The Agudah has made it clear that equal priority will be given to kiruv groups as Daf Yomi groups but that both are on a first-come-first-served basis. Orders should be submitted soon to ensure that your group will sit together and that your group gets the best seats available. For discounted seats for Kiruv organizations, please call Yechiel Horowitz at 973-221-3650 ext. 117. A copy of the seating schematic can be found by Clicking Here.
