On March 15, 2017, the Yeshiva University community celebrated a massive Siyum HaShas in honor of Rav Hershel Schachter’s 50 years as Rosh Yeshiva at RIETS. Alumni and students joined together from each of YU’s Torah studies programs for a day of unified learning. After tributes from Rabbi Mordechai Willig on behalf of the faculty and Rabbi Tanchum Cohen on behalf of the Schachter family, Rav Schachter led the siyum and kaddish, followed by energetic dancing.
