Maimonidays

The start of Chapter 4, all about food and medicine

In the third chapter of Dé'ot, Rambam walks us through some of the concepts critical to good behaviour, exploring asceticism and hedonism, the balanced life, and what it means to have kavvanah

We continue our exploration of morality, with Rambam suggesting a model of medicalisation and defining further the categories of Hakham, Hasid and Tsaddik.

As we turn to Hilkhot Dé'ot, we see the groundwork for Rambam's concept of morality and moral behaviour

A final look at prophets, true and false

We look at how to identify a false prophet and how the chain of authority and assent relates to the text and law of the Torah

What prophets should we believe? What is the nature of belief itself in Judaism?

We look at Ch 7 - beginning the discussion of Nevu'ah (Prophecy)

In Chapter 6 we read all about divine names and divine objects – how we are to determine what is sacred and what is not, and then how we are meant to treat the sacred, particularly the sacred divine names.

Concluding Chapter 5, we explore the situations in which one may transgress Halakhah for therapeutic and medical purposes
