Early Childhood Metaphysical Education (Moreh ha'Nevuchim 1:35)

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!This afternoon (10/26/21) in our Rambam Bekius chavurah we began by tying up some loose ends from yesterday's learning of Hilchos Talmud Torah Chapter 2, regarding the historical context of the educational system described therein. After that we took up the topic of early childhood METAPHYSICAL education, which the Rambam doesn't discuss in the Mishneh Torah. We learned through the chapter in the Moreh ha'Nevuchim in which he outlines which foundational ideas he deems necessary to teach even by rote to children and which should be reserved for a later point in one's development. We encountered some thorny questions to which we didn't find answers, but at least they're good questions! ----------מקורות:ערוך השולחן - יורה דעה סימן רמ"ה סעיפים ו-זתלמוד בבלי - בבא בתרא דף כא עמוד ארמב"ם - מורה הנבוכים א:להרמב"ם - משנה תורה, ספר המדע, הלכות יסודי התורה א:יא-יברמב"ם - פירוש המשניות, הקדמה לפרק חלקhttps://www.maimonides-guide.com/full-table-of-contents----------This week's Torah content has been sponsored by R.R. in appreciation for all the growth and insight that she has gained from these shiurim.
