This year’s Dirshu International Convention, to be held on Shabbos Parshas Bo, January 11-13, at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Stamford, Connecticut, will be addressed by leading gedolei Yisrael and will feature numerous new innovations intended to provide much guidance and chizuk to the lomdei Dirshu and their wives.

The climax of the Shabbos will be the grand melava malka on Motzei Shabbos where a siyum on Chelek Gimmel of Mishnah Berurah that has just been concluded in Dirshu’s popular Daf HaYomi B’Halacha program, will be made. At the grand melava malka, plans for Dirshu’s World Siyum will be unveiled. The siyumim will begin with massive siyumim in Eretz Yisrael, followed by England, France and South Africa, and culminating in a enormous siyum at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, in mid-February 2020.

One of the important highlights in the course of the Shabbos will be a riveting shailos and teshuvos session right before Kabbalas Shabbos with Rav Reuven Feinstein. Rav Feinstein will answer a wide array of hashkafa questions, quoting liberally from the mesorah that he received directly from his illustrious father, the posek hador of the previous generation, HaGaon HaRav Moshe Feinstein, zt”l.
