Hadran Alach 'Kol Hatorah Kulah'!

This most enigmatic sign - even to Talmidei Chachamim - was emblazoned on the screen at the D-City complex in Ma'ale Adumim last week. All 300 guests of Mr. and Mrs. Shlomo Perl and all the talmidei chachamim present were familiar with the first two words - they are recited at the conclusion of each tractate of the Talmud, or the conclusion of the entire Talmud. However, this sign declares the conclusion of 'Kol Hatorah Kulah' - the entire breadth of Torah scholarship! Yes, this gathering was to celebrate just that. The questions that all asked were: Who defined what 'Kol Hatorah Kulah' encompasses and how is this possible?

This is the great legacy of the Sar Hatorah, Maran Hagaon Hagadol Harav Chaim Kanievsky, ztk"l. The 'Kol Hatorah Kulah' project includes the following works PLUS their commentaries: The 24 sifrei Tanach, Talmud Bavli, Talmud Yerushalmi, Shishah Sidrei Mishnah, the Zohar, Tosefta, Sifra, Sifrei, all the Midrashim, Rambam, Shulchan Aruch and halachic works through to modern times and Sifrei Mussar.
