What does SHIUR mean in Scrabble?
noun
A lesson or study session in Jewish tradition, especially one in which a group studies a passage of the Talmud together, usually under the guidance of a rabbi or teacher.
A shiur can take place in a synagogue, a yeshiva or a private home, and its length and format vary from a short daily session to an extended weekly class. Because the word comes directly from Hebrew, an English speaker unfamiliar with Jewish religious education might otherwise mistake shiur for an ordinary lecture rather than a specifically Talmudic or textual study session. Participants in a shiur typically read and discuss a text passage by passage, with the teacher explaining difficult points and fielding questions from the group. Communities that offer a regular shiur treat it as an ongoing commitment to shared learning rather than a single one-off talk.
