The Final Word on Silence (Hilchos Deios 2:4-6)

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!This afternoon (5/21/21 at YBT) we resumed our Rambam Bekius chavurah after a week's hiatus. We focused on the last two paragraphs in the Rambam about the deah of silence, and arrived at some nice ideas. (FYI, the title of this shiur is a joke based on something we said in the shiur itself.) We started working on 2:6, about geneivas daas (trickery), pitui (seduction), and echad ba'peh v'echad ba'lev (lack of integrity), but we'll have to revisit that topic next time.----------מקורות:רמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר המדע, הלכות דעות ב:ד-וEpictetus, Discourses 4.1.128b-129a ----------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!
