"#JosephAlbo: Collected #Writings, #edited by #ShiraWeiss, is an important and welcome contribution to the study of #medieval #Jewish #philosophy, making the thought of the #Spaniard Joseph #Albo (1380-1444) newly accessible to contemporary readers.
Bringing together a full presentation of #Sefer #haIkkarim along with Albo’s lesser-known responsum, this volume offers both breadth and depth, illuminating a thinker often overshadowed by figures like #Maimonides (1138-1204) and his own teacher, #HasdaiCrescas (1340-1410/11). The #book is 1753 pages long, and contains the original #Hebrew on the left-hand pages and an easy-to-read modern #English #translation on the right.
Albo’s approach to #Judaism diverged from Maimonides ‘ emphasis on rationalism. He was influenced by #Crescas, who emphasized faith and the observance of #mitzvot (divine commands), an easier form of Judaism than the rigors of Maimonides’ rationalism."

I lost my chat with one of you noting the parallels between the negative epistemology we get from my ontic vagueness bit (https://zenodo.org/records/14674036) and Maimonides's apophatic theology. I had not realized how nice of a parallel there is here.

It is a positive commandment of the Torah to relate the miracles and wonders wrought for our ancestors in Egypt on the night of the 15th of Nissan, as it is written (Exodus 13:3): "Remember this day when you left Egypt," similar to the obligation (Exodus 20:8): "Remember the Sabbath day."
How do we know this is on the night of the 15th? This is taught by the words (Exodus 13:8): "And you shall tell your child on that day, saying: 'It is because of this..." which indicate it is to be done at the time when matzah and marror are placed before you.
This mitzvah applies even when one does not have a child to tell. Even wise sages who know it well are obligated to tell about the Exodus from Egypt. Whoever elaborates upon the events which transpired is worthy of praise.
(Mishneh Torah, Chametz and Matzah 7:1)

It is a postiive commandment of the Torah to eat matzah on the night of the fifteenth of Nissan, as it is written (Exodus 12:18): "In the evening, you shall eat matzot." This applies in every place and time. ...
The early sages would starve themselves on the day before Passover in order to eat the matzah with an appetite and make the mitzvot precious.

Although memories of the suffering endured by our people will one day be nullified, as Isaiah (65:16) prophesied: "For the former suffering will be forgotten and for they will be hidden from My eye," the celebration of Purim will never be nullified, as it is written (Esther 9:28): "And these days of Purim will not pass from among the Jews, nor will their remembrance cease from their descendants."

It is better to increase in gifts to the poor than to increase the size of the Purim feast or food portions sent to friends. For there is no greater and more splendid joy than to gladden the hearts of the poor, the orphans, the widows, and the converts. One who gladdens the hearts of the downtrodden resembles the Divine Presence, which Isaiah (57:15) describes as always there "to revive the spirit of the lowly and the broken hearted."
(Mishneh Torah, Megillah and Chanukah 2:17)
