Tzfas Community Joins Yeshiva for Siyum HaRambam

Agudas Kiryas Chabad and Yeshivas Tzeirei Hashluchim of Tzfas hosted a Seudas Melava Malka and Farbrengen in honor of the recent Siyum HoRambam – the conclusion of the 32nd study cycle and the start of the 33rd, and marking 30 years since the start of the study regimen by the Rebbe.

The freshly reopened Yeshiva, with Bochrim from all over the world, has reached out to the English speaking community of the city, inviting them to an evening of celebration and unity.

Rabbi Zalman Kaplan, Rosh Yeshiva, opened the event by thanking all of those who took of their time to participate in an event so important to the Rebbe, and how by learning Rambam properly and doing our best to encourage others to join as well, we thereby connect ourselves to the Rebbe. He then invited Rabbi Levi Wolff, rov of the great Synagogue of Sydney, to tell a story of the Rebbe. He was followed by Rabbi Mottel Krasnjanski, a noted rabbi from Melbourne, Australia, who was honored to complete the Rambam.

The guest of honor, Rabbi Dovid Moshe Liberman, chief Rabbi of Antwerp, Belgium, started the new cycle of Rambam, and spoke of how beautiful it is to see the Bochurim in the Yeshiva spend a half hour of Seder each day studying the daily Rambam thoroughly, to the extent that some of them even take time out of their breaks to take tests on the Rambam learned as part of the Mivtza Rambam in the Yeshiva.

Rabbi Chaim Kaplan, Head Shliach of Tzfas, thanked the Talmidim Hashluchim for arranging the beautiful event, and encouraged the Anash present to frequent the Yeshiva and learn with the Bochurim.

The evening culminated with a Geshmake Farbrengen with Rabbi Binyomin Wolff Shliach to Finland, who inspired the Bochurim and Anash until the early hours of the morning. The crowd was encouraged to strengthen their learning of Rambam, and to strengthen their connection to the Rebbe in general.

It did not take long for Rabbi Wolff’s words to penetrate his listeners, by the end of the night, one of the Anash present has decided to join the daily Rambam study schedule of one Perek a day, when he was told that the Yeshiva has a Seder Rambam every day, he was quick to say that he would be there every day to learn with one of the Bochurim. By the next day Sunday afternoon, at 6:30pm, Menashe was already sitting in Zal learning Rambam with one of the Yeshiva students.
