Central Farbrengen for Chof Ches Sivan

Last Sunday night, the siyum of the first class of Machon Limud Halacha – Lemaan Yilmedu was celebrated. Semicha certificates were given out to sixty talmidim who successfully completed the course. In the beautiful Oholei Torah hall, the newly ordained rabbis gathered with their families who came from near and far to share in their simcha. They were greeted with a huge sign that announced that this was a “Chag Ha’Semicha” and the excited participants filled the hall • Full Story, Photos

Anash and Temimim celebrated lechatchila ariber with song and dance, while photographer Dov Ber Hechtman captured the celebration • Photos
