A "siyyum" is a celebration of the completion of the study of a rabbinic text. This one allows first-borns ("b'chorim") to eat on the day before Passover.
(Otherwise, it is traditional for them to fast.) Rabbi Perkins will be completing his study of the talmudic tractate called "Hagigah,"
which includes mystical speculations. (He's saved a short snippet of text to study with us on Thursday morning.)
This year, because Passover begins on Friday night, the siyyum will be held on Friday morning.
All are welcome, even second-, third-, or fourth-borns!
Please RSVP if you plan on attending in-person to Melissa by April 13th. Click here to join us on Zoom.
