Shas Chabura
In Rav Chaim Kanievsky’s letter – read in his presence during his recent, historic visit to the Yeshiva – he mentioned that while it is wonderful that so many are learning the masechtos of Nashim and Nezikin, there is a need to know Shas in its entirety. One of the Mir’s crown jewels is the Shas Chabura, headed by Hagaon Harav Binyomin Carlebach Shlita. The chabura is comprised of approximately 125 avreichim, each of whom learns five blatt a day. About one hundred of these avreichim learn one new daf each day, and do chazarah on another four dapim, thus completing the entire Shas at least five times. The remaining twenty-five or so members – talmidei chachomim of the highest caliber – learn five new dapim every day, completing the entire Shas in a little over two years. A recent Siyum Hashas by this elite group during the Aseres Yemei Teshuva was truly a chashuve event, with a beautiful seuda catered by the Yeshiva.
