This afternoon (2/8/22), in our Rambam Bekius chavurah, we began Perek 6 which is about the mitzvah of honoring talmidei chachamim. In truth we've been on this topic for a while, but only now does the Rambam formally present the mitzvah in the Mishneh Torah. Today we focused on trying to understand the basic nature of this "standing of glorification" and learning about its parameters. We'll continue tomorrow by tying up the loose ends on some unresolved questions from today (i.e. the Rambam's version of the drashah for workers and the case of the father who is a student of his own son), and then we'll move on to the next halachos.

Bekius Disclaimer:
Note that this is a bekius chavurah - as opposed to an iyun shiur. Each session consists of us reading through the Rambam's writings together without much preparation on my part, and without going into depth by consulting commentaries or primary sources. For all these reasons, there are bound to be inaccuracies, errors, and other types of shortcomings which would not be acceptable in a prepared shiur, but are quite typical of a bekius chavurah. Please bear this in mind, and know what you're signing up for when you listen!
