The Siyum Programs
- What is Masmidei HaSiyum and how do I join it?
- It's an opportunity for children to get enthused and excited with the Siyum HaShas approaching by being mesayeim something in their own learning. Over 30,000 children are involved in 11 countries! To have your yeshiva/day school sign up for the program, please contact the MasmideiHaSiyum office. Phone number: 347-201-0270. Email: office@masmideihasiyum.org.
For information about the Masmidei HaSiyum program for Yiddish-speaking chadorim please contact Rabbi Eisenberger at 718-644-9935 or eisenberger@thesiyum.org.
- What is Chavrei HaSiyum, and how do I join?
- The Siyum HaShas is the greatest celebration of Torah in recent times. Tens of thousands of Daf Yomi learners celebrate their monumental accomplishment, of 2711 days - 7 ½ years of commitment, dedication, and perseverance.
But, learning the Daf doesn't work for everyone (for a myriad of reasons). As Chazal teach us, ain adam lomeid elah memakom shlibo chafetz - a person only learns what his heart desires.
Chavrei HaSiyum is designed to increase kviyas itim laTorah in a way that motivates, unites and empowers every kehillah and every individual through Torah learning. Have your kehillah join Chavrei HaSiyum and you and your community will make your own collective siyum at the Siyum HaShas!
We would be delighted to work with your shul/community to join this exciting project which promises to enhance both the Talmud Torah and achdus of the Jewish community. Please contact the Chavrei HaSiyum office for more information. Phone number:732-620-1100. Email:info@chavreihasiyum.com.
For information about the Chavrei HaSiyum program for Yiddish-speaking kehillos, please contact Rabbi Aharon Astrelitz at 917-627-9346 or AAstrelitz@thesiyum.org.
- What is the Daf Yomi Chaburah program and how can I join?
- In a Daf Yomi Chaburah the emphasis is on Chaburah, just as much as it's on Daf Yomi. The concept is to offer a stimulating shiur, while at the same time fostering a camaraderie between Chaburah members and their families. The impact of being part of a Chaburah can positively impact families for generations to come.
