Meoros HaDaf HaYomi is working on arranging a massive Daf Yomi event, bringing 100,000 Yidden to the Kosel Hamaarovi for a Daf Yomi shiur.
At this massive shiur, attendees would be divided up into 1,000 groups of 100 people each, and along with learned the Daf Yomi, they would also get, free of charge, tours of the area, including the Kosel tunnels.
Meoros HaDaf HaYomi has already run a pilot of this concept with 150 people, which they say was a success.
Obviously, 100,000 is a far greater task, and only time will tell whether they will be able to pull off this feat.
The project, called “Connecting With The Holy of Holies,” is aimed at “bringing 100,000 people to the Kosel for a shiur in Gemara at the holiest place of the Jewish Nation,” a poster for The event says.

what’s the “mekor” for such a shiur? are they politicizing the daf???
What is the purpose of these gatheringsbesides publicity
Wow
Awesome idea
and start rebuilding the bais hamikdash once and for all!!!!
Publicity is a GOOD reason. Don’t be so negative. This is Torah we are talking about! Why would we not want to publicize it?
1 and 2, do you have the same opinion about the siyum hashas? if not, why not?
and #1 in case you arent kidding last weeks parsha has the mekor only instead 100,000 people there were over 6 times that many, good enough mekor?
Where is the mekour?
“Ki miTziyoun taytzay Touroh ud’var HaShem miY’rusholoyim!”
Enough said!
glad to see people have time there
who needs a mekor to try to get a lot of people to come to a shiur? if you read the promotional material you will see that the goal is by having such an exciting event they are hoping more and more people will join shiurim and learn daf yomi.
for that you need a mekor?
where on this poster does does it say about 100,000 people?
Next year well have daf yomi with pizza and a coke, is this better or worse for kovod hatorah.
yankel if you really understood what maamad har sinai was, you would be embarrassed to make such a comparison
#10: Did you look at the poster? It’s right there in the grey shaded box, the third line of the second paragraph in the announcement!
