Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!This afternoon (3/14/22), in our Rambam Bekius chavurah, we continued our review of Hilchos Purim with the objective of understanding the uniqueness of Simchas Purim. Today's exploration took us ALMOST through the end of Hilchos Megilah Chapter 2, which we will aim to finish tomorrow (בג"ה).----------מקורות:רמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר זמנים, הלכות מגילה וחנוכה א:א; ב:יג-ידMegillat Esther Mesorat HaRav (Koren / OU Press), pp.115,118,121אסתר ט:יט,כז-כחרמב"ם - משנה תורה, הקדמה, אות יחרמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר אהבה, הלכות תפלה וברכת כהנים ד:יזרמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר קנין, הלכות מכירה כט:יחשולחן ערוך אורח חיים תרצה:בערוך השולחן שם סעיף קטן ה----------The Torah content for the remainder of Adar II has been sponsored by David Campbell, and is dedicated "in honor of Rabbi Schneeweiss and all those who work to produce a grounded and thoughtful Judaism."----------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 can be reached at rabbischneeweiss at gmail.----------If you've gained from what you've learned here, please consider contributing to my Patreon at www.patreon.com/rabbischneeweiss.
