On Wednesday, December 1, Chazaq held a Chanukah Mesibah to celebrate the completion of Maseches Makos by the students of Rav Michael Mansour’s morning shiur at Chazaq’s Yeshiva Beis Nosson Meir. The participants enjoyed a catered sit-down meal for both men and women, which took place in the ballroom of Khal Nachlas Yitzchok. It was a night of celebration, featuring music, food, and dancing, alongside words of chizuk and brachah delivered by the esteemed Kalever Rav and Rav Dovid Goldwasser in honor of the siyum.
