Dear Friends, 
 In a matter of days we will celebrate the Yom Tov of Shavuos, a commemoration of the day in which we stood, K'ish Echad B'lev Echad and were Mekabel the Torah. In a less than a year - on January 1st, 2020 – Klal Yisroel will join together for another celebration of Achdus and Torah as we celebrate the 13th Siyum HaShas of Daf Hayomi. Over 200,000 people are expected to participate, and the Kiddush Hashem will be unprecedented.

In anticipation of the incredible celebration of Jewish unity and Limud Hatorah that the Siyum represents, Agudas Yisroel has launched two programs: Chavrei HaSiyum, a framework to encourage every person to increase their own learning and Masmidei HaSiyum, an initiative aimed at increasing the excitement of our Tinokos Shel Bais Rabban.
 
Currently Chavrei HaSiyum has over 95 Shuls and over 4,000 members signed up, with more being approached and committing every week. To learn more, click here.
 
Masmidei HaSiyum has nearly 30,000 children signed up and we are on track, Be'ezer Hashem, to surpass our original goal of 50,000 children! To learn more click here.
 
Of course, we cannot forget the reason we have the Siyum in the first place.To honor those that rain or shine, home or traveling, set aside time every day without fail to learn the Daf. The Agudah, through its Daf Yomi Commission, has taken on the role of encouraging and supporting the Lomdei HaDaf not only on the occasion of a Siyum Hashas, but for the other 2710 days of the cycle as well. The Commission's National Director, Rabbi Eliyahu Simcha Bamberger is hard at work supporting new shiurim, organizing a Siyum in a different community for every Mesechta, disseminating resources for Magedei Shiurim, and organizing relevant learning materials and programs. For more information, you can reach R' Bamberger at EBamberger@agudathisrael.org
 
Even if you are one of nearly two thirds of Daf Yomi learners that do not attend a Shiur, there is still a lot the Daf Yomi Commission can offer you, as everyone who attended the recent R' Yisroel Belsky Chulin initiative can attest.
 
Finally, stay tuned as tickets to the Siyum are going on sale soon!

Wishing you a wonderful Yom Tov!

Warmly,
Naftali 
How Does The Agudah Impact You?
Daf Yomi/Siyum HaShas
The Siyum HaShas
AGUDAH DELEGATION OVERSEAS TRIP PROMOTES TORAH AND ACHDUS
With preparations for the upcoming 13th Global Siyum HaShas well underway, the excitement for this monumental kiddush Sheim Shamayim has gone international, with a delegation of Agudas Yisroel representatives visiting Mexico, Panama, France and Belgium.
"We met with these various kehillos to invite them to the Global Siyum HaShas," said Shmuel Yosef Rieder, member of the Agudah's Board of Trustees, "and to have them join in the Torah study initiatives – specifically the Daf Yomi Chaburah program, Chavrei HaSiyum, and Masmidei HaSiyum – that have been launched under the direction of the Moetzes Gedolah Hatorah of Agudas Yisroel."
MASMIDEI HASIYUM: CHILDREN TAKE AN ACTIVE PART IN THE SIYUM HASHAS
Have You Heard?
If not, you will. It is on its way – to your yeshiva, your school, your child.
What is it?
Agudas Yisroel's learning initiative that is changing the world for our children:
 The Masmidei HaSiyum Program. Recently unveiled at yeshivos and chadorim everywhere, this ground-breaking program has already been met with tremendous enthusiasm.
 A Look Back – A Look Forward
It's hard to believe it was almost seven years ago, but remember the last Siyum HaShas? For many, the most stirring and heartwarming parts of that global siyum were the moments when the youngest children – our precious kinderlach from across the world- sang together and joined in The Siyum to be part of kedushas Limud HaTorah along with the tens of thousands of mesaymim.
Daily Commitment, Daily Impact
Yossi Gleiberman has heard every excuse in the book. And he doesn't fall for any of them.
The Flatbush native, a father, grandfather, and businessman, has been learning Daf Yomi for more than 30 years, 20 of those as a Daf Yomi maggid shiur, and producing popular rhyming review videos of a number of masechtos (see songsofshas.com). He says if he can stick to the Daf Yomi schedule, anyone can.
By the Numbers:
Daf Yomi and Siyum HaShas
60+ The percentage of Daf Yomi Lomdim that do not attend a Shiur

100+ Cities that participated in the Siyum HaShas

300 The number of attendees at the 6th Siyum HaShas in 1968

1000+ Daf Yomi Shiurim across the U.S.A

1923 The year the first cycle began

2711 days in the Daf Yomi cycle

200,000 anticipated number of participants in the upcoming Siyum HaShas
