1178 - ראשונים

In a collection of 14 books (the יד in יד החזקה indicates the י׳׳ד works), רמב׳׳ם classifies all of the applicable הלכה in a work that he felt could entirely replace any other halachic works. יד החזקה is known for its Mishnaic Hebrew phrasing, scope, the fusion of halacha and philosophy, and unique classification that רמב׳׳ם created independent of the order in the תלמוד. Its main feature is also its most controversial one: codification. רמב׳׳ם removed the sources and deliberation before the פסק for clarity’s sake, but its critics say that the lack of sources makes it look like רמב׳׳ם is מתנבא the הלכה. Despite the controversy, רמב׳׳ם’s importance as a Halachic authority is proved through this work and is one of the pillars that the בית יוסף uses in creating the שולחן ערוך.

About the Author: ר׳ משה בן מאמון, or רמב׳׳ם, is considered one of the most famous and important rabbis throughout all of Jewish history, even being compared to משה רבינו. Although he fled Spain for Egypt at age 12, רמב׳׳ם considered himself a Spanish Jew and his works were directed towards the Spanish Jewish community. While he was a doctor for the Egyptian rulers in Cairo, רמב׳׳ם was still extensively engaged in תורה through writing commentaries on the תורה, משנה and גמרא and responding to letters from many foreign communities. With this greatness came much controversy over his works, however, רמב׳׳ם is still one of the most highly respected authorities in הלכה until today.
