The BMG administration tells TLS (TheLakewoodScoop.com) that Rav Uri Deutsch Shlita, Rav of Forest Park, Lakewood, will serve as the keynote speaker at the upcoming 2026 Adirei HaTorah event.

The event, which is expected to draw tens of thousands in celebration of support for lomdei Torah, is scheduled to take place on Sunday, May 31, 2026, at the Xfinity Mobile Arena — formerly known as the Wells Fargo Center.

Organizers said extensive efforts were made over the past several days to secure a larger venue in light of overwhelming public demand, however, FIFA-related restrictions and venue control surrounding upcoming World Cup events made it impossible to secure a larger location for this year’s ma’amad.

At the same time, Adirei HaTorah organizers said they continue to work closely with the Wells Fargo Center to secure additional seating at the current venue. Organizers noted that donors will receive first rights to any additional seats that become available.

Adirei HaTorah has rapidly become one of the largest Torah gatherings in the United States, bringing together participants from across the country for an evening dedicated to honoring Torah.
