Gedalya Fetter is the new Melbourne Mishnayos Be'al Peh
winner, with second place going to Moshe Wurtzburger. The
competition, held by Kollel Beis Hatalmud, climaxed in a
large festive siyum gathering to honor all those who
learned mishnayos by heart, who are all real
winners.
The siyum was held on the first day Selichos, and was
honored with the presence of Rabbi Binyomin Wurtzburger and
Rabbi Chaim Gutnick. Rabbi Gutnick noted in his message how
pleasing it is to hear that boys spend their free time on
motzei Shabbos at no other place than in the Beis
Hamedrash.
Prizes were given to all who participated by the organizer of
the competition and menahel of the Kollel, Rabbi Moshe
Yudkowsky. The competition is geared to boys under bar
mitzvah. Each motzei Shabbos at the Kollel, between 8
p.m. and 9 p.m. one can find about 50 children learning and
being tested on their mishnayos.
