How Talmidei Chachamim Should and Shouldn't Eat (Hilchos Deios 5:1-2)

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!This afternoon (6/8/21 at YBT) in our Rambam Bekius chavurah we began the chapter about how chachamim (or talmidei chachamim) should conduct themselves in the particulars of their lives. Today's topic focused on how chachamim should and shouldn't eat. We contrasted this with some similar statements at the end of Hilchos Tumas Ochlin, and that comparison led to a key hypothesis about how this chapter fits into Hilchos Deios as a whole. We'll see how our theory plays out!----------מקורות:רמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר המדע, הלכות דעות ה:א-ברמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר טהרה, הלכות טומאת אוכלין טז:יב ----------Bekius Disclaimer: Note that this is a bekius chavurah - as opposed to an iyun shiur. Each session consists of us reading through the Rambam's writings together without much preparation on my part, and without going into depth by consulting commentaries or primary sources. For all these reasons, there are bound to be inaccuracies, errors, and other types of shortcomings which would not be acceptable in a prepared shiur, but are quite typical of a bekius chavurah. Please bear this in mind, and know what you're signing up for when you listen!----------If you have questions, comments, or feedback, I would love to hear from you!
