PHOTOS: Williams Street Shul Celebrates Siyum HaShas; A Collective Year-long Project

shPHOTOS: Last night, the culmination of a year-long project was celebrated with the Shas of Khal Williams Street’s first Siyum HaShas.

This achievement, which was launched and spearheaded by the Kehilla’s indefatigable Rov, HaRav Moshe Chaim Kahan Shlit”a on Simchas Torah last year, was accomplished by the entire Kehilla collectivelylearning different sections of Shas – finishing it in its entirety. This tremendous display of Achdus, where everyone in the Shul, including Baalei Battim, Yungerleit and Yeshiva Bochurim joined together to make the Siyum, is a testament to the Kehillas general cohesiveness.

In the month leading up to the Siyum, the younger boys of the Shul began a Chevra Mishnayos, with the goal of being Mesayem Seder Moed in time for the Chevra Shas siyum. Not only were the boys able to meet this goal, but the exceeded expectations – with almost 50 boys learning a total of over 2,000 mishnayos in one month. They were each presented with a framed certificate celebrating their accomplishment.

The crowd also had the special Zchus to be addressed by HaRav Elya Brudny, Rosh Yeshiva in The Mir Yeshiva. Rav Brudny’s inspiring words left an indelible impression on the assembled crowd, as they launched this coming years Chevra Shas with great simcha. [TLS]
