"Shiurim in English" is a digest of some of the Shiurim delivered to Shiur Beis at the Rabbinical College of Australia & New Zealand, in 5771. In these Shiurim, the goal is to analyze and clarify the Pshat of the Gemoro with Rashi & Tosfos, as explained by the Meforshim.
The reader is advised that the purpose of these Shiurim is not to exhaust all possible explanations of the Gemoro, but rather, to provide a דרך for understanding the Gemoro through the eyes of Rashi and Tosfos. For that reason, the explanations of other Meforshim are purposely omitted when they are at variance with Rashi and Tosfos - even when these explanations are the accepted הלכה.
These Shiurim are being updated in 5779, and will be noted accordingly.
