The New Year’s Day event celebrated the completion of the reading of the 2,711-page Babylonian Talmud, a process that takes 7 1/2 years. The event was broadcast internationally, and New Jersey state police said there were no reports of security issues or problems related to the event as of late Wednesday afternoon. The last event at the stadium in 2012 drew about 90,000, organizers told The Record. The New York City region has been rocked by recent attacks on Jews. There also have been several street assaults in New York City in recent weeks.
