The upcoming Adirei HaTorah maamad at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia has officially sold out—in just three days—setting a new record for the much-anticipated event celebrating the kavod haTorah and the dedication of bnei Torah. By comparison, last year’s event, which drew a crowd of over 30,000, took 12 days to sell out. Organizers said on Sunday evening that while the main seating is completely booked, a few hundred obstructed-view seats still remain available for those hoping to attend. The highlight of this year’s Maamad will be a keynote address from Harav Ezriel Auerbach shlit”a, one of the most revered poskim in Eretz Yisroel. A son of Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach zt”l and a son-in-law of Rav Yosef Shalom Elyashiv zt”l, Rav Ezriel shlit”a serves as the Rav of Kehillas Chanichei HaYeshivos in Bayit Vegan. Following the petirah of his brother, Rav Shmuel Auerbach zt”l, and Rav Asher Deutsch zt”l, Rav Ezriel has emerged as a guiding force for thousands of talmidei chachamim and yungeleit worldwide, offering his daas Torah and leadership to a new generation of bnei Torah.
