Learners of the Daf Yomi are completing the Gemara after 7 and a half years of learning with celebrations held in major Jewish communities around the world, especially in Israel in America tonight at the Metlife Stadium in New Jersey.
One shul in Crown Heights did not waste time and held its Siyum Hashas Wednesday morning at 8:15 AM.
A group of dedicated congregants of Congregation Anash at 770 Montgomery Street have met daily in the morning and again in the evening for the last 7 years to learn Gemara with R’ Shlomo Aron Holtzberg.
“This is not the first time R’ Shlomo Aron has finished the Shas but it is the first time he has finished Shas as a Maggid Shiur,” one of the regulars told COLlive.
He completed the Shas with the last Gemara in Niddah followed by a pilpul. Started it again with Gemara Brochos was Rabbi Nochum Kaplan, Director of the Merkos Chinuch Office, who himself also celebrated finishing shas.
Present at the siyum and the L’chaim that followed was the shul’s founder Rabbi Dovid Fischer, the gabbai R’ Hershel Zarchi and the mispalelim.
Another siyum in the neighborhood will be held Thursday night in Getzel’s Shul on Kingston Avenue.
