Editing The Rambam (section)

== The Rambam's Yahrtzeit ==
20th of Teves is the day of the Rambam's passing.

In 5745 after returning from the Ohel, the Rebbe held a sudden farbrengen for the Rambam's yahrtzeit. At the farbrengen the Rebbe spoke about how the Rambam's matter is order and we need to learn from him to bring order into disorder.

In 5751 the Rebbe encouraged holding chassidic farbrengens on this day in every place.

The Rebbe commented near the Rambam's yahrtzeit regarding how Hashem completes and fills the days of tzaddikim from day to day: "And to note that the Rambam lived 70 years minus 83 days - 83 days between his passing on 20th of Teves and his birthday on Erev Pesach. And perhaps one could say that these 83 days were completed through the 83 halachos in Mishneh Torah (as the Rambam wrote at the end of his count of mitzvos according to the halachos in his sefer's introduction)."
