Siyum Hashas – Daf Yomi Through The Decades (1 Aug 2012)
There are a variety of celebratory events that incorporate music. One significant celebration is Siyum HaShas described in the documentary above, and the excerpts below from Wikipedia.
Description of Siyum HaShas from Wikipedia: “Siyum HaShas (Hebrew: סיום הש”ס, lit. “completion of the Six Orders [of the Talmud]”) is a celebration of the completion of the Daf Yomi (daily Talmud folio) program, a roughly seven-and-a-half-year cycle of learning the Oral Torah and its commentaries, in which each of the 2,711 pages of the Babylonian Talmud are covered in sequence – one page per day. The first Daf Yomi cycle began on the first day of Rosh Hashanah 5684 (11 September 1923); the thirteenth cycle concluded on 4 January 2020 and the fourteenth cycle began the following day, to be concluded on 7 June 2027.”
Description of Daf Yomi from Wikipedia: “Daf Yomi (Hebrew: דף יומי, Daf Yomi, “page of the day” or “daily folio”) is a daily regimen of learning the Oral Torah and its commentaries (also known as the Gemara), in which each of the 2,711 pages of the Babylonian Talmud is covered in sequence. A daf, or blatt in Yiddish, consists of both sides of the page. Under this regimen, the entire Talmud is completed, one day at a time, in a cycle of approximately seven and a half years. Tens of thousands of Jews worldwide study in the Daf Yomi program, and over 300,000 participate in the Siyum HaShas, an event celebrating the culmination of the cycle of learning. The Daf Yomi program has been credited with making Talmud study accessible to Jews who are not Torah scholars, contributing to Jewish continuity after the Holocaust, and having a unifying factor among Jews. Each day of the daily calendar, including Tisha B’Av, is included, and online audio versions of lectures are available.”
