QUESTION:
1) What should be my goal when learning b’iyun (in-depth) and bekiyus (learning to cover ground)?
ANSWER:
Iyun is about knowing the roots of the different views and to clarify them, with cheshbon (reviewing the buildup and details of the sugya) and sevara (original reasoning). Bekiyus is to know the root dinim (halachos) that appear in each sugya all the way down to the halacha l’maaseh.
