December 14, 2022 Rabbi Matt Schneeweiss Season 9 Episode 35
Rambam Bekius
Megilas Antiochus and Rambam's Al ha'Nissim (Seder Tefilos)
Show Notes

Length: 20 minutes
Synopsis: This afternoon (12/14/22), in our Rambam Bekius mini-shiur, we put yesterday's questions on hold and addressed two other topics: (1) What's the deal with Megilas Antiochus? While the Yad Peshutah freely quotes from it, historian Mitchell First doesn't view it as a credible source. Make of that what you will. (2) We decided to read the Rambam's version of Al ha'Nissim and explain some of the nuances.
