Frum weeklies, Newspapers, report on the Siyum Hashas 2012

No longer do we have to wait for the Jewish Observer or Dos Yiddish vort to report and see pictures of the Siyum. The leading frum weeklies and newspapers had more than a week to prepare and report on the Siyum Hashas. The Yated Hamodia Mishpacha  and Ami Magazine all feature the Siyum on the front cover.
 Yated Ne'eman has great coverage of many different aspects of the Siyum hashas. Articles by Rabbis Nosson Sherman and Reb Shmuel Bloom. An Interview with  Reb Shlomo Yehuda Rechnitz  of Los Angeles, noted Askan who was the emcee of the Siyum. He speaks about what it takes to deliver a speech to 100,000 people in a packed stadium. He admitted that he prepared his speech yet when he came to NY the day before the Siyum he began a new speech and some ideas even came to him during the siyum. Another extensive interview with Rabbi Golding who was director of operations. Many other articles and pictures, including reflections on Oorah's 2000 Siyum attendees. A report from the Ezras Noshim as well by A. Schreiber.

Hamodia has a  64 page special supplement on the 2012 Siyum hashas. Its a mix of historical articles on other siyumim that took place before the Churban.  They have all the speeches from the siyum transcribed and translated. Plus reflections from the Siyum  committee and many ads saluting and wishing mazel tov to the mesaymim.
