The annual Tzama events at Binyanei Hauma in Yerushalayim are currently underway, drawing tens of thousands of participants from across the country. Held in honor of Yud Tes Kislev – the Rosh Hashana L’Chassidus – the event is now in its 16th year, organized by Rabbi Moshe Shilat.

Attendance records were broken early on, with nearly 40,000 people visiting the complex within the first 72 hours. The schedule features musical performances, farbrengens, shiurim, a massive seforim fair, and exhibitions.

The highlight of the event was the central musical performance featuring Avraham Fried, Akiva, Benaia Barabi, and Motty Steinmetz. The concert combined niggunim with inspirational segments and a high-end visual production.

In light of the security situation, the program included content drawing parallels between the faith of hostages returned from captivity and teachings of Chassidus.

Morning sessions were dedicated to the youth, with thousands of students from schools and Yeshivos participating in educational programs. A key component was the Lev Ladaas project, which tests students on their knowledge of Sifrei Chassidus.

The event also hosts a massive book fair, with hundreds of thousands of Sifrei Chassidus available for purchase.
