Tying Up Loose Ends in Hilchos Talmud Torah: Women Learning, Seneca and Philosophy, Shul vs. Beis Midrash

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!This afternoon (11/17/21), in our Rambam Bekius chavurah, we tied up a bunch of loose ends from a bunch of different topics in Hilchos Talmud Torah Chaptesr 1-3. We began by reading excerpts from R' Yehuda Henkin's psak about women learning Torah she'baal Peh and Talmud, which shed some light on our analysis of that topic in the Rambam. We then read an excerpt from Seneca's Letter #53 which poetically depicted the type of devotion one have in order to merit the Crown of Torah. Next, we partially answered some of the questions we raised yesterday about the halachic architecture of our own shul/yeshiva. Lastly, we explained the Rambam's halacha about learning in a Beis Ha'Kneses.----------מקורות:רמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר המדע, הלכות תלמוד תורה א:יג; ג:יב-יגRabbi Yehuda Henkin translation of She'elot uTeshuvot B'nei Banim, volume 3, number 12,(Dated 14 Marcheshvan 5752)Seneca: Letter #53רמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר אהבה, הלכות תפילה וברכת כוהנים יא:ב----------This week's Torah content has been sponsored by Shirley, and since she didn't specify a dedicatory message, then I'm going to dedicate this to the entire Sinclair family - Shirley, David, and Ken.----------Bekius Disclaimer: (see previous episodes for disclaimer) ----------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.
