3rd Siyum
The 3rd Siyum HaShas was held on 19 November 1945 (14 Kislev 5706), with the main venues in Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Jerusalem. (The Siyum in Tel Aviv, attended by more than 3,000, was delayed one day due to the British-imposed curfew.) Coming as it did after the Holocaust, this Siyum was dedicated to the memory of the millions of Jews who had perished. A Siyum HaShas was also held in the displaced persons camp in Feldafing, Germany, by a small group of survivors.
In the United States, the Siyum was commemorated in the Boro Park section of Brooklyn, on Manhattan’s West Side, and in Detroit.
