I am looking for information about the siyum hashas that was held in Bais Yaakov of Boro Park in 1968. The web isn’t very helpful. I sthere anyone out there who attended that siyum, or knows someone who did? I would like to know who spoke, and anything that was distinctive about the event. Thanks for any leads.
Was anyone in the cr even around in 1968? 😉
Wow – that was so long ago!
I will be speaking to someone who was there today. I’ll ask if I remember. Please try to find some way to remind me.
Gefen: The OP was hoping that, perhaps, someone from your generation might have some recollection of the event.
Avhaben – “someone from your generation might have some recollection of the event.”
oooh! Them’s are fighting words. So you’re assuming I was around then?! What chutzpah! How do you know I wasn’t born in the 70’s?
Now – try to wiggle ur way out of this one. 😉
Such a young whippersnapper? A ’70’S baby?? Nahhhh, you know way too much. Was it the ’50’s?
Color pictures would be useful.
Perhaps not all the hats were black and shirts white???
I was around in ’68, but too young to have known what was happening. I do remember ’75 in the Midwestern community that I was living in at the time. Rav Dovid Lifschutz, the Suvalker Rav, came and spoke at that event.
Avhaben: hmmmmm. A compliment together with an insult. What? You thought maybe the insult wouldn’t be noticed?
compliment- “you know way too much” – I take that to mean I am sooo smart. 😉
insult- “was it the 50’s?” Hmph!!!! Thanks a bunch!! But ur WRONG. I guess I’ll just have to keep you in suspense. Oh well!
writer34- I’m really sorry this thread got carried away. I hope you get some real answers to your question.
writer34: Sorry, I forgot to ask.
I remember 1968 like yesterday. But I was so busy getting ready for the 1st landing on moon, the following year, that I forgot to go to the Siyum haShas.
I also was still too emotional from recapture of the Kossel 1 year earlier, to be able to concentrate on Yiddish speeches, so I didn’t bother attending.
In the Hasiyum Jr. given out at the Twelfth Siyum says that
Reb Yechezkel Abramsky, Reb Chaim Leib Shmulevitz, and the Gerrer Rebbe spoke at the 6th siyum. It also said the main Siyum in 1968 was in Yerushalayim and at that time the Daf yomi Commission of the Agudas Yisroel of America was trying to spread this idea in America.
