Neuware - Rabbi Moses son of Maimon, known in Hebrew as Rambam and English as Maimonides (1135-1204), is one of the great luminaries of Judaism whose contributions can hardly be overstated. Though he never authored a linear commentary, he freely quotes biblical verses throughout all of his writings. As interest in Torah learning continues to expand rapidly, this work will surely prove to be a tremendous resource. Maimonides on the Book of Exodus is the culmination of an exhaustive endeavor to identify where Maimonides quotes or alludes to a biblical passage. This work arranges those comments in the order that the verses appear in the Torah. This work also draws on the great critics and defenders of Maimonides, and those debates are examined in depth. Some questions that are explored include: - Are Jews commanded to believe in God - How is Pharaoh's loss of free will justified - What is the meaning of the cryptic phrase 'I am that I am' - What does it mean that God tests the Jewish people - What is the purpose of the Passover offering - What is the purpose of the tabernacle On these and many other questions, the answers of Maimonides are explored side-by-side with Rashi, Ra'avad, Nahmanides (Ramban), Kuzari, Sforno, and countless others.…

Unlocking the Wisdom of Maimonides on the Book of Redemption
Rabbi Moses son of Maimon, known in Hebrew as Rambam and in English as Maimonides (1135-1204), is one of Judaism's most influential and enduring figures. His works have shaped Jewish thought for centuries, combining legal precision, philosophical brilliance, and profound spirituality. While Maimonides never authored a linear commentary on the Torah, his writings are replete with references to and interpretations of biblical verses. These insights offer a glimpse into his unique approach to understanding the narratives, commandments, and themes of the Torah.
Maimonides on the Book of Exodus represents a monumental effort to compile, organize, and analyze every instance where Maimonides references the book of Exodus (Shemot). Each verse he cites is presented in the order it appears in the Torah, accompanied by his commentary from his major works, such as the Mishneh Torah, Guide for the Perplexed, Sefer ha-Mitzvot, and others. Rabbi Alec Goldstein further enriches this study by juxtaposing Maimonides' interpretations with those of other great commentators, including Rashi, Nahmanides, Kuzari, Sforno, and Ra'avad.
This volume goes beyond simple explanation-it dives deeply into the debates and controversies surrounding Maimonides' views, providing readers with a thorough understanding of his interpretations and their lasting impact. Whether you are new to the study of Torah or a seasoned scholar, this work will expand your understanding of Exodus through the lens of one of Judaism's greatest minds.
Key Questions Addressed in the Book:
-
Faith and Belief: Are Jews commanded to believe in God, and how does Maimonides define faith as a mitzvah? How does belief serve as the foundation for observing the rest of the Torah's commandments?
-
Free Will and Divine Justice: How is Pharaoh's loss of free will justified, and what does it teach about divine justice and human accountability? Does God's hardening of Pharaoh's heart conflict with the principles of free will?
-
God's Essence and Revelation: What is the meaning of God's self-identification as "I am that I am" at the burning bush, and how does it reveal His nature? How does Maimonides interpret Moses' prophecy and its unique status among all prophets?
-
Tests and Challenges: Why does God test the Jewish people, and what is the purpose of these challenges in their spiritual journey? How do these tests reflect divine wisdom and the development of faith?
-
Passover and Redemption: What is the significance of the Passover offering, and how does it commemorate the Exodus? How does Maimonides understand the ritual symbolism of the lamb and matzah?
-
The Tabernacle: What is the spiritual purpose of the Tabernacle, and how does it serve as a dwelling place for God's presence? How does Maimonides' interpretation of the Tabernacle differ from other commentators, such as Ramban and Sforno?
Maimonides on the Book of Exodus is a journey into the mind of one of Judaism's greatest thinkers. By illuminating the Rambam's interpretations and placing them alongside those of other giants of Jewish thought, this book offers a new way to engage with the timeless wisdom of Exodus.
