Approximately 200 students, referred to as 'Shich HaTorah' learners, gathered during the intermediate days of Passover in a special sukkah erected near the residence of Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky in Bnei Brak. The event celebrated the completion of the fifth cycle of their study program, which involves learning eight pages of the Talmud daily, a method previously followed by Rabbi Kanievsky himself.
The ceremony for completing the Talmudic tractates and reciting Kaddish was led by Rabbi Yitzchak Shaul Kanievsky, son of the late Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky. Several prominent rabbis delivered speeches, including Rabbi B.D. Elyashiv, Rabbi Y. Ungarischer, Rabbi Mordechai Shmuel Edelstein, Rabbi A. Gerboz, Rabbi Y. Koldetzky, and Rabbi A.D. Epstein.
Rabbi A.L. Shapira, a supervisor at the Ponevezh Yeshiva for Youngsters, offered words of encouragement. The blessing of Rabbi Yisrael Bonom Shreiber, who delivers a daily summary lecture on the eight pages studied, was also conveyed. The event combined the solemnity of completing the Torah study with the joy of the holiday.
