The Maimonides Hebrew Day School is marking on Monday, Teves 20, the yartzeit of its namesake, Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon (Rambam), one of the most prolific and influential Torah scholars and physicians of the Middle Ages.
Students displayed over 100 Rambam memorabilia produced by the school, including scores of pamphlets on Halacha and Talmud, math and health, rare postage stamps, invitations and programs.
They are also showing various official State Proclamations honoring the Maimonides School and its namesake who was born in Cordoba in present-day Spain and passed away in Egypt in 1204.
One special Arabic manuscript facsimile from the Rambam was produced when high-ranking Saudi Arabian delegates and their interpreters visited the Maimonides School in 2010 under the Aegis of the U.S. State department in Washington, D.C.
The special exhibit is being displayed in the Maimonides’ new Science, Library and Media Center.
“We’re not only Maimonides in name, but also in meaning and mission,” said Rabbi Yisroel Rubin, Dean of Maimonides, “as our school motto is: A beautiful Blend of Torah and Worldly experience.”
Rabbi Rubin has also updated a treatise on the Rambam and the Alter Rebbe on the subject of a Child’s Torah Education that can be downloaded here.
The Rebbe always quoted the Rambam. Sefer ha Mitzvot is a treasure as are all commentary by Rambam.
