It’s the announcement that sends a surge of excitement through every Daf Yomi learner, every Daf Yomi maggid shiur, every dedicated wife and child who supported the journey: The 14thGlobal Siyum HaShas will take place, iy”H, on Sunday, June 6, 2027, at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
But this is more than an announcement.
This isn’t a logistics update.
This isn’t about location or programming or ticket sales.
It’s a tribute.
This is about them.
The ones who carry the Gemara into hospital rooms and on redeye flights, who whisper a chazarah between meetings, who get up at 4 a.m. or stay up past midnight—not for applause, not for recognition, but for one reason alone: because Torah is life.
The announcement comes now, two years ahead of time, for one central reason: to honor the heroes of the Daf. The day is theirs. The stadium is theirs. The celebration is theirs. Every word of Gemara, every line of Rashi, every back-breaking sugya they plowed through—it all leads to this moment.
They didn’t learn to be celebrated.
But they will be.
Because every page turned by a Daf Yomi adherent, every shiurdelivered before Shacharis, every daf completed despite exhaustion, is a declaration of kabbolas ol Torah.
It’s the tears of ameilei Torah falling like dew on the pages of a well-worn Gemara. It’s the soft cries of children who tiptoed past the room where Totty was deep in the sugya. It’s the whispered reminders from a devoted wife who urged, “You go out to learn. I’m okay.”
It’s their day too.
Because no siyum happens in a vacuum. Every mesayein stands on a foundation of sacrifice, of patience and pride. For every man who learns the Daf, there’s a wife who made it happen. For every chaburah, there’s a child who waited so that Totty could finish the shiur. This Siyum is theirs just as much.
Announcing the date now gives The Siyum organizers the ability to prepare.
To prepare to give kavod—to the people behind it.
To start thinking not only about how to run a program, but how to express our collective hakoras hatov.
To build something that reflects the greatness of those it honors.
So mark the date.
But more than that—mark the meaning.
June 6, 2027, won’t just be another Siyum. It will be a page in Jewish history inked with the ahavas haTorah of those who refused to miss a day, who prioritized Torah in a world screaming for distraction.
It will be a celebration of those who lived with the Daf for 7-½ years and let it shape their lives.
