Description

We look at the differences between Torah in the 'Narrow Sense' and Torah in the 'Broad Sense,' starting with the Rambam's attitude toward Philosophy, Science and Halakhah. Along the way we discuss women's obligation to study Torah, the problem of lighting in the Pre-Modern World (and יקום פורקן), the Afghani and European Geniza, What happened to the Menorah and more.
