O’Fishel MMMDY Chulin Incentive Program
It’s About The Yomi
This program is specifically geared toward new Daffers* who are metzuveh in Talmud Torah, ages 10-119**, with an American social security number in his name. However, anyone is welcome to join Reb Eli Stefansky’s MDY Shiurim and the WhatsApp Chat for chizuk and comradery.
* We define a ‘new daffer’ as one who has not learned or listened to 50% or more of a masechta as part of ANY Daf Yomi regimen since Brachos 2020.
** If you are 120, you will be completing the masechta in the Yeshiva Shel Maalah. By the way, make the most of your day!
In order to qualify for the O’Fishel’s Mitzvah Motivators Financial Incentive:
· Apply to join at mitzvahmo.com.
· Once your application has been approved, you will receive an id number and be invited to join the Mitzvah Mo MDY Chulin WhatsApp group.
· Watch the ENTIRE Daf (From Good Morning, Rabbosai to Have a Wonderful Day) daily with MDY Daf Yomi, from Maseches Chulin 2-142, (Shabbos, May 2, 2026 through Shabbos, September 19, 2026, l’minyanam) either in real time or recorded, at regular speed.
· Post that you learned the Daf every day on the Mitzvah Mo MDY Chulin Whatsapp group. Each post must include the following information:
~ Your id number
~ The Daf number
~ A comment about the Daf
(ex. ID# 26 Daf 12 I never knew xyz).
Failure to include any of this information with your daily post may disqualify you from the cash incentive.
· You have until the following evening of the day’s Daf to document your learning (ex. Monday’s Daf must be learned and documented by Tuesday evening). For Shabbos or Yom Tov, documentation must be posted within 36 hours from the conclusion of Shabbos or Yom Tov.
· Acceptable comments include a related question, answer, story, or point to ponder.
· Additionally, you must do Chazara of each Daf within one week of the posting of that Daf. Chazara can be done by yourself, or by listening or watching any Daf Yomi Shiur. Post your Chazara of each Daf on the chat as well.
Here’s how the financial incentive works:
Any participant who signs up and completes every Daf of Chulin, and completes an affidavit attesting to that, will be sent $1,000 to his name and American address on file after the Masechta is completed, courtesy of Mitzvah Motivators and our supporters. 1099s will be filed in accordance with dina d’malchusa.
Even those who are ineligible to join for the financial incentive, may still join the program for its chizuk and camaraderie.
FAQs:
What should I do if I missed a day, Chalila, due to extenuating circumstances?
All questions about extenuating circumstances or clarifications of rules must be sent to mitzvahmo@gmail.com. While you are waiting for your answer, please continue learning!
O’Fishel, Mitzvah Motivators, and its administrators have the right to adjudicate all ambiguities.
Can we join as a Shul or other group?
Any group which would like to participate can reach out to Rabbi Yisrael Motzen at yisraelmotzen@gmail.com (of Ner Tamid Congregation in Baltimore, where over 100 successful participants started learning Daf Yomi!) for advice and encouragement or Rabbi Shmuel Rubin (NY Capital Region, who also launched a popular program in his Shul), at 518-496-0779. Each participant must sign up individually.
May one contribute to the program?
Sure! Each $1,000 or more contributed toward the program incentivizes another Yid to learn an entire masechta. Higher and lower amounts are both accepted and appreciated!
Is this incentive program for real? Is it new? What geographic areas are eligible?
The incentives are real, and the benefits of learning Daf Yomi go way beyond any financial gain!
This program has been successfully implemented for over 5 years in parts of Maryland, New York, New Jersey, and Eretz Yisrael. It’s now open for the entire USA! We welcome benefactors in other countries to fashion their own programs. Chayalim may contact us for schedules to incorporate their active duty.
