SUMMARY OF THE DAF

Taanis 3

Rabbi Natan nisuch hamayim from extra word nisuch
Nisuch hamayim is all 7 days according to Rabbi Yehoshua Halacha l'Moshe m'Sinai
The Rabbi Yehoshua of the Mishan is Rabbi Yehoshua ben Beteira (before he received smicha he was called by his father's name - afterwards by his own name).
Dew and wind don't need to be mentioned in prayer since they never cease.
G-d guarantees that the Jewish people will never cease just as the wind will never cease.
Rabbi Chanina - summer: said wind/don't repeat; said rain/ repeat. winter: forgot wind/don't repeat; forgot rain/repeat
pre-rain clouds never cease, post-rain clouds cease
regular rain never ceases, irregular rain ceases
rain is good if it doesn't raise dust
sunshine after rain is as good as double rain
Rava says good things about snow

The goal

The goal is for me to post a 15 minute daf yomi shiur every day. This can be a review of your usual shiur, or for those who have less time, a chance to learn the daf quickly.
Enjoy
