Siyum Honors Rabbi’s Passing

Chabad @ Flamingo in Toronto hosts a Siyum HaRambam, concluding the 31st cycle of daily study of the Rambam’s Mishne Torah.

The event will also mark 30 days since the passing of the illustrious Rabbi Avrohom Dov Hecht OBM, grandfather of Flamingo Shliach Rabbi Mendel Kaplan.

Included in the evening’s program will be a special video produced by Jewish Education Media (JEM) highlighting special moments between Rabbi Hecht and the Rebbe throughout the years.

This year’s siyum HaRambam has additional meaning for Kaplan who has been recording a Sefer HaMitzvos class every day this year on the Chabad.org video site Jewish.TV.

Kaplan began the daily Sefer HaMitzvos last year at the beginning of the cycle which just ended.

In the spirit of Jewish unity which the Rebbe connected to limud haRambam, the speakers in the program features rabbis from diverse communities, including Rabbi Amram Assayag of the Kehilla Centre and Rabbi Daniel N. Korobkin of the BAYT.
