Rabbi Heschel Greenberg has launched a new series of classes on the Rambam’s Mishneh Torah in response to the Rebbe’s call to learn at least one halacha in depth.
The Rebbe initiated a major effort to unite all Jews with the study of the entire encyclopedic work, Mishneh Torah, by learning three chapters a day and completing the entire work in less than a year. Alternatively, one can learn one chapter and complete the entire Mishneh Torah in close to three years. The Rebbe also gave a third option to study Maimonides’ companion work, Sefer Hamitzvos that parallel the Mishneh Torah.
In addition, the Rebbe requested that we learn one halacha in depth.
We recently began the 42nd cycle of Mishneh Torah which inspired Rabbi Greenberg to record brief classes on selected passages of the Mishneh Torah.
Rabbi Heschel Greenberg is a shliach of the Rebbe in Buffalo NY and the Director of the Jewish Discovery Center, and, for the past 50 years, has taught thousands of classes on all aspects of Jewish knowledge.
Rabbi Greenberg has also authored dozens of works on diverse subjects including several volumes of commentary on the Mishneh Torah.
Many of Rabbi Greenberg’s classes can be accessed on his website rabbigreenberg.com.
Discover a fascinating debate in Jewish law: What happens when someone borrows a Sefer Torah and it gets damaged? Is the borrower liable like any other sho’el, or does the mitzvah of lending a Sefer change the legal equation entirely?
In this rigorous exploration of Rambam’s Hilchos She’eilos, we examine a brilliant disagreement between the Ran, Machaneh Ephraim, K’tzos HaChoshen, and Nesivos HaMishpat about the nature of benefit, mitzvah, and liability. This shiur reveals how seemingly technical legal questions open windows into profound concepts about the nature of mitzvos, pleasure, and obligation.
thank you so much for these in depth Shuirim
