A gorgeous Siyum Horambam was held in Paris in honor of the Rambam and 75 years of the Rebbe’s nesius. Two shluchos who recently passed away were memorialized by their husbands, Harav Yechiel Kalmenson of Brunoy and Rabbi Shlomo Azoulay of Levallois.
The Paris community gathered in large numbers to celebrate the Rambam Siyum, an event brilliantly organized by Beth Loubavitch under Rabbi Mendel Azimov. The exceptional evening honored 75 years of the Rebbe’s leadership and the importance of the Rambam’s monumental work.
Poignant videos retracing the Rebbe’s legacy were broadcast, stirring emotion and inspiration among the participants.
On this occasion, a new book by the Rambam translated into French was presented under the direction of Rabbi Binyamin Apelbaum, marking a valuable step forward in the study and dissemination of the Rambam’s teachings.
The evening was punctuated by captivating music, with performances by Lubavitch singer Mendy Gabay accompanied by Osher Touitou and Shalom Frankel.
The event reached its peak with the conclusion of the siyum by Harav Avraham Boruch Pevzner and a pilpul in Rambam by Harav Yechiel Kalmenson, Rosh Yeshiva of the Yeshiva of Brunoy, in memory of his wife Mrs. Sterna Kalmanson AH, who passed away three weeks ago.
A special intervention by Rabbi Shlomo Azoulay, director and head of the institutions of Levallois-Perret, who just got up from shiva for his wife, Mrs. Devorah Azoulay AH, reinforced the importance of this event, emphasizing the central role of study and the dissemination of knowledge in Jewish life.
The atmosphere was both solemn and joyful, mixing respect, study, and fervor, in a remarkable unity. This Sioum will remain engraved as a strong moment of transmission and commitment to Torah and Chassidus.
