Global Siyum begins.

The Hadran

At the moment of completion, every participant receives the Hadran — the traditional declaration recited at a siyum — and a personalised completion certificate. The live celebration begins. The Kaddish is said. And somewhere, in the merit of every daf completed that day, the world is a little more whole.
