In his monumental medieval work, Moreh Nevukhim (Guide for the Perplexed), the Rambam lays out his project to explain the principles of Ma’aseh Bereshit and Ma’aseh Merkavah. These terms describe the nature of our physical world and the metaphysical realm, respectively, and one should utilize Scripture, the Oral tradition, and science to arrive at the truths of these principles. The Rambam believes that Aristotelian philosophy is the most accurate science of his day, and with some minor adjustments, one can fit it into the Torah’s paradigm. The ultimate objective of attaining this knowledge is to use it to connect with the Divine and realize man’s purpose in being. Join our Mara D'asra, Rabbi Daniel Korobkin, live from  BAYT, as he methodically goes through the Moreh Nevukhim section by section, week by week, with the hope of understanding these ideas and making them meaningful to us in our lives.
