Description

Rambam (Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon, or Maimonides; 1138–1204) was a prominent Jewish philosopher, rabbi, physician, and scholar, a codifier of Torah law. This book, which recounts Rambam’s life, is based on documentary evidence and the great thinker’s letters to his brother, friends, and students, miraculously preserved in the Cairo Geniza. “While working on this book,” the author emphasizes, “I was imbued with the understanding that Rambam was not only a teacher of Torah, but also a man filled with great love for all Jews and who repeatedly risked his life for them.”
