Lior: I find the Siyum HaShas boring. Sure, it’s awesome to hear the Hadran and see all the people there. And usually at least one of the speeches is good. But the whole production, overall, is way too much. I’d much rather learn for that time and hear the Hadran from the live hook-up.
And you ignored my point about balconies (the fact that I don’t believe you about closing the Ezras Nashim aside).
