The poster features a stunning drawing of the legendary Rav Meir Shapiro, founder of the Daf Yomi and an inspiring quote from his speech given at the Knesiah Gedolah of Agudas Yisrael in Vienna in 1923.

The Gemara relates the following story: Rabban Gamliel was at sea when he encountered a capsized vessel. Seeing that there were no survivors, he was distraught over the loss of the great Rebbi Akiva who was on board. Upon disembarking, Rebbe Akiva came before him to study. Obviously relieved, but surprised he asked, “My son, who brought you up from the water?” Rebbe Akiva responded:

דף של ספינה נזדמן לי וכל גל וגל שבא עלי נענעתי לו ראשי…

The plank of a ship came before me. I grabbed hold of it and floated to safety, nodding my head to each and every wave.

Rav Meir Shapiro zt”l derived an astounding life lesson from this Gemora that has changed the Torah world. “A plank from the boat came to me, and I bent my head before each and every wave that came toward me. This plank, this daf, is the daf Gemora, the Daf Yomi, which is available to every Yid wherever he may be, to save him   from the crashing waves of evil that threaten to destroy him physically and spiritually, the daf Gemora that saves every Yid from the waves of a stormy life.”

The stunning artistic rendition of this Gemarah is sure to be a source of inspiration to you and your family this Sukkos.
