FAQ’s for the Lomeid

What exactly do I need to learn in order to prepare for the Siyum?

The Siyum is on the entire Shas with Rashi. You are required to prepare the Dafim thoroughly with Rashi and have a good understanding of it. Make these Dafim a part of your life by learning them well and making a Kinyan.

Do I have to learn Tosfos and other Mefarshim?

Although you’re not required to, the more in depth you learn the Dafim the better. There is no end to the depths of the Yam Hatalmud and it is definitely commendable to add some mefarshim.

Can I learn with a Chavrusah and have him join me at the Siyum too?

Yes, please choose one of the following options.

1. My Chavrusa will join me for the learning and the Siyum, however, he does not want his name to appear on the Shasathon site.
I agree to up my commitment to raise or donate at least $10,000.

2. My Chavrusa will join me for the learning and the Siyum and we will share our web page slot, listing both of our names.
Together we commit to raise or donate at least $10,000.

3. My Chavrusa and I will sign up as individual Lomdim for the same Dafim. We will each have our separate fund raising goals and webpage.
We commit to raise or donate at least $5,000 each.

How many hours do I get to finish my slot on the day of the Siyum?

You will have over 6 1/2 hours to finish your slot excluding lunch and Mincha break. To make it easier on the Lomdim, coffee and light refreshments will be served throughout the day.

Will you have transportation to and from the event?

Transportation will be provided to and from the Siyum. We will contact you before the Siyum to finalize all the details.

What do I need to bring with me?

Nothing really. Lunch will be served as well as a full time coffee and refreshments room. We will have Gemaras for everyone however if you’d like any special Sforim please bring it with you or let us know beforehand and we can have it there for you.

By becoming a Lomeid what am I committing to?
