It is with great pleasure that after years of study together, we are nearing the end of Masekhet Berakhot. We expect to celebrate a siyum (the ritual conducted upon ending a masekhta of the Talmud) on Thursday June 13! If you have ever been part of our study group, you are invited to join with us for this happy event. We will meet upstairs to accommodate those who cannot negotiate the stairs. We will begin by reading the end of Masekhet Berakhot, recite the Hadran prayers said upon such an occasion, and then share a meal together. Please bring a dairy/veggie dish to share for our celebratory siyum meal togther.
