This afternoon (10/18/21), in our Rambam Bekius chavurah, we went on a little bit of a sidequest. Last week we read the Rambam's tripartite talmud Torah curriculum: a third Torah she'bi'Chsav, a third Torah she'baal Peh, and a third the ACTIVITY of Talmud. Today we delved into the questions of: What, exactly, does the Rambam mean by "talmud," and what is the relationship between HIS "talmud" and what we call "learning Talmud"? We began with the sources in the Mishneh Torah, and would have gone further had we not gotten bogged down in the very necessary-to-answer question of, "What does would include in Torah she'bi'Chsav?" and "What would he include in Torah she'baal Peh"?

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!
