Study of the Rambam helps lay the foundation for a lifelong pursuit of wisdom and understanding. Friday, May 02, 2008. When I finally started posting on this blog last year, I began by presenting a series of mini-lectures on the Mishneh Torah in which I discussed its importance and distinctiveness as a guide to understanding the Oral Torah. With gratitude to Hashem, I continue that series with the current post. What's In A Count? The Uniqueness of Rambam’s Approach. Here we find an aspect of the Rambam&#...

Study of the Rambam helps lay the foundation for a lifelong pursuit of wisdom and understanding. Tuesday, January 06, 2009. Organization of the Mishneh Torah. The second level is “explaining” the mitzvah in terms of a more general theme into which it fits (ex., the uprooting of idolatrous tendencies, the Laws of Idolatry), together with other mitsvot. The second level would be seeing how this exercise, together with other routines and proper diet, fits into the broader category of “establishing and...

Study of the Rambam helps lay the foundation for a lifelong pursuit of wisdom and understanding. Friday, August 03, 2007. It’s A Shame. In the previous installment of this series on the Rambam’s Mishneh Torah. However, the Rambam was not satisfied with this introductory verse alone. He appended a second passuq, drawn from Psalm 119:. 8220;Then I will no longer be ashamed – when I gaze upon all of your commandments.”.

Study of the Rambam helps lay the foundation for a lifelong pursuit of wisdom and understanding. Thursday, July 26, 2007. The Written Roots of the Oral Torah. The Rambam “crowns” the introduction to the Mishneh Torah with not one but two verses from the Tanach.

Avraham’s vision had moral implicat...

Study of the Rambam helps lay the foundation for a lifelong pursuit of wisdom and understanding. Wednesday, January 07, 2009. The Concept of Rabbinic “Mitsvot”. At this point, the Rambam addresses the apparent contradiction between the prohibition of adding onto the Torah and the concept of Rabbinic commandments. If we are forbidden to formulate new commandments, how can the Rabbis enact new laws? Finally, the Rambam concludes with a fascinating paragraph:. To our religious lives, rabbinical injunctions ...
