Reopening the Rambam system online Beit Midrash

After God decreed that our Pittsburgh Chaburah be separated. Our memory of that learning reawakened Rabbi Sacks' dormant desire to have an online Beit Midrash to develop further our understanding of the Rambam's system of Torah and Mitzvah. We invite other students, who have turned in their respective directions, to rejoin this quest with their discoveries and thoughts and to learn from the master.

The purpose of a Beit Midrash is for active participation. Please comment! If anyone has something to post please send it to either Rabbi Sacks or myself. As Rabbi Sacks often reminds us, don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. We can also post open threads if people want to post thoughts or questions from their own studies that they don't feel comfortable calling a post. 

I will try to post both things I have merited to learn with Rabbi Sacks as well as applications of his methods to new topics. Hopefully he will have time to post as well.

Well said, Yaakov!

I can't emphasize enough the need to keep in mind the full spectrum of readers, especially those with little or no background.

Let us keep in mind the approach articulated by Rambam himself in writing his work:
"So that all the laws be revealed to both those of lesser stature and those of greater stature"
