My name is Rabbi Matt Schneeweiss, and this is the podcast for my Rambam Bekius Chavurah at Yeshiva Bnei Torah (YBT). We typically meet four days a week for an hour and learn the writings of the Rambam on a bekius level (i.e. with the aim of covering ground rather than doing an in-depth analysis). Our focus is on the Mishneh Torah, but we will frequently delve into the Sefer ha'Mitzvos, the Peirush ha'Mishnayos, the Moreh ha'Nevuchim, and other writings from the Rambam when our learning takes us there. If you're interested in attaining fluency in the Rambam's Torah, then this is the podcast for you!

The final halacha is about the status of these fast days in the time of Moshiach. I share a beautiful article from Rabbi Joshua Maroof on this topic and apply his insight to this final halacha in the Rambam....

Commemorations of the Destruction (Hilchos Taaniyos 5:12-15)
Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text! Length: 9 minutes 50 seconds Synopsis: Today's halachos are about the enactments and decrees that Chazal set up to commemorate the destruction of the Mikdash and Yerushalayim. Some of these are familiar to us; others seem to no longer be practiced, or at least, are not as visible. Nevertheless, the halachos are here to guide us in how we should think about the destruction and its place in our lives. Rambam on Music Part 1: https://w...
