Reply To: Mechitza at the Siyum HaShas

squeak: It makes good business sense? Look at the past siyumim. They were bursting at the seams. More people wanted to attend, but there wasn’t enough room. I doubt they’d have any trouble selling out the stadium even without a mechitza.

A Heimishe Mom: at the past siyumim, they davened also. Are you implying that the tefillos at those siyumim were done improperly? An easy solution is to put the women in a different level than the men. If the women were in the upper deck, it would be considered a mechitza, wouldn’t it?
