Hundreds of thousands of Jews in the world will mark the "end of Shas on the daily page" on Saturday. This is the end of a seven-and-a-half-year cycle in which they study according to the Talmudic page of the Talmudic day from the Babylonian Talmud, according to a tradition that has been established over the past decades.

Behind the "Daily Page" initiative is Rabbi Meir Shapira, who proclaimed it almost a century ago, in August 1923, at the Haredi "Agudat Israel" rabbinical conference in Poland. He was only awarded the "Shas End" event of the first class, since Died ten years later, at only 46 years of age. Since his passing, the "daily page" idea has grown, and is now widely accepted throughout the Jewish world, which now marks the end of the 13th cycle of daily page study.

"Rabbi Shapiro's main idea was that when a Jew from any one country travels to another country, he could join the Gemara class in the same place, where learners are also on the same Gemara page where he is, that is - the Jewish world will be united every day around that Gemara page," Explains Rabbi Shlomo Rosenstein of the Torah organization "Darshu", which brings together tens of thousands of "daily page" students from Israel and from the world who are even being tested on what is being learned. Next week, the organization's students will be examined on no less than 2,711 Gemara pages.

Where is Epic among thousands in black and white

From Chanukah to Tu B'Shvat, huge events are being held around the world to mark the end of Shas. On Monday, the Shas El Ha'ayan movement held an event at the Pis Arena in Jerusalem, attended by thousands, at the center of which was Rabbi Shalom Cohen, head of the Shas Torah sages council. "He learned the last page of the Shas, ahead of the event, during the government meeting on Sunday," excited activists said at the event. This evening, the Shas Agudat of the "Agudat Israel" Hasidic will be held at the Hall of Arena in Jerusalem, with the participation of the great Admor, as well as another event of religious Zionism in the nation's buildings in Jerusalem, led by Rabbi Haim Druckman and Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu.

Journalist Yedidia Meir, who is on the mission of the Mizrachi movement in the US this year, came to Israel to guide the end of the religious end of Zionism. "It is especially exciting to come back for such a gathering, a gathering around the Torah," he says. "Religion" and whatnot - and you are yours, know that you have a meeting with my father every day. Know that between the wetsap and the collection of children from school, eternity awaits you. To celebrate such a thing with thousands of people together in one hall is just a privilege. "

It is an important thing that connects man every day to the Torah. Even when he goes out of business he knows that his main thing is Torah. The work is necessary, but the main thing is the Torah. "
