The Mitzvos in Hilchos Chametz u'Matzah
Show Notes

This afternoon (3/1/21 at YBT), in our Rambam Bekius chavurah, we began Hilchos Pesach in preparation for the upcoming chag. Because we know that there's no way we'll make it through all of the halachos in all eight chapters of Hilchos Chametz u'Matzah in the 13 sessions we have in march, we've decided to do an overview of all the mitzvos - using the Sefer ha'Mitzvos and the first couple halachos in each chatper - and then focusing primarily on chapters 7-8, which pertain to the seder, along with the nusach ha'hagadah. We finished going through the mitzvos in the Sefer ha'Mitzvos today, and we plan on starting the actual halachos tomorrow.

Bekius Disclaimer:
Note that this is a bekius chavurah - as opposed to an iyun shiur. Each session consists of us reading through the Rambam's writings together without much preparation on my part, and without going into depth by consulting commentaries or primary sources. For all these reasons, there are bound to be inaccuracies, errors, and other types of shortcomings which would not be acceptable in a prepared shiur, but are quite typical of a bekius chavurah. Please bear this in mind, and know what you're signing up for when you listen!
