The fifth annual Adirei HaTorah ma’amad will remain at Philadelphia’s Xfinity Mobile Arena after efforts to secure a larger venue ahead of the sold-out event were unsuccessful, BMG CEO Rabbi Yosef Heinemann announced Friday.

The update comes days after organizers confirmed they were exploring the possibility of relocating the May 31 gathering to a significantly larger venue following overwhelming demand for tickets, which sold out within four hours of release.

“We worked very hard this week to secure a larger venue for this year’s maamad,” Rabbi Heinemann wrote in a message addressed to Adirei Hatorah shul ambassadors. “Unfortunately, it did not work out. Gam zu litovah.”

The event is scheduled to take place at the former Wells Fargo Center, now known as Xfinity Mobile Arena, which seats just over 20,000 attendees. Organizers had been evaluating whether a larger facility could be arranged in time for the rapidly approaching ma’amad.

Despite the setback, Rabbi Heinemann said organizers are continuing efforts to expand attendance capacity within the existing venue.

“We are working with Xfinity Mobile Arena to open some more seats and we will know mid next week if we are matzliach and how many,” he wrote.
