One picture is worth a thousand words, especially when it comes to understanding complex halachos.
On Monday evening, a crowd of Anash and bochurim gathered in the Crown Heights Kolel for a unique visual presentation the Rambam’s Kiddush Hachodesh, now being learned in the three perokim cycle of Rambam.
Many who follow the Rebbe’s takana of learning the entire Rambam annually find the halachos of Kiddush Hachodesh to be among the most challenging sections of the 14 books of Mishneh Torah. Historically, only a select group of talmidei chachamim were fluent in the intricate calculations involving the sun, moon, and stars, which result in the molad and other related phenomena.
The presentation was led by Rabbi Chaim Shmuel Friedman, creator of the acclaimed Beis Hamikdash 3D presentation “VeHarenu Bebinyano.” The Kiddush Hachodesh presentation brought to life the subjects discussed in the Rambam, such as the molad, mahalach hashemesh, mahalach halevana, and so on, enabling the participants to fulfill the Rebbe’s takana properly.
The event was organized by the Lubavitch Youth Organization.
FULL REPLAY:
The shiur was absolutely phenomenal. Simplified most can easy understand it. Perhaps the first time ever it made sense to me.
Wish there would be a part 2 & 3 & 4 …. You get my point !!
