Rabbi Yaakov Peretz Blumming is a Chabad chossid, resident of Boro Park, who focuses on explaining the Rambam and is the author of the 'Rambam Ha'aruch' series of seforim.
Life History[edit | edit source]
Born to Rabbi Ben Tzion Blumming and his mother Mrs. Rachel.
He grew up in Flatbush, where he met Rabbi Chaim Block, the Rebbe's shliach in San Antonio, South Texas, who brought him closer to Toras Chabad in general through learning Tanya, and over time he became closer to the Rebbe and became a Chabad chossid himself.
He would attend the Rebbe's farbrengens even in the first years of the nesius.
When he reached marriageable age, he married his wife, the daughter of Rabbi Gedalia Schorr, Rosh Yeshiva of Torah Vodaath, and established his residence in Boro Park.
Although most of his children were sent to learn in non-Chabad yeshivos, they found their way to Chabad yeshiva.
In 2001, he began publishing the 'Rambam Ha'aruch' series of seforim which explains the Rambam's words in a concise and clear language accessible to everyone, along with deep iyunim based on Rishonim and Acharonim. The series was completed in 2023.
