Each
week, one hour before Mincha, Rabbi Don Seeman gives
a shiur on "Spirituality, Ethics and the Modern
Jew." The latest installment focuses on Maimonides'
Book of Knowledge.
There are a number of resources you should consult for
Rabbi Seeman's class. These include
a detailed
biography of the Rambam's life and times,
a more
general article on his life and works,
an English
translation of Maimonides' Book of Knowledge,
translations
of his other works, including The Guide
for the Perplexed and, last but not least,
a link to the Maimonides
Heritage Center, which has several articles
and on-line courses about the Rambam throughout its
website.
There is also a very worthwhile artilce on the history
of halakha you can access by clicking here.
And
if this were not enough, you can find a complete online
version of Mishneh Torah by clicking here.
Additionally,
our own David Blumenthal of Emory University has authored
a number of articles on Maimonides. You can view some
of them via the links below:
