    Shas is 6 sedarim which includes zeraim and
    taharos. The daf yomi does not include most of
    zeraim and taharos therefore there won’t be
    a siyum hashas tonight

  5. It is now 12:14 AM and I am listening to the siyum on 107.9 FM (Lakewood) and the siyum is almost over. I thought it would be over by 11:00 PM. I guess by Jewish time, it’s right on time!
