Siyum HaShas - 4th Siyum

4th Siyum

The 4th Siyum HaShas on 13 April 1953 (28 Nisan 5713) also had its main venue in Israel. An estimated 10,000 gathered for the main event in Mea Shearim, following local siyums and speeches by leading rabbis in over half a dozen Jerusalem synagogues. Thousands attended the Siyum HaShas in Tel Aviv and danced afterwards at the central bus station. Well-attended Siyums also took place in Bnei Brak, Petah Tikva, Haifa, and Tiberias.

In New York City, the 4th Siyum HaShas was celebrated at the Young Israel of Boro Park, in Bensonhurst, Brownsville, Manhattan's West Side, and The Bronx.
