== Siyum HaRambam at the Rambam's House - Morocco ==
In Morocco, they hold a unique Siyum HaRambam celebration at the Rambam's house in the city of Fez, in addition to other celebrations. The celebration was organized for many years by the shliach Rabbi Yehuda Leib Raskin. The first celebration took place at the completion of the first cycle in 5745, and since then celebrations have been held annually in Fez and other cities as well. For the first celebration in 5745, a special bus departed from Casablanca carrying the Rebbe's shluchim: Rabbi Shlomo Matusof, Rabbi Shalom Edelman, and Rabbi Yehuda Leib Raskin, along with public figures, Chabad yeshiva students, and members of the Casablanca community. The siyum celebrations in the city began with a special ceremony in the Grand Synagogue, attended by about two hundred people. Rabbi Shlomo Matusof conducted the siyum, and the celebrants proceeded to the Rambam's house where the celebration began in the courtyard of the ancient house, and the siyum was conducted on the roof of the house by Rabbi Yehuda Leib Raskin, while the opening for the second cycle was taught by Rabbi Shlomo Matusof. The bottle of mashke from which 'l'chaim' was distributed at this event was specially preserved for the Rebbe, and a few days later, when the student shluchim traveled to the Rebbe, they took the bottle with them and gave it to the Rebbe. At the Shabbat HaGadol farbrengen, the Rebbe mentioned in a sicha the siyum at the Rambam's house in Fez, and at the end of the sicha, he poured from this bottle to each of the student shluchim in the Yeshiva Gedolah and also to Rabbi Binyamin Gorodetsky and to additional bottles. The Rebbe announced that whoever conducts a Siyum HaRambam would receive, through the Rebbe's secretariat, a bottle of mashke containing mashke from the Siyum HaRambam in Fez. Also at the 11th of Nissan farbrengen, the Rebbe mentioned the Siyum HaRambam at the Rambam's house in Fez and announced again that whoever conducts a Siyum HaRambam would receive a bottle containing mashke from Fez.

At the end of the month of Nissan, on Shabbat Mevarchim Iyar, the Rebbe said at a farbrengen that he would give mashke for the siyumim that would be held and also for those who had conducted a siyum in Fez and Cairo. At this event, the Rebbe's shliach in Montreal, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Raskin, received a bottle, and after the Rebbe poured him mashke, he said he would send the bottle to his father in Morocco. That year, 13 "Siyum HaRambam" celebrations were held throughout Morocco, including in the cities of Casablanca, Rabat, Marrakesh, and Meknes. In subsequent years, they continued to celebrate the Siyum HaRambam events with great splendor in Moroccan cities and at the Rambam's house
