Not Joining Daf Yomi? This is what you should do

All those  not joining today the new cycle of Daf Yomi should consider at least to start today's Daf so they can be full participants at the 14th Daf Yomi Siyum Hashas. The Shach ( Y.D. 246:27) quotes the Shu"t Maharam Mintz. ” The Minhag was for all Ba’alei Batim to attend the Yeshivah at the beginning of the Zman. To participate in the starting of the Mesechta When the Mesechta was completed they were invited again to the Siyum.”   According to the Shach,  participants of a Siyum should attend not only the completion of the Mesechta but also the  starting of the  Mesechta.
