Maimonidays

Complicating the previous chapter, Rambam explores limits and problems with Free Will

Free Will! Rambam uses the laws of Teshuvah to explore the philosophical concept of free will in relation to the statement of the Mishnah that, 'everything is foreseen, yet freedom of action is given'

Teshuvah-blockers! Chapter 4 is all about the 24 things which can get in the way of Teshuvah, despite its power

The second half of Chapter 3 explores the categories and contingencies for Jews who are deprived of their share in the world to come – sectarians, Torah-deniers, Epicureans, traitors and more

In the first half of Chapter 3 we explore Rambam's theory of morality (51% good is good enough) and consider the implications of such a way of thinking for Jewish community today

We conclude Chapter of Hilkhot Teshuvah, discussing the all important question of what exactly Teshuvah is, how it is done and critically, what it is not!

We begin to look at Teshuvah properly - the who, what, how, why and where of this process of return, recovery and redemption

The long-anticipated conclusion to Avodah Zarah and the beginning of Teshuvah – just in time for Rosh haShanah!

We begin the final chapter of Avodah Zarah (!)

We conclude Chapter 11 of Avodah Zarah, exploring more of the law around magic and magic-users, here getting a glimpse into Maimonides' philosophical understanding of supernatural phenomena and their moral danger
