"#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."

In the sufferer let me see only the human being.
-- Maimonides (1135-1204) -
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)

Vamos con una #introduccion #introduction. Esto va a ser un respaldo para lo que pase en Twitter.
Acá hablo de #judaismo #judaism, #Torah y #zionism, con un enfoque basado en #rambam #maimonides. ¿Gustos? Leer mucho, en especial autores #sefaradim, #datimleumim y #modernorthodox
Intento pensar el judaísmo desde la #halakha y presentar temas que no se hablan en el mundo judío hispanohablante.
El nombre "Mered" es la abreviatura de "HaMered HaKadosh" (la rebelión santa), slogan del kibutz hadati en sus comienzos. No tanto ningún lazo formal con ese movimiento pero me gusta la imagen de una rebelión por la Torá, en vez de contra la Torá. -
An animated (well, sort of) biopic of Rambam, who is voiced by Leonard Nimoy!!! So excited to watch this with the kids!
