The organizers of Daf Yomi have announced that the 14th Global Siyum HaShas will take place on Sunday, June 6, 2027, at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
The Siyum, which marks the completion of the seven-and-a-half-year Daf Yomi cycle, will be a monumental celebration of the tens of thousands of Jews who have committed to daily learning of Talmud Bavli—early mornings, late nights, in hospital rooms, airport lounges, and everywhere in between.
This moment belongs to them: the maggidei shiur who prepare each daf with precision, the learners who whisper a chazarah between meetings, and the countless wives and children who stood behind them with patience, sacrifice, and pride. It’s a tribute to every drop of sweat and every tear shed over a blatt Gemara.
Organizers say the decision to announce the date this early is intentional—meant to honor those whose dedication to Torah never wavered through life’s trials and triumphs.
The Siyum will recognize not only the learners themselves, but also the families who made their consistency possible. Behind every mesayeim stands a support system—wives who urged, “Go learn, I’ve got this,” and children who waited quietly so Totty could finish his shiur. This Siyum is theirs, too.
More details, including registration and program information, will be released in the coming months (and years). For now, you can mark the date in your calendar.

getting this many yidden togethor is a complex feat , dif. ages want to see dif points stressed so here are a few of one regular guy i’ve happily attended a number bh
1. the dais, gedolim are the focal point and although last time 4 way arch was cute and wanted to make it even lemaseh there was no “rosh” if u went to citifield u saw a huge dais roishem…
2.the constant movement by all the people on the court, floor seats was terribly distracting , again by citifield it was clean grass and u focused
3 yiddish / english i understand both well, but for a big part of klal yisroel speaking their “lang” with all its nuances is important
4. klal yisroel has grown to a point that each shevet can fill a stadium , maybe its better to take 7 stadiums indoors , like barklay, MSG, nassau, fargo… this would allow each program to be tailored their language, their choice of speakers,.. their type of music… length of prog. and people can choose in advance , sefardim , yeshivish , american oilam etc.. it also would make for a shorter entry & exit and ease travel
5 i was ok with the weather … but i do feel it was hard to get in to it ( my chisaron) when you have a coat and gloves – the weather is a huge factor
maariv used to be the highlight!!! not complaining there was a lot of good but many many felt its becoming harder to feel euphoric
1.
I’m sure if you want to pay for all the venues, the Aguda will be happy to accommodate you.
Of course everyone’s going to have their complaints. The weather was too cold etc. But, the truth is, it comes out when it comes out. If you don’t like this one, wait another 7 years 5 months and 1 week, and then you’ll know when the next siyum is.
In the meantime, when I see the plans are already being made, I realize that today, Wednesday, is daf 1971, which means we have 800 to go!!!
If R’ Eli makes his own, they won’t need the stadium
My two cents from attending a few already. The program could be much more inspirational and exciting if we prioritize speakers that are inspiring and captivating rather than to choose speakers based on importance or diversity. Everyone loves a great speaker, even those you wouldn’t expect to and even if you don’t speak English as your best language and few can handle unengaging speeches not matter who it is. Please prioritize great speakers, exciting video content etc. Most people and especially kids don’t have the patience to sit for hours if the content is not engaging regardless of who it is speaking and what his background. It is not necessary either to either bring in someone from the other end of the world if we have someone who will be more inspirational to me, the average baal habos that learns the daf, and who I can relate to, and is right over here even if you didn’t previously consider him to be worthy. I mean this in the most respectful way. That is if you want us types to attend. And please don’t hide the program roster until the last minute. Full transparency please so we can be informed customers. Thanks for the hard work and hope this should be a great success.
the ad says “Yidden”. I hope the organizer stand by their word and actually invite talmidei chachamim other than from Agudah. The last siyum was both inspiring and disappointing. It is like learning Gemora with Rava but without Abaye.
If you share this sentiment, I suggest contact organizers and your local daf yomi groups to make sure we have a siyum together.
MeirG,
Since we don’t know who you are, can you tell us if you finished Shas yet after attending multiple times?
Simply curious.

Aaq,
That’s like saying OU’s forums should have Lakewood Roshei yeshivos
Let me explain a bit more
1 aguda tried so hard, to bring dif ideas together, to make an aguda achasso many bases to cover, kiruv, shoah, kids, mesayemim, lkwd , press, woman..chassidim..and a fundraiser as well to cover aguda chovos…it’s just impossible, it wud be way easier each location with its team.. cut the travel time …
Imagine five towns in Nassau calosium..rav feiner, rav shechter, r bender..r moshe weinberger.. guest rav dovid grossman…music.. eitan katz,newcomb..
Msg. 5 boros plus, main one. Felt forum
Barkalys, chassidish brooklyn cover the aguda chassidus, ger, belz , viznitz, klois, boyan, stolen, slonim….
Fargo. Similar to adirei…
Meir g,
You sound like a Far Rockawayer
