We know that many have the custom to make siyumim during the Nine Days—because this is our greatest way of strengthening the Shechinah. We give thanks and we express joy for having merited to be Yidden and for having the ability and the privilege to be pure and holy.
The Beis Aharon of Karlin once said that when a Yid returns from the street and wasn’t challenged with forbidden sights, R”l, he must take out a violin and sing praises to the Ribbono shel Olam. This joy is what draws light to the neshamah, giving it the fortitude to march forward. One must dance, and one must give kiddush... to express, in a most real and practical way, our gratitude to the Ribbono shel Olam for every success in kedushah—and this will enable to us to be triumphant, be’ezras Hashem.
