Rabbonim, Mashpiim Heap Praise on New Rambam Set

In honor of the Siyum Harambam, Rabbi Yossi Lipskier published “Otzar Hamelech,” a 2-volume set compiling the Rebbe’s commentary on all of Mishneh Torah. Many Rabbonim, Roshei Yeshiva and Mashpiim have expressed their excitement for the incredible work.

In honor of the Siyum Harambam this year, Rabbi Yossi Lipskier published “Otzar Hamelech”, a 2-volume set compiling the Rebbe’s commentary on all of the Rambam’s Mishneh Torah.

Over the last few days, many Rabbonim, Roshei Yeshiva and community leaders have received a copy and expressed their excitement and enthusiasm for the tremendous work.

Among the rabbonim and mashpiim who recieved and praised the sefer were: Harav Yosef Heller, Rov and Rosh Kollel in Crown Heights; Harav Ezra Schochet, Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshiva Ohr Elchonon Chabad; Rabbi Mordechai Farkash, Shliach and Rov in Bellevue, Washington; Rabbi Yosef Shusterman, Shliach in Beverly Hills, CA, and Rov in Los Angeles; and Rabbi Mendy Shapiro, Mashpia in Yeshiva Ohr Elchonon Chabad.

Below are some of their sentiments:

Rabbi Ezra Binyomin Schochet (The Rosh), Rosh Yeshiva in Yeshiva Ohr Elchonon Chabad: “Finally we have a Sefer that includes ALL of the Rebbe’s biurim on Rambam. Many other works have tried to achieve this goal, but this work truly encompasses everything. Mazel Tov and Yasher Koach!”

Rabbi Mordechai Farkash, Shliach and Rov in Bellevue, Washington: “This Sefer is much more than a simple anthology or index. It’s the product of a deep, incisive analysis of the Rebbe’s Torah. It’s written clearly, and with attentiveness to the fact that reading the Sefer will ultimately allow one to enter ‘the palace of the king’ – to delve into the Sichos in their original form”.

Rabbi Mendy Shapiro, Mashpia in Yeshiva Ohr Elchonon Chabad: “Now we’ll be able to learn Rambam on an entirely different level. The amount of the Rebbe’s explanations even on the beginning Pesukim in the Rambam is amazing. Certainly the same is true with the rest of the Rambam”. 

Sets of Otzar Hamelech will be sold TODAY at the Siyum Harambam Haolami in Crown Heights.
