Shas Being Distributed for Next Cycle Le'Ilui Nishmas HaRav Shach zt"l

by Betzalel Kahn

Sections of the Shas are being distributed to bnei Torah — including a number of gedolei Torah — to be studied le'ilui nishmas Rabbeinu Maran HaRosh Yeshiva zt"l.

The project began during the first year of mourning when bnei Torah studied ten dapim each, collectively finishing the entire Shas every month in HaRav Shach's memory based on a request in his will to "do chessed for me by learning for my neshomoh even a single Mishnoh or a single machshovoh, and this will be my reward, for I dedicated myself to your success." These words were later engraved on his gravestone as well. "And if I am able to advocate on your behalf I will do so, bli neder," he added.

At the end of the year of mourning, Maran's leading talmidim, based on the advice of gedolei Yisroel including Maran HaRav Eliashiv shlita, organized an annual distribution of the Shas and together thousands of lomdim have completed the entire Shas several times.

This year's distribution of masechtos and blocks of dapim is being organized by coordinators at Torah halls everywhere or by calling 054-2095493. (In the US dial 718-755- 4200.) A special line for local volunteers and coordinators has also been set up at 057-3102346.

Those who made commitments to learn masechtos or a block of pages as part of the fourth cycle should complete them by the yahrtzeit this Friday, 16 Cheshvan, the day of the Avi Ezri's histalkus.
