A celebratory gathering took place in the sukkah of Rabbi Dan Segal, a prominent spiritual supervisor, during the Sukkot holiday. The event marked the completion of the "Shas Gf"t" (Talmud, Rashi, and Tosafot) study cycle by four representatives of the global Torah study initiative 'Veshinantam'. These four individuals stood as proxies for the 18,322 participants worldwide who completed the cycle.
The gathering included prominent donors and supporters of the initiative, referred to as 'Tomechei Torah' (supporters of Torah study). Speakers included Rabbi Yehuda Deutsch, who emphasized the significance of gathering to promote Torah knowledge and highlighted the impact of 'Veshinantam' in fostering generations of Torah scholars. Rabbi Berel Karniel, president of 'Veshinantam', spoke about the great merit of dedicating oneself to Torah study and the immense perseverance of the thousands of students.
Rabbi Dan Segal delivered the main address, stressing the importance of partnership between the students and the 'Tomechei Torah'. Following the speeches, Rabbi Segal joined donors in celebratory dancing, accompanied by cantor Rabbi Israel Adler and the 'Nerenana' choir singing joyous songs. The event was skillfully moderated by Rabbi Tuvia Freund, a noted Talmudic author. Photographs of the event were provided by Kobi Katz.
