Why Did the Rambam Not Feel It Was Arrogant to Write that His Was the Only Book Necessary to Master Jewish Law?

On Sunday, 2 Adar, 5785, March 2, 2025, the 44th international Siyum HaRambam took place in Brooklyn, NY, where thousands gathered to celebrate the completion of the study of Mishnah Torah by the Rambam, according to the daily learning cycle of Rambam instituted by the Lubavitcher Rebbe in 1984.

Rabbi YY Jacobson presented the keynote lecture at the Siyum, highlighting the contribution of the Rambam to Judaism and its relevance today.

The lecture recalls memories of the Rebbe making a Siyum and Hadran on the Rambam back in 1986; it explains the remarkable revolution of the Rambam in Jewish law; and how the Rambam teaches us not to be embarrassed by who we are.
