How to Read Talmud

Oral and Written Torah

Question

Shalom Rabbi, I am new to Reading Talmud. I have Steinsaltz edition of Bereshit. I would like to know you start with Mishnah I understand that, but where does a subject end? Do you read until next Mishnah?. Thank you Bob

Answer

Shalom!

Thank you for your question.

Your question is not clear. You make mention of "Bereishit" which is the book of Genesis, meaning it's a book on the Torah. It is not Mishna or Talmud. Mishna and Talmud is a different body of literature.

But to answer your question, yes, a passage of Talmud officially ends at the next Mishna.
