Mazal Tov
to Jews everywhere for completing the Rambam study cycle!
B"H
Mazal Tov!
Today, hundreds of thousands of Jews will complete the entirety of Torah law, following a special study cycle initiated by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory. A portion of Mishneh Torah—the 14-volume compendium on Jewish law by Maimonides (Rambam)—is studied every day.
Today, we conclude the 36th annual cycle.
Each year, more people join in this extraordinary experience of Jewish scholarship, which unites Jews of all walks of life in learning this unique work that encompasses all 613 mitzvot of the Torah.
The new cycle begins tomorrow. This is the perfect time to start learning Rambam every day.
There are three tracks to this study schedule, enabling everyone to join at their own pace:
Those capable follow a three-chapter-per-day schedule, which completes the Mishneh Torah in slightly less than one year.
For those unable to study three chapters every day, the Rebbe suggested a parallel track at a more modest pace of one chapter daily, which lasts nearly three years.
For those who find even that too difficult, the Rebbe instituted yet a third track. Paralleling the three-chapter-per-day regimen by learning daily about the same commandments being studied there in detail, this one explores Maimonides’ significantly shorter Sefer Hamitzvot (“Book of Commandments”), concluding all 613 mitzvahs each year.
Resources to Aid Rambam Study
Hebrew texts, English translations, audio classes, video lectures and more are all available on the Chabad.org Daily Study page. Here is some of what you can find:
Moznaim Publisher’s landmark translation of the entire Mishneh Torah in English by Rabbi Eli Touger is displayed neatly alongside Hebrew texts.
Video classes on Mishneh Torah by the late Rabbi Yehoshua B. Gordon and on Sefer Hamitzvot by Rabbi Mendel Kaplan are both popular.
Sefer Hamitzvot is available in versions geared for both kids and adults.
You can receive Rambam and Sefer Hamitzvot via email.
If you an app person, the “Hayom” app has daily Rambam, along with other components of the daily study regimen and other handy information. You may also enjoy using the “Rabbi Gordon” app.
And if you are a consumer of audio, especially podcasts, rest assured that we’ve got you covered.
In addition to Hebrew and English texts, you can also study via audio, video podcasts and even sign up to receive daily emails.
