Siyum Hashas

This Tuesday, my birthday (English, at least), is the Siyum HaShas. I am honored ;)

I just want everyone to go and see R' Pinchus Lipshutz's blog on it. It's beautiful. For those of you who won't click the link normally, you should. He writes about the hundreds of thousands of people, who, every day, get up earlier, stay up later, prioritize their day so they can learn a blatt of Gemora. He writes about Klal Yisroel's absolute love for Torah and how no matter what others try to do to us, we still continue. To learn, to grow, to serve Hashem.

I certainly was not one of those learning a daf a day, but to all those who do, thank you for keeping the world standing. You are absolutely amazing.

Look here:

And click on "English Video." It's an intro, not the actual daf.

Try it, you'll like it... ;)

I like the "what am I learning vs. what am I battling..." It's the RIGHT perspective!

Heimisher-I'm confused. What's your question?
