1. I want to write notes on the Gemoro I learn. Is it better to write during or after Shiur? How should I write the notes? Any style (Cornell method, etc.)?
2. I want to do Chazzoro on my learning well. What is a good Chazzoro method? How long after I learn should I keep on doing Chazoro?
3. I want to memorise my learning well. I already use Zichru (amazing program) but I only memorise with it the main sugyos, not the Shakla Ve’Tariya. How can I improve this method to memorise more (especially Shakla Vetaria), or what is a method to help me memorise lots more? Any seforim that talk about this? Any methods?
Thanks so much!!!

May 27, 2025 2:03 pm at 2:03 pm #2403960Just VisitingParticipantWrite shorthand notes during shiur in the following style
Q –
A-
S –
where Q is a question A is answer and S is statement. That will help you follow the Rebbe’s train of thought.
Afterwards, write the shiur over again in complete sentences and copying over the מראה מקומות your Rebbi brought in Shiur.
I very highly recommend the English sefer “Ben Yeshiva” by Rabbi Lopiansky. You should get some good guidance there.
If your goal is to remember your learning 3,5,10 years from now, then memorizing shakla v’tarya is not going to be very helpful. You want to focus on the Maskanos of the sugyos. You can write down the maskanos on index cards. One maskanah per card. If there is a key chakirah in the sugyah that would also be an index card – chakiros can go in a separate compartment. Very important to write on paper, not a computer. Hatzlacha!May 28, 2025 6:51 pm at 6:51 pm #2404105Yehoishua@YeshivaKetanaParticipantI have read ‘Ben Yeshiva’ but he doesn’t go through much of the taking notes- how to. But your tips were helpful!! How do i memorise the מראה מקומות my rebbe brings during the shiur so i can write it down later?
