Rambam's "Mishneh Torah"
This course is no longer offered.
"MiMoshe leMoshe, lo kam k'Moshe,"* says the famous quote about Rambam. In this course we will start with a short introduction of Rambam's life and philosophy followed by a study of selections of halakhot from "Mishneh Torah." We will discuss Rambam's ideas about interesting topics such as worshiping God, improving human behavior, gossip, tzdaka, superstitions and more. A reader will be provided to the students.
*From Moses to Moses, no one has arisen like Moses.
