Can one make a siyum on the Mishnah Berurah? Does one recite a Hadran on such a siyyum? What about Kaddish? These were the questions recently posed by the senior members of Dirshu’s hanhala to Rav Chaim Kanievsky, as the siyyum of the first Machzor of Daf HaYomi B’Halacha is just around the corner.
Rav Chaim replied that the last se’if kattan in the Mishnah Berurah should be said and yes, a Hadran should be recited, and regular Kaddish normally said after a siyum should also be recited. Major siyyumim will be held in six locations on five continents featuring leading Gedolei Yisrael who will attend and address the siyumim.
The major siyyum will take place at the Yad Eliyahu Stadium. Present will be Rav Aharon Leib Shteinman, Rav Chaim Kanievsky, the Belzer Rebbe, Rav Gershon Edelstein, Rav Shimon Baadani, the Vizhnitzer Rebbe, Rav Berel Povarski, Rav Yitzchok Scheiner, Many others are slated to attend. Stadium tickets have been sold out, and a large hall Binyanei HaUmah, the convention center in Yerushalayim, has been rented to provide an interactive session in sync with Yad Eliyahu, and other satellite sites are being organized to receive live streaming of the event in different parts of the country.
In the United States, the massive siyum will be held Shabbos, Parshas VaYakhel-Pikudei-Parah at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Stamford, Connecticut.
