Reply To: Should Tanach be Taught in Cheder?

the classical requirement is to divide your time in 3: mikra, mishna, talmud. Later empahsized Gemora more as one needs to finish all 3 and the latter is more important. This is all good, modern world indeed requires more Talmud (in a wider sense – ability to reason about mitzvos, not simply learn pesukim (mikra) and known halakha as in “mishna”). Still, this later statement does not fully negate Nach … so, say, if you are doing 7+ years of daf yomi, you should either do full Tanach and Mishna before that, or finish them in the same 7 years, even if takes you 10 minutes a day.
