Ralbag's Allegorical Interpretation of Gan Eden Part 1 - Preface

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!The topic of tonight's Chumash shiur (given at YBT on 10/14/20) was the Ralbag's preface to his allegorical commentary on Gan Eden. We began with the Abravanel's objections to taking Gan Eden as a mashal. We then learned through the Ralbag's intro to Gan Eden in which he gives an overview of the ideas in the nimshal. Whether or not we embark on learning through his commentary in the upcoming weeks remains to be seen.----------מקורות:אברבנאל - בראשית פרק ברלב"ג בראשית ב:ד - ג:כד, הצעה לחלק חרמב"ם - מורה הנבוכים הקדמה; ב:כטרמב"ם - שמונה פרקים, פרק א ----------If you have questions, comments, or feedback, I would love to hear from you!
