Kiddushin 82 - Siyum Masechet Kiddushin

For the text of the Hadran ceremony, click here. For more information about What is a Siyum, click here. The Siyum is dedicated to the safety of our soldiers, residents of the South and the North, and the whole country, to the safe return of the captives, in memory of those who have fallen, and for a refuah shleima to all those injured. The Siyum is sponsored by Ilana Friedman in loving memory of her grandparents, Yehoshua and Malka Barber "After emerging from the fires of the Holocaust said, “We will never live in galut again!”  They came to Israel through hunger strikes in 1946 and fought to establish the State of Israel. They sent their sons in 1967 to get our holiest site back and in 1973 to preserve our land. May their zechut be our zechut as a nation to defend and return our people to artzeinu. This siyum is also dedicated to Rabbanit Michelle and all of the women of the Hadran community. בזכות נשים צדקניות נגאלו אבותנו.  May the merit of all the נשים צדקניות that have completed Seder Nashim hasten our geula." What professions are ideal? Which ones are frowned upon? Why? If we are successful in our careers, we must understand that our success is dependent on God. Theoretically, we should be able to sustain ourselves easily as even animals can, but our sins caused us to have to work hard at it. Why is it more important to teach your son Torah than to teach him a profession? Torah learning is eternal - it gives us strength in our youth and rejuvenates us when we grow old.
