The Mishneh Torah was the Rambam's (Rabbi Moses ben Maimon) magnum opus, a work spanning hundreds of chapters and describing all of the laws mentioned in the Torah. To this day it is the only work that details all of Jewish observance, including those laws which are only applicable when the Holy Temple is in place. Participating in one of the annual study cycles of these laws (3 chapters/day, 1 chapter/day, or Sefer Hamitzvot) is a way we can play a small but essential part in rebuilding the ...

The Torah contains 613 Mitzvos, Commandments. Many of the Mitzvos are quite familiar to us, such as loving our fellow as ourselves and eating matzah on Passover, but many are more obscure and unfamiliar. The Mitzvah Podcast is a project to offer a snapshot of each mitzvah, in the order in which they appear in the Torah. Each episode will be dedicated to a single Mitzvah or a bunch of Mitzvos if they are closely related and offer an overview of said Mitzvah, together with anecdotes and vignet ...

Listen along as Rabbi Menashe Uhr explores the topic of Mitzvos with two special guests - Shlomi and Mellissa. The 3 come very very different Jewish backgrounds, and each bring their own perspectives (and questions!) to the table. The goal is to explore each Mitzvah, and discuss, analyze - and debate - the underlying themes and purpose of the Mitzvah. By understanding what the Mitzvah is really all about we hope to build a personal 'connection' to it, enabling us to perform the Mitzvos of Ha ...
