Smarter people than you have dealt with that already, for centuries. Just do your homework.
Smarter people than me have also dealt with women learning Torah shebeal peh. My point is that not every Rambam is lemaysa today.

But anyway, my point that started all of this was just saying they could thank the families of melamdim rather than specifically the wives anyway as to not automatically disregard any women who learns, even Torah shebictav.

It didn't sound to me like they were disregarding anybody.

Any names? Maybe there is within the Modox community. Even in that case I understand why one wouldn't praise something he thinks is prohibited.

You are missing the boat. This ask is just like asking them to sing Hatikva.


People are not understanding what the event was about. It was about promoting men being קובע עיתים לתורה even more so than being about the Daf. Promoting women encouraging their husbands to do that is a very big part of it and was therefore pushed significantly. Women doing their own learning, regardless of your opinions about that, is not a part of that and therefore does not belong in the equation at all.

How does a kids siyum mishnayos fit into that theme if it's only about men being kovieh itim?

Not sure if it was discussed above,  but how many you guys know why they used a boat as a symbol for this year's siyum?

Was there really a need to give out three full-length magazines at the door? They couldn't have given out just one?

Not enough room for ads in only one.

Ads that had to be carried around in the cold for hours.

They advertised before that it was the most treasured memento after the last Siyum. I wonder how many people saved it this time.

Say better, why not just give out the mincha and maariv, as well as siyum meterial , and on the way out give everyone the three big fat books, that way people don't have to carry it around the whole time.

That women's magazine is fascinating. Whole section on how to bind a Gemara, and how to make siyum themed snacks!

One positive aspect of the magazines: Just as the stadium was one diverse sea of Jews united, the magazines were a collaboration of all Jewish newspapers and magazines. Yated, Hamodia, Mishpacha, Ami, and more, all had writers and editors working on it.

Not sure why people carried it around. I was sitting, not walking around. Btw, there was some MetLife employees giving out the bags with the material on the way out, too.
