Rambam on the Satan and Ra (Part 3: Matter as the Cause of Ra)

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 1 hour 22 minutesSynopsis: This morning (4/17/26), in our Friday morning Sefer Iyov series for women, we finally began the "Moreh ha'Nevuchim" portion of our Iyov journey. After a very brief review of matter and form, we read, analyzed, and discussed the Moreh 3:8 about the relationship between matter and ra. We concluded by decoding the basic elements of the satan allegory (which, ironically, was interrupted a few minutes before shiur ended by the satan himself). Next week, I hope to cover 3:9 and the all-important 3:10! -----מקורות:רמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר המדע, הלכות יסודי התורה ב:גיונה ד:א-ב;ורמב"ם - מורה הנבוכים ג:חבבא בתרא דף טז עמוד אאיוב א:ו-יב-----The Torah content for the month of Nisan has been sponsored by Rivkie and Dovi Siderson.
