Descrição:

1168 - ראשונים

Kitab as-Siraj, or the רמב׳׳ם’s פירוש on the משנה, is a unique work of commentary. Unlike יד החזקה, this פירוש was written in Judeo-Arabic. The span of this work is extremely impressive - it covers all of the משנה’s tractates, even parts that the גמרא did not cover. In this work, רמב׳׳ם condenses debates and offers resolutions to whatever conflicts were not solved within the text itself. It is most known for its introduction, and in the 10th chapter of סנהדרין, the י׳׳ג עיקרי אמונה of the רמב׳׳ם are derived.

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.
