Seven years ago I attended the beautiful Siyum HaShas at MetLife Stadium.
It was a huge Kiddush Hashem.
Yet this time around, the feeling is somewhat tempered by the commercialization and selling of VIP seating.
In my opinion, those who learned Daf Yomi should be given free seats on the field, and all others should be given seats on a first come, first served basis.
Selling Suites for thousands of dollars does not sit well with me and what the Agudah stands for.
