Farbrengen Has Immediate Effect

Agudas Kiryas Chabad and Yeshivas Tzeirei Hashluchim of Tzfas hosted a Melava Malka in honor of the recent Siyum Harambam conclusion of the 32nd study cycle and the start of the 33rd, and marking 30 years since the start of the Takono by the Rebbe to learn Rambam.

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

Rosh Yeshiva Rabbi Zalman Kaplan opened the event by thanking all of those who took of their time to participate in an event so important to the Rebbe, and said 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, Shliach to the great Synagogue of Sydney, to tell a story of the Rebbe. He was followed by Rabbi Mottel Krasnjanski a noted teacher of 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 Mivtzah 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 an enjoyable Farbrengen with Rabbi Binyomin Wolff, Shliach to Finland, who inspired the bochurim and Anash till 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 affect his listeners. By the end of the night, one of the Anash present decided to join the daily study schedule of one chapter of Rambam.

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. The next day, Sunday, he was already sitting in Zal learning Rambam.
