CHAGIGAH 27 (Grand Siyum of Moed!) - dedicated by Rabbi Ari and Esther
Maryles of Chicago in memory of his grandfather, Rav Shimon Maryles zt'l. He
survived the destruction of European Jewry, living through immense suffering
with endless trust in Hashem, and he rebuilt a family committed to Torah and
Mitzvos.
