Trebnik also marked the occasion by completing a masechta and making a siyum.

Shluchim from seven cities across Kazakhstan were then called to the stage in sequence, representing the network working to rebuild and expand Jewish life throughout the country. The ceremony concluded with Kazakhstan's Chief Rabbi and Head Shliach, Rabbi Yeshaya Cohen, lighting a yahrzeit candle l'iluei nishmas Harav Levi Yitzchok.

Those who registered are set to be included in a special pan with their families and will be mentioned at the tziyun for brachos and success. Names will continue to be brought to the tziyun every Rosh Chodesh.
