Srugim and Halakhah
Bein Din le-Din has a post on halakhic issues discussed in episodes of Srugim. Last week I ordered the entire first season of Srugim on DVD from Sifrutake. (The Srugim DVD’s aren’t yet on their website, but you can call them and order them.) The DVD’s are in PAL and are Region 2, therefore unwatchable on a regular TV here in America. The problem was solved by taking advantage of our need for a new DVD player and ordering one that can play DVD’s from Israel without any problem.
The Daf Yomi column in a recent issue of Makor Rishon featured a picture of Srugim, although I don’t think that there is a connection between the contents of the column and the picture, although I might be missing some Srugim knowledge.

first season was great. i’m not enjoying the second season as much.
btw, the first season is online.
also, you should be able to play a PAL disc in your computer

Playing a PAL disc isn’t a problem on a computer, but when the DVD is region 2 it can cause problems because even computer DVD players are programmed for one DVD region and after a certain number of switches they usually freeze up for one region. There are a few software work arounds, but they don’t always work.
