This afternoon (4/12/21 at YBT) in our Rambam Bekius chavurah we had an unprecedented accomplishment: we set out to review what we did last time (the three paragraphs which comprise 7:1) and we didn't even complete the review (we only covered two paragraphs)! I refer to this as an "accomplishment" because we achieved a level of clarity far beyond what we had last time, thanks to a special guest. Next time we'll begin with the third paragraph of 7:1 and see how far we get from there.

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!
