Sefer Ahava: The Book of Love by Maimonides
Instructor: Rabbi Andy Bachman
Join Rabbi Bachman in an ongoing study of this classic
work of Jewish thought by Rabbi Moses ben Maimon, the great medieval thinker. The
Book of Love is the Rambam’s extended look at various forms of Jewish
spirituality—from the recitation of the Sh’ma and Amidah (or
central prayer) to laws concerning Tefilin, Talit, Torah Scroll, Mezzuzah,
and even Circumcision. The Sefer Ahava is a fascinating look into
medieval Jewish life and a timeless exploration of critical Jewish ideas and
expression still relevant today. No knowledge of Hebrew required—we will study
texts in English.
