Oil on Canvas by Mira Eisen
TEVET 10
Anniversary of the start of the siege of
Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon
(425 BCE), culminating in the destruction of the
First Temple. Commemorated since then as a
public fast day.
TEVET 20
RaMBaM (Maimonides), Rabbi Moshe ben
Maimon (1135–1204), passed away in Cairo,
Egypt, and was buried in Tiberias, Israel.
Outstanding codifier, commentator, philosopher,
physician to Sultan Saladin, and leader of
Egyptian Jewry, his brilliant works are studied
to this day. It was said of him: “From Moses to
Moses (i.e., the RaMBaM), there was none like
Moses!”
The Lubavitcher Rebbe has urged all Jews to
study daily his Mishneh Torah (authoritative
code of Jewish law), or at least the briefer Sefer
HaMitzvos.
TEVET 24
Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi, first leader of
Chabad-Lubavitch, passed away in 1812.
SHEVAT 1
On this day Moses began telling the Jewish
People the Book of Devarim (Deuteronomy 1:1),
fifth of the Five Books of Moses. It was his last
will and testament before he passed away over
a month later, and before they entered the land
of Israel.
