Siyum HaShas is known woldwide as the major event organized by the Agudas Yisroel upon the completion of the 2,711 pages of the Babylonian Talmud. Participants in this program study the Talmud for seven full years, doing one page a day.
So upon hearing of a program to finish the entire Talmud in one day, it sounded something unreal and "undoable", but this is how the program works as explained by Rabbi Heinkin, Founder and President of Chevrah Lomdei Misnah.
Chevrah Lomdei Mishnah provides all Yahrzeit and Jewish Mourner's services, such as Kaddish, Yizkor, Tehillim/Psalms and Talmud services. Their latest addition of services is very unique and is nonequivalent to any other program. Chevrah Lomdei Mishnah has recruited a large group of Torah Scholars who are ready at any time to complete a portion of the talmud that was initially assigned to them. When someone contacts Chevrah Lomdei Mishnah for the event of a Yahrzeit, the scholars sit down and complete their portion, enabling the completion of Shas on the day of the yahrzeit.
Scholars are finished with their portion at 3:00pm, which enables the son of the deceased or any other relative or friend to do a Siyum at the gathering made in the memory of the deceased.
The greatest part of this program is that it was all done on the day of the Yahrtzeit which is a great benefit for the soul of the deceased.
So completing the entire Shas in one day is possible? Yes it is, in fact it's completed in a half a day period, since the scholars are done by 3:00pm.
