Show Notes

This afternoon (3/11/21 at YBT) in our Rambam Bekius chavurah we finished Hilchos Chametz u'Matzah Perek 7. We began by looking up the pesukim cited as the source for the obligation to "see/show oneself as having left Egypt." We then read the halachos of the four cups, the obligation to recline, the mitzvah of charoses, and the mitzvah of maror. Next week we plan on learning Hilchos Chametz u'Matzah Perek 8.

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!
