Sefer ha'Mitzvos: Aseh #9 - Kiddush ha'Shem

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!This afternoon (2/1/21 at YBT, from Seattle) we began learning the next pair of topics on our agenda: kidush ha'Shem and chilul ha'Shem. We started with the mitzvah of kidush ha'Shem as formulated by the Rambam in the Sefer ha'Mitzvos, which differs markedly from his presentation in the Mishneh Torah and also from the conception of the mitzvah in the minds of the populace. Tomorrow we will continue with his presentation of chilul ha'Shem in the Sefer ha'Mitzvos and then move on to Hilchos Yesodei ha'Torah Chapter 5.----------מקורות:רמב"ם: ספר המצוות, מצות עשה ט' - קידוש השם----------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!----------Please feel free to leave your questions, insights, and feedback in the comments!----------Rambam Resources:- Mechon Mamre: the most accurate complete edition of the Mishneh Torah available online for free http://www.mechon-mamre.org/- AlHaTorah: excellent site overall, and reliable for the first three books of the Mishneh Torah, as well as the Shelat edition of the Rambam's commentary on the Mishnah and other works of the Rambam https://rambam.alhatorah.org/- Daat: features many of the Rambam's writings, including Qafih's translation of the Moreh ha'Nevuchim, complete with footnotes http://www.daat.ac.il/daat/mahshevt/mahadurot.htm- Explanatory Essays on The Guide for the Perplexed: https://www.maimonides-guide.com/full-table-of-contents----------Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/rabbischneeweissYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/rabbischneeweissBlog: https://kolhaseridim.blogspot.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/rmschneeweiss"The Mishlei Podcast": https://mishlei.buzzsprout.com"The Stoic Jew" Podcast: https://thestoicjew.buzzsprout.com"Rambam Bekius" Podcast: https://rambambekius.buzzsprout.com"Machshavah Lab" Podcast: https://machshavahlab.buzzsprout.com"The Tefilah Podcast": https://tefilah.buzzsprout.comOur Yeshiva: https://www.yeshivabneitorah.org/Our Women's Program: https://www.lomdeha.org/
