In the large yeshiva 'Torat Avraham', headed by the Rabbi Zada, there was a class of dozens of concluding tractates from all parts of the Shas, which were studied by yeshiva students outside of the regular study schedule - within the framework of the 'Mishkemei Kom' kollel and Seder D' until the wee hours of the night.

The ceremony was attended by the Gram Tzedakah, the Rosh Yeshiva of Porat Yosef Geula, the Roshaltz, the Grasham Amar, and the rabbis of the yeshiva.

In the words delivered by the Gram Tzedakah, he emphasized the duty of the hour to study Torah with joy, vitality, and enthusiasm, especially now that there are signs of the Messiah.

The Gram Tzedakah added: "Our role today in yeshivot is not only to learn, but also to save soldiers. If the soldiers knew how much yeshivot students save them, they would stand up and ask that the Torah students study well. The more we study with desire and enthusiasm, the more we will save the soldiers.". 

The Rosh Yeshiva emphasized to the students that they have two great privileges: one, the very fact of being members of a holy yeshiva. And the second, that they are privileged to study in the yeshiva of Rabbi Zada, who instills in his students the joy and love of Torah.

Rishon LeZion, the Gersham Amar, encouraged the yeshiva students and said that when you see dozens of young men who are able to complete important tractates in Shas, it is a great joy. "However, you must remember that this is only a stepping stone and a stepping stone to continue further in Torah study.".

He also asked the yeshiva students to invest in the study of theology, which, he said, is the essence of the study.

Yeshiva head Rabbi Zada ​​thanked the great men of Israel for their participation and encouraged the yeshiva students, who are completing the tractates, to continue on the path of hard work, diligence, and joy in studying Torah, with a constant aspiration to ascend and transcend in the heights of Torah and reverence.
