On Wednesday, 26 Iyar, hundreds of men, women and children, Rabbonim, Anash, Shluchim, Bochurim and Baalei Batim gathered together for a beautiful evening commemorating the “Shnas Hakhel Siyum Harambam” in Detroit, Michigan.
Rabbi Leima Wilhelm, the Rosh Yeshiva at the local Lubavitch Mesivta, gave the opening remarks followed by a video of the Rebbe of 12 Sivan 5746, in which the Rebbe spoke about a special quality that the Sefer Hayad has that it could be learned by all Jews equally.
This was followed by the Siyum by Rabbi Berel Shemtov, head Shliach to the state of Michigan, which said a few words on the importance of this Takanah and that it’s our Zechus and Achrayus to share it with all Jews.
Rabbi Chaim Steinmetz, the Rosh Yeshivah of Yeshivas Menachem Mendel Lubavitch, started the new cycle of Rambam and spoke invigorating words about the special Takanah of Limud Harambam.
The guest speaker was Rabbi Moshe Feller, head Shliach to the state of Minnesota, who spoke and shared some stories about Rabmam, Limud HaTorah and Hiskashrus, among others.
After Maariv a Chasidishe Farbrengen was held that went late into the night, where Rabbi Feller shared with us special Horaos he got from the Rebbe on many different occasions.
i didn’t got that.
maybe some one could write down
the story from from rabbi sh.
I didn’t know that Detroit got Laima. WHo is the rosh yeshiva him or Steinmitz. I can only tell you that with those two they have an amazing yeshiva?
Berel is an ish tzanua b’tachlis.
Nobody realises what he built in detroit. And those who know how much goes on there like me assume that Detroit is a much bigger community than you would amagine. There are less that 70,000 jews in detroit.
I was just in detroit for a parents shabbos for the yeshiva and a drove around and i couldnt believe what i saw.
berel is the man
long time no see roundei good 2 see your looking good ky”h
let me ask a poshuteh question. it seems quite obvious there was no HUNDREDS of people at this event, why the EXTREME exageration. Unless I am wrong, what are we teaching out children.
At the siyum harambam Rabbi Shemtov spoke about the unprecedented hiskashrus of this dor as expressed in the names that kids are given. The next story shows a terible tragedy of a Meir Shlomo ben Menachem Mendel and Chana.
Rebbe, hog rachmonus our daine kinder.
detroit air hakodesh – b”h they shaped up since 10 years ago and is now one of the best yeshivos around the world
