The fifth annual Ma’amad Adirei HaTorah will feature a satellite location for the first time in the event’s history, organizers told Lakewood Alerts, after demand for seats far outstripped the capacity of the central venue at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia.

Details of the satellite location have not yet been announced, though organizers said the tickets will be cheaper than those at Xfinity Mobile Arena, with subsidized tickets priced at $18, $36, $54, and $72. Organizers have not yet announced when the tickets will go live for purchase.

Tickets to the maamad sold out within four hours on Lag BaOmer, prompting organizers to begin searching for alternatives. Their initial effort was to move this year’s maamad to a larger venue altogether, but those attempts did not bear fruit.

Instead, organizers have arranged for a satellite location, allowing many of those who were shut out of the Philadelphia venue to participate in the maamad.

The Ma’amad, to be held Sunday, May 31, will begin earlier than in previous years in response to widespread requests from the oilam. Doors at Xfinity Mobile Arena will open at 3:00 PM, with Mincha at 4:30 PM.

This year’s event 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 baalei 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.
