hebcal/learning

Daily learning schedules for the Hebcal Jewish calendar, implemented in Go.

This module supplies daily Torah/Talmud learning schedules and registers them with the daily learning registry in github.com/hebcal/hebcal-go. It is the Go counterpart of the TypeScript @hebcal/learning package, and mirrors the relationship between @hebcal/core and @hebcal/learning: hebcal-go contains no schedules itself, and this module plugs them in.

Schedules

• dafyomi — Daf Yomi, a daily page of the Babylonian Talmud (Bavli).
• mishnayomi — Mishna Yomi, two Mishnayot per day (~6-year cycle).
• nachyomi — Nach Yomi, a daily chapter of Nevi'im (Prophets) and Ketuvim (Writings).
• yerushalmi — Yerushalmi Yomi, a daily page of the Jerusalem Talmud, in both the Vilna and Schottenstein editions.
• nine29 — 929 (Tanakh B'Yachad), a daily chapter of the Hebrew Bible, Sun–Thu, covering all 929 chapters in ~3.5 years.
• rambam — Daily Rambam (Mishneh Torah), in both the 1-chapter-a-day and 3-chapters-a-day cycles.
• dafweekly — Daf-a-Week, the same page of the Babylonian Talmud studied for an entire week (~52-year cycle).
• perekyomi — Perek Yomi, one chapter of the Mishnah per day (~17-month cycle).
• psalms — Daily Psalms (Tehillim) in the traditional 30-day cycle, completing the book of Psalms each Hebrew month.
• pirkeiavot — Pirkei Avot ("Ethics of the Fathers"), one chapter on each Shabbat of the summer between Pesach and Rosh Hashana.
• tanakhyomi — Tanakh Yomi, completing the Tanakh annually by the Masoretic division into sedarim (skips Shabbat and major festivals).

Usage

Each schedule registers itself with the dailylearning registry in hebcal-go via a package init function. Import the top-level learning package for its side effects to enable every schedule:

import (
	"github.com/hebcal/hebcal-go/hebcal"
	_ "github.com/hebcal/learning" // registers all learning schedules
)

opts := &hebcal.CalOptions{
	Start:         hdate.New(5783, hdate.Cheshvan, 18),
	End:           hdate.New(5783, hdate.Cheshvan, 23),
	DailyLearning: []string{"dafYomi", "rambam3"},
}
events, err := hebcal.HebrewCalendar(opts)

To register only a subset of schedules, blank-import the individual sub-packages instead:

import _ "github.com/hebcal/learning/dafyomi"

The schedules can also be used directly without going through the calendar:

daf, _ := dafyomi.New(hdate.FromGregorian(1995, time.December, 17))
fmt.Println(daf) // Avodah Zarah 68

Registered calendar names

The schedules register the following case-insensitive names with the dailylearning registry, matching the names used by @hebcal/learning:

• dafYomi
• mishnaYomi
• nachYomi
• yerushalmi-vilna
• yerushalmi-schottenstein
• 929
• rambam1
• rambam3
• dafWeekly
• dafWeeklySunday
• perekYomi
• psalms
• pirkeiAvotSummer
• tanakhYomi

Roadmap

The goal is to eventually port all of the daily learning schedules from the TypeScript @hebcal/learning package. Still to port: Arukh HaShulchan Yomi, Sefer HaMitzvot, Chofetz Chaim, Shemirat HaLashon, Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, Dirshu Amud Yomi, etc.
