Rambam: On the Purpose of the Universe (Moreh 3:13)

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 1 hour 43 minutesSynopsis: This evening (4/30/25), in our Thursday night women’s shiur, we learned through the entire chapter in the Moreh ha'Nevuchim in which the Rambam discusses the purpose of the universe. Technically speaking, this is part of our Friday morning Sefer Iyov Machshavah Lab series for women, but in order to make up for lost time, I decided to take it up in our Thursday night shiur. Thankfully, it's also a standalone topic. I'm happy with our analysis, and hope you find the Rambam's argument as enlightening as I did!Here's the link to My Rejected Kiruv Article on the Purpose of Life, which I mentioned at the end -----מקורות:רמב"ם - מורה הנבוכים ג:יג-----The Torah content for the month of Iyyar is sponsored by Naomi Schwartz Rothschild in memory of her mother, Breindel Bracha bas Mordechai z”l, whose yahrzeit falls on the 8th of Iyyar.
