T

he graduating class of
Hillel Day School of
Metropolitan Detroit
ended eight years there by
completing a chapter of religious
study — vihile beginning new chap-
ters in their lives.
After years of intensive Judaic
study, the 78 eighth-graders celebrat-
ed, studied and, most importantly,
enjoyed a seudat siyum, a breakfast
celebration to mark siyum, a comple-
tion of a segment of Torah study.
For the final three weeks of school,
the students were learning Chapter 2
of Pirkei Avot, (Ethics of Our
Fathers). On June 8, they gathered
with friends, family and faculty to
study the end of the chapter together.
They gathered as an entire Hillel
community, led by Rabbi Scott
Bolton, Hillel's director of communi-
ty learning. This siyum marks the
beginning of a Hillel tradition.
Throughout the year, the eighth
grade has been studying with local
Conservative rabbis and educators,
said Aviva Silverman of Farmington
Hills, head of Hillel's Judaic studies.
Silverman, along with Rabbi
Bolton, developed a program based
on the beit midrash (house of study).
Every Friday the eighth-graders
would gather in small groups and
study together with clergy. The siyum
was implemented as a conclusion to
the studies.
Rabbi Bolton explained to the 300
gathered in the Farmington Hills
school's chapel-gym: "As Rabbi
Tarfon would teach, you are not
required to finish the work, yet you
are not free to desist from it."
After a student-led minyan (prayer
quorum), a welcome by Silverman,
various readings by parents and stu-
dents and then Kaddish, graduating
eighth-grader Rachel Welford of
Franklin spoke of friendships and the
future. The siyum celebration ended
with the singing of both the
American and Israeli national
