What is Considered the Completion of a Tractate
Question
Is studying only the Mishnah and Gemara, even without Rashi, considered the completion of a tractate? If not, would studying the commentaries on the plain meaning of the Gemara from Metivta or ArtScroll be beneficial?
Answer
Shalom Rav
To be considered the completion of a tractate, one must understand what is being studied [at least a basic understanding].
There is no requirement for it to be with Rashi's commentary or any other commentary, the main thing is that the person understands.
