Tribute to a Global Vision for the Siyum HaShas: Marking the Yahrtzeit of Rabbi Moshe Sherer zt�l

With preparations for the upcoming Siyum HaShas on January 1, 2019 at MetLife Stadium well underway, we take a moment to mark the yahrtzeit today of Rabbi Moshe Sherer zt�l, legendary leader of Agudas Yisroel.

Rabbi Sherer was one of the visionaries who foresaw the growth of Daf Yomi and the Siyum HaShas, believing back in the 1980s that a larger venue would be needed for this once-in-seven-and-a-half-years event.

�More than a celebration,� Rabbi Sherer proclaimed at the Siyum HaShas almost four decades ago, �it is a powerful demonstration of the nitzchiyus of Torah, of netzach Yisroel lo yeshaker.�

The explosion of Daf Yomi is credit, in large part, to Rabbi Sherer, who saw the potential and growth of the program.

The following video provides a glimpse into that vision, tracing it from the Siyum HaShas in the Felt Forum to the present-day – The Siyum at MetLife Stadium.
