Rambam Bekius

By: Rabbi Matt Schneeweiss
  • Summary

  • My name is Rabbi Matt Schneeweiss, and this is the podcast for my Rambam Bekius Chavurah at Yeshiva Bnei Torah (YBT). We typically meet four days a week for an hour and learn the writings of the Rambam on a bekius level (i.e. with the aim of covering ground rather than doing an in-depth analysis). Our focus is on the Mishneh Torah, but we will frequently delve into the Sefer ha'Mitzvos, the Peirush ha'Mishnayos, the Moreh ha'Nevuchim, and other writings from the Rambam when our learning takes us there. If you're interested in attaining fluency in the Rambam's Torah, then this is the podcast for you!

  • Some Thoughts on the Seudah ha'Mafsekes (Hilchos Taaniyos 5:7-9)
    Aug 12 2024

    Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!

    Length: 21 minutes 24 seconds
    Synopsis: I was originally going to record an episode for tomorrow, Tishah b'Av itself, but I ended up discussing the halachos of seudah ha'mafsekes (the concluding meal before the fast) with my chavrusa this afternoon, and decided to record an episode about that instead, hoping that some people will be able to hear it before Tishah b'Av starts for them. These thoughts are somewhat scattered, but even if you don't like the answers, hopefully you'll at least appreciate the questions!

  • Tearing Kria Over the Destruction (Hilchos Taaniyos 5:16-18)
    Aug 12 2024

    Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!

    Length: 12 minutes 23 seconds
    Synopsis: We conclude the fifth chapter of Hilchos Taaniyos with the halachos of tearing our garments when we encounter the Cities of Judah, Jerusalem, and the Mikdash in their states of destruction. The final halacha is about the status of these fast days in the time of Moshiach. I share a beautiful article from Rabbi Joshua Maroof on this topic and apply his insight to this final halacha in the Rambam.

  • Commemorations of the Destruction (Hilchos Taaniyos 5:12-15)
    Aug 9 2024

    Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!

    Length: 9 minutes 50 seconds
    Synopsis: Today's halachos are about the enactments and decrees that Chazal set up to commemorate the destruction of the Mikdash and Yerushalayim. Some of these are familiar to us; others seem to no longer be practiced, or at least, are not as visible. Nevertheless, the halachos are here to guide us in how we should think about the destruction and its place in our lives.
