  • Approximately 200 students completed the fifth cycle of a daily Talmud study program in Bnei Brak.
  • The study program followed the learning regimen of the late Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky, known as 'Sar HaTorah'.
  • The celebration occurred during the intermediate days of Passover in a sukkah near Rabbi Kanievsky's former residence.
  • Rabbi Yitzchak Shaul Kanievsky, son of Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky, led the recitation of Kaddish Derabbanan.
  • Several prominent rabbis, including Rabbi Kanievsky's brother-in-law, addressed the gathering.

Approximately 200 students gathered in a special sukkah erected near the former residence of Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky, a prominent Torah scholar, in Bnei Brak. The event celebrated the completion of the fifth cycle of a study program where participants learn eight pages of Talmud daily, a regimen previously followed by Rabbi Kanievsky himself. The ceremony, held during the intermediate days of the Passover holiday, included the recitation of Kaddish Derabbanan, led by Rabbi Yitzchak Shaul Kanievsky, Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky's son.

Several prominent rabbis addressed the gathering, including the Rabbi, brother-in-law of Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky, Rabbi Kanievsky's brother-in-law; Rabbi Y. Ungarischer, Rosh Yeshiva of Beit Midrash Elyon; Rabbi M. Sh. Edelstein; Rabbi A. Garbuz, Rosh Yeshiva of Orchos Torah; Rabbi Y. Koldetzky; and Rabbi A. D. Epstein. Words of encouragement were also delivered by Rabbi A. L. Shapira, Mashgiach of the Ponevezh Yeshiva for Youths.

The event also conveyed a blessing from Rabbi Yisrael Bonom Shreiber, Rosh Yeshiva of Nativ HaDa'at, who reportedly delivers a daily summary lecture on the eight pages of Talmud studied within the 'Sichat HaTorah' program.
