Hakirah

I just wanted to take the opportunity to say that I subscribed to Hakirah. The article on Rambam- Mishne torah science and art- by R. Buchman is an absolute must read and deserves any support we can give. It can be found at hakirah.org. [Thank you Yakov].

The issue also includes an important give and take between R. Zucker and R. Slifkin on the issue of the Yesodei hatorah- among French Jewry. In light of this discussion, I highly recommend reading Rambam's letters on French Jewry as well as his letter to the Jews of Marseilles. The essay "Milchamot Hashem" of Rabbenu Avraham Ben Harambam is also highly important in understanding the background of this issue.
