Purpose of the "Daf in < 100 words"...

The project aims to summarize every page (Daf) of the Talmud on the day when it is learned in the Daf Yomi cycle. I assume that I am talking to a brilliant and knowledgeable audience. For this reason, I do not explain the terms every time they occur, such as Get meaning a divorce document. People either know it or will figure it out. By reading the short emails for 7.5 years, one will cover the major points of the Talmud. Those who study the Daf daily will get a short summary as a reminder. I am by no means sufficiently qualified, but my friends will forgive me for the mistakes.
