Organizers of the fifth Ma’amad Adirei HaTorah announced Thursday that this year’s event will begin earlier than in previous years, responding to the many requests that have come in from the oilam.

Doors at the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia will open at 3:00 PM, with Mincha at 4:30 PM.

The Ma’amad, to be held Sunday, May 31, will feature a keynote address by Harav Uri Deutsch shlit”a, Rav of Forest Park and one of the most sought-after local speakers and baal eitzos.

Organizers also announced that HaRav Yitzchok Soloveitchik shlit”a, one of the Ziknei Roshei HaYeshiva of this generation, will be traveling to the United States specially to honor the Ma’amad with his presence.
