Rambam's Health Guidelines: Part 2 (Hilchos Deios Chapter 4)

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!This afternoon (6/3/21 at YBT) in our Rambam Bekius chavurah we finished the chapter in Hilchos Deios comprised of the Rambam's health guidelines. Although we encountered far more outdated statements this time compared to last time, we also encountered more enduring truths and insights into the Torah's approach to health. All in all, I definitely found it worthwhile to go through this chapter, and I think we were right not to skip it.----------מקורות:רמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר המדע, הלכות דעות פרק ד ----------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!
