Editing Mishneh Torah of the Rambam (section)

== Contemporary Editions ==

===== Rambam La'am =====
Rambam La'am is the common edition of the Rambam, published by Mosad HaRav Kook.

The edition is fully vowelized, with commentary in popular style and references to the Rambam's sources.

The Rebbe most often uses this edition.

===== Kapach Edition =====
Rabbi Yosef Kapach's edition is composed from ancient Yemenite manuscripts, and is considered one of the accurate editions, since according to them it includes the Rambam's corrections in the later editions of his sefer.

The edition was newly translated by Rabbi Kapach, and includes commentaries on the Rambam's words from Rabbi Kapach and from ancient manuscripts.

The Rebbe greatly encouraged the publication of this edition, and some of the seforim are even dedicated to the Rebbe.

===== Frankel Edition =====
Distinguished by comparison to old editions and correction of errors caused by censorship. Includes an index to Mishneh Torah, sources for the Rambam's words and collection of commentaries. Much criticism arose because they omitted many commentators including the Rebbe's explanations. As a result, many Chabad chassidim avoid using this edition.
