This Sunday, November 13th, marked the Global Day of Jewish Learning that took place in over 200 communities, spanning 40 countries. The Global Day aims to bring together Jewish people from around the world to study fundamental Jewish texts. This year, the theme heeds the call of Rabbi Adin Even-Israel Steinsaltz, “Let my people know!” and focuses on the unity of the Jewish people through the “Shema.”
This year’s Global Day coincides with the launch of a new program by Shefa, the Steinsaltz center in Israel, entitled, “The Favorite Sugya.” This program brings together a variety of people – from Torah scholars, to artists, to academics – to expound and share their thoughts on a sugya of Gemara that they find particularly interesting and important.
Therefore, as an introduction to “The Favorite Sugya” program and in conjunction with the Global Day of Jewish Learning, Rabbi Adin Even-Israel Steinsaltz gave a lecture on his favorite sugyiot dealing with the Shema.
To participate in “The Favorite Sugya” program, which will take place weekly, go to www.hashefa.co.il to sign up.

#1, I think perhaps you mean “kol haomer shmuah zu na’ah.” However, first of all, I think Rabbi Steinsaltz knows that Gemara a _little_ better than you. Second, anyway, it continues “vezu einah na’ah,” implying that it’s a problem only if you add that part.
