Does anyone have any idea who will be speaking at the Siyum Hashas? Last time R Frand was the big speaker and he did a great job.
I hope there will be more English than Yiddish…
If need be, I could. I know a drop of English. Is there a number to call?
Zees: Do they even allow women at the Siyum Hashas? (Honest question; I’ve never been there.)
Will Yiddish be banned & banished at the Siyum haShas, so every decent Jewish Anglo Saxon, can really participate & come out, inspired by the program, to be fired up for the next 2711 days.
If English is too hard, speak in Aramaic which is the language of Shas.
Nope, Yiddish will be present in a prominent fashion at the siyum. If that doesn’t suit you, you are of course free to make your own siyum with 9 of your friends at home.
I hope they learned their lesson from the Internet Asifa.
As beautiful as it was, and I LOVED it, the fact remains that it COULD have been better, and more effective. Many English speaking American yidden were left grumbling and complaining. As by the asifa at Citifield, I wonder what the big deal is to make 2 seperate siyumim, one in english and one in yiddish, and make all jews happy and let all you Shas “heros” celebrate to your heart’s delight – because you all deserve it! And those who did not finish Shas but wish to join with your fellow brethren’s simcha, kol hakovod, that itself is praiseworthy. And let there be english AND yiddish! just my 2 cents.
Every Siyum Hashas, from the inception of the Daf Yomi through the siyum 7 1/2 years ago, has always had prominent Yiddish speaking. There’s no reason for that to change and it should be expected from anyone attending.
Sam:
Honest question? You were in doubt?
In the end the English Speakers will be more upset if Yiddish is spoken than the Yiddish speakers will be if English is Spoken
Most yiddish speakers , speak English, Most English speakers do NOT speak or understand yiddish
Sam they are paying megabux to install a huge mechitzah.
PBA: Until I saw Goq’s post I thought it a Davar Pashut that they weren’t allowed, actually.
Ok, yes it is a davar pashut.
In the end the English Speakers will be more upset if Yiddish is spoken than the Yiddish speakers will be if English is Spoken
How would you know that?
You can learn some Yiddish. It’ll make you more different than the goyim, which is a good thing.
Quick, lets all join Der Arbeter Ring.

Goyim eat hot dogs. Should we stop eating hot dogs because the goyim eat them?
I can speak a jewish Language, Its called HEBREW
HEBREW is the sole & only Jewish language! The blueprint of haShem, Torah heKedosho is written in Hebrew.
More than half the speakers at the last Siyum Hashas were in English. The time before that as well.
I remember 1982. Four main speakers. Rav Yaakov Kamenetsky, Bluzhover Rebbe in Yiddish. Rav Mordechai Gifter, Rav Shimon Schwab in English.
If Rav Gifter and Rav Schwab can speak english, So can I
