This afternoon (12/13/21), in our Rambam Bekius chavurah, we began by answering two leftover questions from last week. We then moved on to the halachos for how the rav and talmidim should sit during shiur, and how the turgaman (a.k.a. the human microphone) should facilitate in-shiur communication. We made some nice progress in the first new topic, but felt we understood less in the second. We'll make another pass tomorrow and then move on (בג"ה).

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!
