In this shiur, we learn the second Perek of Hilchot Yesodei HaTorah, where the Rambam explores how contemplation of Hashem’s creation leads to love and awe of Him. The perek also introduces the structure of the spiritual and physical worlds, providing a deeper understanding of Hashem’s wisdom as revealed through creation.

In this first shiur, we begin the Rambam’s Mishneh Torah by learning the opening Perek of Hilchot Yesodei HaTorah, which outlines foundational concepts of emunah, knowledge of Hashem, and the basis of mitzvah observance.
