Picture of the Day: Siyum for Bechorim

A group of Bechorim [first-borns] listen to a Siyum on the balcony of 770. Male first borns over the age of Bar Mitzvah (13) are obligated to fast on the 14th of Nissan, in recognition of the fact that during the “Plague of the Firstborn” (which occurred at midnight of Nissan 15) G-d “passed over” the Jewish firstborn when He killed all firstborn Egyptians.
