Maggid Shiur

Maggid Shiur (Hebrew: sayer of a lecture‎; Torah lecturer)[1] is the rabbi that lectures in a yeshiva or kollel. He usually lectures in one place, on a given topic, generally on advanced and in-depth Talmudic studies, on a fixed schedule.

The stature of a Maggid Shiur is a much sought-after position by the typical yeshiva student. The position is usually obtained by those well versed in the Talmud.

Rav Shach told a future Magid Shiur that the key to successful lectures is "knowing how to ask the initial questions that comprise the shiur."[2]

Contrasting Chavrusa with Maggid Shiur

While the Chavrusa (study partner) system requires more commitment and participant preparation,[3] a Maggid Shiur generally has more experience and, ideally "points out details" that both partners "never knew."

To succeed, both need "well defined goals."[4]
