Read his biography here
On page 36 - זייט זעקס און דרייסיג, rather - we read about a siyum haShas made by RMAK shortly before his passing in 1926. What is noteworthy about the siyum is that RMAK wasn't privileged to learn much back in der alter heim, but once he moved to America and established himself financially- is when he began to sit and learn in a serious way. At that occasion the author Yaakov Mark - who we quoted here many years ago - was invited to speak at the grand siyum and suggested that the members of the Tzemach Tzedek Nusach hoAri shul on Henry Street make a chalukas haShas themselves and finish it in time for Yud Tes Kislev! Unfortunately RMAK passed away a short time later and for fear that maybe some people would forget to finish their mesechta they published it in his biography which was published shortly after his passing. Most of us will recognize Reb Dovid Shifrin in the list of lomdim, but the other names mostly not.

but why a Lamdan
ווייל ער איז געזעצן און געלערנט! א למדן איז ניט איינער וואס קען לערנען נאר דוקא איינער וואס לערנט בפועל ממש
אינעם ביכל ברענגט מען שטארק ארויס דעם נקודה פון זיין "התמדת התורה" אין אמעריקע

this vort is good for the Masgiach in yeshiva Ketana
but a Lamden is a Lamden
In the beginning of the bio - M. Lokshin may possibly be familiar, as well as Mr. Fasten - apparently referring to Calev Fasten who hosted the Rayatz in Lakewood, or at least a relative of his.
prob the same Fasten
he had a son called chaim schnuer zalman which is a liadi name not a lubavitch name so he must have been a liadi chosid
even if he was named after the Liadier, Liadi was long gone by then. He was a chossid of the FR of Lubavitch and did all he could to help him.
abi gehakt.
reb hirshel, any thoughts on the new rebbe bios?
you want all thoughts on all books???
Was that rhetorical, I was just asking for some commentary, whatever you think is necessary, whichever one's you have read...

לא צריכים צה"ל - רק הקב"ה יעזור לנו. תמשיכו להתפלל!!! קריאת תהילים משותפת, כל אחד קורא פרק אחד, ביחד משלימים את ספר תהילים. http://tehilimyahad.com/mr.jsp?r=oOG2UOUY3c
יעקב נפתלי בן רחל דבורה,
גלעד מיכאל בן בת-גלים,
אייל בן איריס תשורה,
אבל אנחנו אשמים… לצערינו הכל מגיע מן השמים, משום שהחרדים שותקים על ביזוי חפירת קברי יהודים בב"ש, ושם חופרים רק בהתר "רב אחד המתיר" וכו' וגם משום אישור חוק הגיוס של בני הישיבות,
בנט ולפיד: הרשעים הכל בגללכם, החטיפה, כי לא עשינו רצון ד' יש מיעוט בתורה יש חוקים אנטי דתיים יש התעללות במיעוטי יכולת יש שנאת אחים.. הקב"ה לא ישתוק על הכאב הגדול של בניו, הכל כדי לעורר אותנו, והכל בשביל קצת כסף.
Heshey
I have read a few pages from Miller's book that were linked one one website. That's it. Have u read any of them? Care to share your thoughts and impressions?
Sure, i've read steinsaltz, some chapters are very very intersant, with lots of details and points on the Rebbe's views of certain issues, while other chapters are artscrollish, all in all not a bad book, and Steinsaltz always makes a note when he brings his own opinion. an interesting book from an interesting chasid.
