A “siyyum” is a celebration of the completion of the study of a rabbinic text. This celebration allows first-borns (“b’chorim”) to eat on the day before Passover. (Otherwise, it is traditional for them to fast.) Rabbi Gordon will complete her study of Mishna Moed Katan, with its exploration of the laws and customs of chol hamoed – the intermediate days of Passover. Completing the study of this rabbinic text is marked by a siyyum, a concluding ceremony that includes a festive meal. Participating in the siyyum exempts from the otherwise customary fast of the first born. All are welcome (even second and third born) for minyan, study and siyyum, and breakfast. Please RSVP to Melissa for breakfast by April 19. Click here to view on livestream. |
