What is Yerushalmi Yomi?
Yerushalmi Yomi is the daily-page cycle through the Jerusalem Talmud (Talmud Yerushalmi) — one page a day, completing the whole work in about four and a quarter years. It's Daf Yomi's younger sibling: the same shared-schedule idea, applied to the Talmud most learners never meet.
What is the Jerusalem Talmud?
There are two Talmuds. The Babylonian (Bavli) — the one "the Talmud" usually means — was shaped in the academies of Babylonia. The Yerushalmi was compiled earlier, in the Land of Israel, and it reads differently: terser, faster-moving, closer to the land-dependent laws (agriculture, tithes) the Bavli barely treats, with its own traditions and voices. Learning it is like hearing the same conversation from the other side of the ancient Jewish world.
How does the cycle work?
One page a day on a shared worldwide calendar (the schedule pauses for Tisha B'Av and Yom Kippur), completing the Yerushalmi in roughly four and a quarter years — see the full Yerushalmi Yomi calendar for any month, past or future. Most learners come to it after some Bavli experience, but that's a convention, not a requirement — with each day's page explained, the Yerushalmi's terseness stops being a wall.
In short: Yerushalmi Yomi is a page a day of the Jerusalem Talmud — the Land-of-Israel Talmud — on a shared schedule that completes it in about 4¼ years.
