Length: 26 minutes
Synopsis: This afternoon (5/10/23), in our Rambam Bekius mini-shiur, we went on a fun detour (from our already fun detour). We planned to learn about the mitzvos unique to a king, the first of which is to write a second Sefer Torah for himself. First, we had to learn about the mitzvah for EVERY Jewish male to write a Sefer Torah. We started with the Rambam's Sefer ha'Mitzvos, which led us to the Torah Temimah's explanation of the drashah, which led us to the view of the Tur and the Rosh that this mitzvah can be done (or is replaced) by the mitzvah to buy books (perhaps just from the publisher?) which led us to the Aruch ha'Shulchan. Since we didn't finish, the plan tomorrow is to complete the Aruch ha'Shulchan and the Torah Temimah, then go bad to the halachos in the Mishneh Torah.
