The Union of Yeshiva Students' gathering at the Beit Shemesh amphitheater, headed by senior rabbis, is being livestreamed. Thousands are participating in designated sections according to their yeshiva.
The large yeshiva gathering in Beit Shemesh, which has been in preparation over recent days, is now underway this evening (Tuesday, 20:20 Jerusalem) with a live broadcast streaming on YouTube. Thousands of yeshiva students are attending in designated sections at Amphi Park, with leading rabbis of the generation headlining the event.
On Saturday night (Aug 8, 22:22 Jerusalem), The Zioneer first reported on the preparations, detailing that Mayor Shmuel Greenberg and the Union of Yeshiva Students were behind the initiative. A later report by Israel Cohen that same evening described the setup of a giant stage and thousands of chairs at the venue, ahead of the third-cycle completion ceremony of the 'Talmudo Beyado' program. The Union of Yeshivas had printed thousands of volumes for the cycle, and the event was produced by Baruch Freund.
Earlier rehearsals for the ceremony were held at the mayor's home, featuring singers Benzi Stein and Yoeli Dickman, as previously reported. The gathering is organized in collaboration with the Beit Shemesh municipality, with participants arranged in sections according to their yeshiva.
No further details on the exact number of attendees or statements from the event have been released at this time.
