Here's a song written by Mendy Werdyger for the Siyum HaShas (completion of the Babylonian Talmud) this past summer. It's to the tune of Tamid b'Chol Yom (Every day).
Let's go to the videotape. More after the video.
Around the time that you see this video, I should be checking in at Ben Gurion Airport once again. I will spend most of the next 24 hours in the air, God willing. I have a stop in Europe and then a long trip to the US.
Where am I going? Here's a hint: Name a city that more American Jews have visited than Israel.
More later in the day (I have a couple of hours on the ground in Europe later in the morning, and I will try to add posts in the airport before I take off if I have time).
Here's Baruch Levine singing v'Zakeini l'Gadeil (Let me be privileged to raise Torah scholars) at the Siyum HaShas in New Jersey earlier this month.
Let's go to the videotape.
I wasn't there so I cannot tell you what you had to do to be one of those 16,000 kids, but I wish we had that program here. I think I know someone who might know....
Oh, and yes, that's MetLife Stadium in the Meadowlands, about ten minutes from where I used to live, and there were about 90,000 people there.
This one is hot off the CD's. It's the Miami Boys Choir with a new video for the Siyum HaShas (the completion of the Babylonian Talmud), which will take place about six weeks from now. Are you finishing? I am, God willing....
Let's go to the videotape for When the Siyum Calls (Hat Tip: Dani K).
I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
