Rabbi Shmuel Lesches, Maggid Shiur in Yeshiva Gedola of Melbourne, Australia, has compiled a guide to the laws and customs of Rosh Hashanah and the Ten Days of Teshuva, Blowing Shofar and Tzom Gedalia for the benefit of the wider Lubavitch community.
The Maggid had 120 outstanding talmidim. However, there were other great talmidei chachomim who came to the Maggid, but for reasons known to him, they weren’t accepted as his students. Some of them returned home; however, others refused to be denied. If they wouldn’t be accepted as a talmid, they would serve as a shammas. They would clean the beis hamidrash and take care of errands. They would learn from the great Maggid through serving him.
