Each year, hundreds of bochurim join Shiur Daled to spend a year learning in the Rebbe’s daled amos. This year, under the leadership of Rabbi Elchonon Lesches, Menahel of Shiur Daled, a comprehensive Mivtza Torah program challenged participants to master the entire masechta while taking rigorous written tests throughout the year.
Because Bava Kamma is one of the longest and most demanding masechtos in Shas, known for its complex sugyos, the goal initially seemed ambitious.
“Many of the chapters in Bava Kamma are challenging and demand a high level of engagement,” said Rabbi Lesches, “There was concern that only a small number of bochurim would commit to such an undertaking. Instead, these bochurim used every spare moment to learn, completing the masechta baal peh in just nine months and elevating the atmosphere of learning throughout the Zal.”
The Mivtza was coordinated by Rabbi Menachem Mendel Wolvovsky, Shiur Daled Maggid Shiur, who established the learning schedule and prepared and graded the biweekly examinations. “Day after day, after regular seder, the bochurim remained fully immersed in the sugyos, constantly reviewing, asking questions, and pushing themselves to keep pace,” he said.
In recognition of their dedication, participants who maintained outstanding test averages received a $236 cash award, corresponding to the 236 amudim of Meseches Bava Kamma, while additional participants who successfully completed the program received prizes in recognition of their achievement.
The Siyum was made by HaTomim Yaakov Finkelstein of Johannesburg, South Africa, who expressed heartfelt appreciation to the Hanhalah for creating a framework that inspired consistent growth and achievement. The celebration served as a powerful testament to the extraordinary diligence, perseverance, and hasmadah of the bochurim, and to the vibrant atmosphere of Torah that defines the Beis Medrash of Oholei Torah.
