The story on TLS about the pic:

The attached shot of the Siyum Hashas, taken by Hudi Greenberger of Lakewood, was stitched together from over 70 individual shots, which were taken for this purpose. The full resolution of the final picture, is a whopping 90,000 X 8,400 pixels. At that resolution, you can print a picture at full quality (300dpi) to the tune of 63”X28” and you can actually see detail in people’s faces on the other side of the stadium. For comparison, a 12 megapixel camera takes pictures at 4,290px X 2,800px and has a max print size at 300dpi of about 14”X 9”.

Hudi relates his Siyum Hashas experience and talks about this amazing photo.

“My father was, b’h, one of the Mesaymim, so I didn’t want to leave our family (which was mostly sitting together) to go be a ‘photographer’ for this amazing evening. Sometimes it’s more important to take in the moment, than to be busy capturing it… So I brought my camera in mind to take just this one (or 70?) shot. We were sitting right under the Jumbotron to the left side in this picture (I am actually able to recognize my father and brothers in the picture because I knew where we were sitting!). So I walked around to mid-field (around section 235 or so) and looked at few angles until I decided which one I wanted to shoot from. Fiddled with the setting, took the shots in succession, and went back to where my family was sitting. The whole thing took me about 15mins.”

Hudi continues, “The Siyum was so explosively amazing… nothing like I’ve ever experienced before. I wanted my picture to capture the vastness of over 90,000 Yidden sitting together b’yachdus and sharing a Simcha like no other.”

“Despite the famous adage, ‘A picture is worth more than a thousand words’, this picture – no picture for that matter – cannot capture that tremendous, overpowering emotion and simcha that I felt sitting there witnessing this beautiful Kidush Hashem together with my fellow Yidden. For that, there are simply no words. However, for those that were there, a picture can serve as a reminder that will bring back those emotions. Every time I look at it, it chokes me up… One woman (who was there) emailed me that she was so overcome with emotion after seeing this picture that she burst in to tears!”

“I hope and pray to see you by the 13th Siyum Hashas iy”H in Yerushalayim, where you and I will be amongst the ranks of Mesaymim!”

I'm envisioning you peeking at JJ's Tefillin bag, and stoking your chin (beard?)

Beautiful idea and I'm impressed with your attitude. I was thinking about live streaming it but arrived very late due to traffic and then when I thought I'm parking they made me drive up to another entrance and wait for 25 min until they could accept my cc.
It was a great inspiration and a uplifting event beautiful speeches specifically from rabbi frand and rabbi scheiner andrabbi law

  Who was he yelling at?  He seemed very angry, did he eat breakfast that morning?
As one blogger wrote "[he] looked like he was rehearsing in the mirror".

Wow, and that guy who was Baal Tefilla for Maariv.. 

The two of them should open a Yeshiva together 

Who played the keyboard?  Or perhaps better not ask..

Helfgot and R' Lau were great at what they do, as usual


BTW, I was greatly inspired (like most others) by this magnificent event, and the above doesn't reflect my general feelings..

seems like someone skipped his breakfast - galitzyaner.

It baffled me why he was yelling.  It wasn't the sort of shouting of e.g. a Chassidshe Admu"r which would be more like wailing, neither was it the type of Mussar scream that I'd imagine.  He seemed to be shouting like an angry school principal etc...

Look, I don't know if he was a paid speaker, as I wrote, he looked like he was rehearsing in the mirror.

Maybe It's all part of his show, dunno..
