Final Siyum in Yerushalayim
by Yated Ne'eman Staff
The chareidi public eagerly awaited the siyum in honor of the
completion of the 11th Daf Yomi cycle in Jerusalem on Tuesday
night. Numerous gedolei Torah promised to honor the
major event held in honor of Torah at the International
Conference Center (Binyanei Ha'uma), including Maran HaRav
Eliashiv, shlita. The siyum is being sponsored
by Dirshu, the worldwide organization for the promotion of
Daf Yomi study, as well as commercial sponsors Shefa Shuk, El
Al, Bank Hapoalim, the Postal Authority, Kupat Cholim
Me'uchedet and the Electric Corporation.
Final preparations were made last week at a meeting attended
by all of the bodies involved in organizing the event
initiated by the City of Jerusalem's Department of Torah
Culture under the dedicated management of Rabbi Gavriel
Stauber, who worked day and night ever since the decision was
made to hold the event in Jerusalem.
Planning Committee representatives held a meeting with heads
of the Egged Co. in Jerusalem, who said all of the bus lines
leading to Binyanei Ha'uma would be boosted significantly.
Hatzoloh Yisroel representatives pledged to provide a large
group of volunteers to administer first aid and assistance if
needed. An agreement was also signed with a satellite
broadcasting company to transmit the event live to selected
sites in Bnei Brak, Elad, Rechasim, Kiryat Sefer and other
places with large chareidi populations, as well as a
broadcast at Tamir Halls, and possibly other sites based on
demand.
