Last week, employees of Ram-Pel Communications celebrated a
siyum in honor of their completion of the Ein
Yaakov Seder Moed. The shiur is delivered daily to
company workers.
The idea for the shiur was suggested to the company's
director, Rami Peller, by Rav Shraga Zloshanski, who advised
him to set up a regular shiur in the wake of a number
of accidents which had befallen company workers. The director
accepted the idea. Every day in the afternoon, the workers
leave their desks and meet for a shiur in shemiras
haloshon and in Ein Yaakov. They then daven
mincha.
After years of study and the completion of Moed, the
director invited the employees and their families to a
seudas mitzvah in honor of the event.
At the seuda, Moed was first completed by the
maggid shiur. He then spoke about the great merit
accompanying this shiur and told about a special
siyum Shas that had once been held by HaRav Reuven
Zelig Bengis for his friends and family. HaRav Bengis seemed
unusually happy when he made that siyum. When they
asked HaRav Bengis what was special about that siyum,
he replied that his study had taken place at stray moments,
such as while waiting for a bus or at a wedding -- moments
which would have otherwise been wasted -- and that he was
happy that he had merited to complete the entire Shas
during this time that could have gone to waste.
"We have merited to participate in many siyum
celebrations, and I have no doubt that this siyum of
Zeroim and Moed is unique because we studied
during work hours."
He then thanked the company director, Rami Peller, in whose
merit and at whose expense the shiur is held, and said
that he is credited with the zechus of all of the
participants. He also praised Peller's wife who hosts the
shiur and provides the participants with
refreshments.
Rami Peller spoke with deep emotion about the merit of
organizing the shiur and thanked the maggid
shiur who, despite his numerous responsibilities,
delivers the shiur every afternoon.
R' Nissim spoke in the name of participants, thanking the
director and the maggid shiur for their tremendous
dedication.
