Thousands gathered in front of 770 Eastern Parkway to celebrate the conclusion of the 41st cycle of Rambam study held on the joyous day of Lag B’omer, Hilula of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai.
The 41st Siyum Harambam was celebrated with a grand event together with a bonfire and joyous dancing to mark Lag B’omer.
As the evening of Lag B’Omer is ushered in, the crowd celebrated with joyous music and dancing with singer Avraham Fried, the Kapelle choir, and the Yingerlich Boys Choir, who performed in Crown Heights for the first time in honor of the Siyum.
As usual, a beautiful study schedule for the forty-second cycle has been printed and distributed at the event. Otzar Hamelech, the long-awaited, monumental work by Rabbi Yossi Lipskier, collecting thousands of the Rebbe’s explanations on Rambam, was also given out to all participants.
